What are the next steps if mag citrate & otc laxatives do not relieve abnormal (2 weeks) constipation & no blockage is shown on x-rays?

Many ideas...: Eliminate all white flour and dairy from your diet. Assess if any of your chronic medications cause constipation. Double your current daily fluid intake. Soak prunes in water, overnight. In the morning, drink the water and eat the prunes. Soak in a warm, soapy bath. Add polyethylene glycol (aka Miralax) as per over the counter directions. If no relief after one week, see a physician.
