I do not go but every couple of days so far this week i havent went since last friday and to day is wednesday i dont want to take a ex lax because i heard if you use them to much your bowel movements will go wak and you will have to use them all the time I also heard that you are suppose to go at least 2-3 times a day i wonder if this is also why i cant lose anymore weight.

Hello Luv,

I think that everyone has their own system of when they have bowel movements. Accourding to my Gastro Dr. you should have a bowel movement at least 1 x day or every other day. That is what is best for your insides. But, some people only go 1 or 2 x week..

You need to either take Metamucil everyday all the time, or eat 1 - 2 prunes a day. Or some such other method. Lots of raw veges and fruits and whole wheat bread and cereals. Also, nuts.

If you are not careful, you will get so constipated that you will have trouble getting it to come out. Very painful. Plus, depending on how old you are, you could eventually develop a prolapsed rectal "parts". What ever that is called. :>

Take care and get something to make you more regular.

Dr. Natura's Colonix helps make your poo softer and very regular, sometimes several times a day. It's kind of expensive, but worth a try.

Did you recently stop eating a food you are used to eating? If I stop eating chocolate I get constipated and may not go for a week, or I go really hard. Once I go back to it within 3 days my entire system is back to normal. So it could be something like that.
