You are constipated: As you know and you are backed up. Fruits that begin with a "p" make you poop (peach, pear, plum, prune, pineapple, papaya, pumpkin, peas, and pomegranate). More water, decrease processed foods ad grains temporarily as they can be binding. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) may be helpful foe a bit to empty yu out or a tea called smooth move tea. You will need a diet adjustment to keep his from being a chronic problem.

It means constipated: You shoud increase fluid intake, fibers such as fibercon/metamucil/benefiber/senokot and more roughage such as fresh fruits and veggies. Try to make bm every day at about same time, and don't hold your urges too long--go when you feel you have to go. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) or milk-of-magnesium will help for first few days. If not better, consult doc. Good luck.
