Why haven't i had a bowel movement in 4 days? i take colace (docusate sodium) everyday. i also suffer with severe iron deficiency anemia. i have been eating and drinking

Iron Pills?: If you are taking iron pills that could be the reason for constipation. A high fiber diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water will help.

Agree with Dr. F: It may be time to give yourself an enema. You may use Fleet's soda enema, available at a drug store, without prescription. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
