A member asked:
My gma has been in bed&pain constipated for the last week. the dr gave laxatives which didn't help and x-ray showed she's constipated. what can we do?

See a GI doctor : Any change in bowel habits especially in an older person warrants closer examination. If your grandma hasn't passes poop or gas in over 3 days she may be obstructed. Go to the er if tho is the case.
