Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query in detail and can very well understand your health concerns..

As per your complain infrequent bowel movements and unable to evacuate bowels daily seems to be due to Constipation and the cause for it can be:
-Sudden changes in dietary habits.
-Lack of fibre intake in diet.
-Excess intake of antacids.
-Irritable bowel syndrome.
-Excess intake of dairy,eating disorders.
-Lack of appropriate physical activity.
-Side effects of medicines.
-Dehydration.
-Hypothyroidism etc..
I would suggest you to start taking more of green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet..
Drink plenty of water.
Do moderate workout and take walk after meals..
In case of no improvement consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you get investigations done like Colonoscopy, Barium swallow, hormonal assy etc to confirm the cause..
Treatment of the cause can relieve the symptoms..
You can also be advised to take laxativs like Polyethylene glycol [Miralax], castor oil also acts as a lubricant and laxative..
You can also be advised to take Psyllium husk or Lactulose..
You can also be advised medications like Lubiprostone or Linaclotide..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
