GO see your doctor: When someone who is 29 Y.O. Is having constipation and Dulcolax doesn't stimulate a bowel movement, i would see the doctor. You can try otc MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) and see if that helps. You may need an xray to confirm the dx. He may give you something called mgcitrate or laculose to help get the bowels moving. You may need labs, so go see the doctor.
