I'm always constipitated for 8-9 days at a time..my doctor's said there was nothing wrong ...do you think you can help me and give me advise...

Constipated: Chronic constipation can be difficult to treat. If you have not been evaluated with x-rays and possibly colonoscopy, then you need to see your doctor for further evaluation. Many times if anatomically things are normal it requires dietary changes, such as getting plenty of fiber intake as well as drinking plenty of water daily. Laxatives are one of the worst things that you can take for this problem.
