A member asked:

I havent had a bowel movement in over a week and ive taken laxatives fiber supplement all week with little to no results what can i do thank you ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should find a reason: A person with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then the things to try are vegetables, water, prune juice, prunes, fiber-with-water, Miralax (polyethylene glycol), Senokot or other senna, Milk of Magnesia, or other laxatives... A doctor can evaluate and also consider Linzess.
