A member asked:

No bowel movements for two weeks, today i have several sudden severely painful heart burn/reflux episodes, can these two be related?

Dr. Michael Yap answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Go to urgent care: If you truly haven't had a bowel movement for 2 weeks, I would advise you be seen by a physician sooner rather than later for workup and treatment. Please head to your nearest urgent care clinic or ER. I would recommend that you refrain from eating anything until you are seen to avoid making things worse.
