Q: Constipated for a week ?

Last Saturday night I ate a whole pizza, the next day I went to the chinese buffet and ate 4 plates of food and later that night i stopped at wendy's. i normally don't eat this much.

this totally constipated me i think.
i took laxatives that never helped. every time i go only a little bit of thin stuff comes out of my anus. i feel that 80% of the stuff i have eaten since then is still in my intestines (it's now friday). my stomache area feels really full as opposed to soft. here and there i can feel a very slight string where my appendix used to be (it has been taken out years ago).

i think i will buy some stool softener next and give that a shot.
i'm not sure if it is too late for me already.

i eat but nothing comes out, that can't be good. i'm sure soon or later i'll explode or something.
is giving the situation more time helping or do i need to take new actions?

Have you found anything that worked for your constipation? Are you on any other medications? There are some meds that can cause constipation. Also, have you talked to your doctor about taking laxatives? Here is a website I found with great information about laxative use: laxatives

Hopefully everything is going smoothly by now!

thanks.

i started using the stool softener last night and i think it's helping. i just took some more. i don't take other medicine, the cause is definitely that i ate so much at once.
