BM: If you have not had a bowel movement for 14 days - hard to explain - please have someone take you to the nearest Emergency Facility. Hard to believe no bowel movement - the Emergency facility will check your bowel movements.

Severe Constipation: Constipation in general is a sign that all is not well. If you are not on any medications that cause constipation, getting thyroid checked is important. Now for immediate relief, Make sure you are eating natural fiber like vegetables and drinking water. Add flax seed powder 2 tablespoons 3 times a day to your smoothie or morning oatmeal. Yes you can take magnesium citrate but you do need testing.
