I think you need to increase the fiber content of your diet.

If you eat too many refined foods with little or no enzymes,

your body will have a very tough time. You should eat plenty of fruits and raw vegetables and drink plenty of fluids.

Also, you might want to take a liver cleanse supplement. Ask at a local
health store and they will point you to a good liver supplement.

If none of this works, then see your doctor because going two weeks without a bowel movement is not right.

Hope this helps...Good luck

I really appreciate your reply.. I have tried diet, fibers, exersice, nothing works.. I have even taken up to 8 correctals before with nothng!! The only thing that helps me go is fleet (the nasty kind you drink)!1 eghh.. So why do you think the mucas is so bad and smells?

Im not an expert, but I think too much mucus coming out of there
might be a sign of an overactive liver and/or gall bladder.

What I dont understand is how come you eat a regular diet and dont go?

Where is it all going? Hmm I will have to think about this.

Are you taking a broad spectrum vitamin supplement? Do you have any other problems besides not going to the bathroom?

I mean are you in good health otherwise?

I had a hystorectomy 3 years ao (then 29). Other than that i've always been constipated. I'm serious, I can go a wekk or 2 without going to bathroom. I have to drink that fleet stuff. Even regular laxatives don't help me. Fleet is the nly thing.

By the way, for the past month I have been getting this sharp pain on my right side-- sometimes it is unbearadble... But goes away and doesn't come back for a couple of months.

Sorry to get back so late, but I was out of town...'

i am interested in your situation and I am trying to understand whats going on.

Can you tell me what fleet consists of? I mean what are the ingredients in a typical bottle of fleet.

Have you gone to the doctor about this problem? Have they suggested anything or come up with any answers?

I went to the doctor about 5 years ago and got a colonoscopy(spell) they found cyst, or something.. Can't remember. I did not go back because the colon. Hurt so bad!! I said never again. I hear now they put you to sleep.

I have had this pain before -- couple of months ago. It's in my right side sorta low between my back and stomach. It is sharp, dull feeling and at times unbearable. It wakes me up from my sleep and lasts about 20 minutes or so.. Sometimes it hurts really bad, other times it hurts but more annoying than painful.. Could it be my appendix or gall bladder?

I did a quick search on the web for gall bladder symptoms etc.

It does list a dull pain in the right upper abdomen as one of the symptoms. Since the gall bladder stores bile which is used for digestion, if it stops working and gets clogged with a gallstone, then you would
have trouble digesting food which is also one of your symptoms.

I found this website selling a formula for liver/gall bladder:

note: I just did a search and came up with the site. I dont know anything about them. It might be worth a try..

Good luck

Uhh, you really need to get to a doctor!

I do need to go to the doctor.. Egh! It's just so embarrsing!! I can't believe i'm even on here talkiing about it.. Thanks for listening though.

Yes, you need a doctor, and soon. This should not be happening and if you put it off for 2 years, I cant even imagine. Hopefully not to scare you but everything is still okay. Looks like you might have calcium stones in your blatter or something clogging you up. I am not an expert but with your symptons I know you need to see a doc and soon. Hope that helps.

Just letting everyone know I have a doctor's appt. At 4:00 on monday afternoon..Will keep you posted. Wish me luck, i'm a little nervous. :(

Yesterday I had this severe pain in my right side again, only this time it hurt even for me to walk. So I went down to the er and they ran a ton of tests. Everything was ok other than severe constipation (which I knew) the reason it was so bad on that right side was because it was backed up on that side more. He also said my colon muscles were strectched out so much that they completely quite working!

He gave me some med's and told me to take as much laxitaves I needed until I eventually build my colon muscle back up and it starts working on it's own. So, I did just that and i'm feeling better. I do have a bad headache...Maybe it's from my body letting out all that toxin and waste!!

Thanks to everyone who's listened to me especially spanky2005

Misscadde, it really feels like at this point that your pain is my pain.
There is nothing more I want other than to see you healthy.

Sometimes I wonder why these doctors get paid so much when they can't even diagnose properly.

But don't worry, I am sure there are lots of people on this board that wish you get totally healthy. I like to think I am on top of that list.

Please keep in touch as we are all here to listen and help if we can.

Here's a toast to your health and well being :-)

Nothing seems to helping yet. I have been eating spinach, greens, wheat.. So I went tonight and bought some fiber pills. If this doesn't work my next step will be buying some of that colonix cleaner -- cleans out your colon.
Anyone ever heard of it?

I started taking benefiber two days ago and it's starting to help!! I've gone like 4 times today....
