See PCP/GI consult..: 26 y/o person says, Took 2 enemas administered by causality, laxative, probiotics scripted for constipation but my condition is not improving after a week, what do I do? One should see their PCP/GI Consult for proper Physical Examination including a Rectal and other appropriate tests & Imaging if necessary. The sooner the better.

Prune juice: It's a natural laxative. If the problem persists, get checked out.

Get help: The large bowel is used primarily for storage & to extract water from your poop. When you don't empty often enough it will become drier, bulkier & begin to balloon your large bowel. It develops over time and can take a year to effectively reverse. You need to find a GI doc with experience in rehabbing such patients & get on a plan. Daily scheduled emptying, laxatives & monitoring can help.
