Well, I think you: Might have figured out the issue. Try MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) 1 dose in juice 1-2 times per day. Mag citrate is more potent if there is a real backup. You need to have a bowel movement at least 2 x per week and keep up the fluids. Good luck, go in if no improvement.

See your doctor: Schedule an appointment asap and have en exam and a thorough history. Pooping once a month is horrifically abnormal and needs to be addressed asap. You should be pooping every day so there is something significantly abnormal going on here. That might be simple constipation and be easily fixed and i might be something much more. Get checked out and get an exam asap.
