A member asked:

I haven't had a proper bowel movement since 2 days ago. last week i was fine until i ate spaghetti, then i started having these problems.

See details: There is no law that says you have to move your bowels every day. Spaghetti had nothing to do withit. It is persists3 or 4 days take a mild laxative but stop worrying.
