Hi everyone i'm new here and need some help! hopefully i'm posting this in the right place but here goes....
The past couple of weeks i've been experiencing really bad constipation, i've never had particularly frequent bowel movements anyway (approx 2-3 times a week) however in the past four weeks i've only been 4 times, 3 of which were induced through laxatives. As of today it has been a week since my last bowel movement and i am again considering taking laxatives. Also it seems my body won't respond to a normal does of laxatives as when i tried taking the recommended dose of ducolax for four days nothing happened at all, so i know its bad but i'm taking around 5 whenever i need to go which means i end up with awful diarrhea which i figure is better than nothing at all.
Some details; i'm 20 normal weight but i have suffered from bulimia for quite a long time which i'm guessing could have caused whatever's going on? I have never abused laxatives though and still digest enough food that i shouldn't be constipated.
I can't get to my doctor for a couple of weeks so if anyone has any idea whats going on and can help me out i will be very very grateful because at the moment i'm quite scared
