If you eat a lot of fiber without also drinking a lot of water, you will produce bricks in your colon.Drink at least 8 cups of water a day, and exercise (walk, run, etc.).Having a bowel movemnent only once every two weeks is quite abnormal, especially if you're also taking laxatives. If you take enough laxatives, your poop should turn to water. Also, your colon will eventually start pulling water out of your body to hydrate the poop so it will pass out of your body.I'd consider going a week without a BM a medical emergency. So what does that make two weeks without one? You need to get to a doctor pronto, or you're risking gravely serious problems. I don't understand how you're not having terrible cramps, unless you're starving yourself. All in all, this is pretty hard to believe.

all the doctors say the same thing, that if i am not regular, than it gets backed up and moves up into my belly, so the only way to get rid of it is to throw up (which i dont want to do) and yes i drink alot and run
-
I don't believe this. Are you talking about doctors or witch doctors? If you're constipated long enough, you will start to throw up, since new stuff has nowhere to go. But that won't clear out your over-inflated colon.Either this is a joke, or your "doctors" are idiots. If it's not a joke, then someone needs to figure out what's causing the backup, before your intestine ruptures and you die.

no way is this a joke! i think i might have a hair clot because i have Trich. which causes me to "space out" and pull out and eat my hair. i am rather embarassed about this but have seen a doctor. i dont know if that is the reason for the poo problem, but my poo isnt backed up...

If you haven't pooped in two weeks, then your poop has been backed up for two weeks. Are we speaking the same language here?If you haven't pooped in two weeks, then you have a blockage. If you have a blockage, whether it's from hair or anything else, then you have a serious medical emergency. I mean an emergency. If your colon busts, you will very likely die.
-
Yep, I agree with that. I can't believe that someone who hasn't crapped for two weeks would be able to type at a keyboard. I've been constipated for a few days, and the cramps are pretty bad. Beyond that, there is a real danger of the colon leaking, getting pertonitis, and dying.Is there something in what the OP said that we didn't understand?
-
It's hard to believe that she'd feel fine with two weeks of poop accumulated, but anything's possible. Still, it's very dangerous, and it could indicate a blockage in the intestines. I had a blockage, and within a few days I was throwing up. I'd noticed even before that that gas had started moving in the wrong direction, and I kept burping.

The whole point of pooping is to get rid of everything that your body doesn't need. I suggest trying an enema.

Firstly, this is a dead thread. Secondly, my pooping is fine.
