Enema: The gut is like a highway; works great when things move through smoothly, but when it backs up, everyone is miserable. If you were having intermittent constipation, adding fiber and/or a stool softener would help. However, since you've been chronically constipated now for 3 weeks, you will likely need either suppository or enema to "jump start" your colon. Go to the er if you have pain.
