Maybe constipated: It is probably due to constipation, eat high fiber food, drink plenty of fluid eat fruits and vegetables ; may try over the counter laxative and see if it helps

Blocked or slowed.: Usually that would indicate that either your intestines are blocked up or are working more slowly than they should ("ileus"). To know for sure, you would need an examination and perhaps an abdominal Xray. More needs to be done to know exactly what's going on.
