Go get help: Two weeks is a long time to go without a bowel movement, and is getting dangerous. There are many possible causes, and these need to be explored, but the most urgent thing is to make sure you are not obstructed and get things moving.

Happy Fourth of July Doctors! I seem to get occasional constipation, but When I eat dairy my bowel movements are looser. Can I take something like Benefiber or Metamucil or Miralax to keep my bowel movements similar to how they are after I eat dairy?
