Suggest Treatment For Frequent Bowel Movements
I always go approx. 5-8 days between bowel movements. This time it was 14 days. I took ex-lax and that worked. I am wondering if the amount of time between bowel movements is a sign of anything else more serious. I have been constipated my whole life -

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation.
I suggest using an over the counter laxativ option such as Miralax.
I also suggest using daily probiotics.
I recommend using a healthy diet and drinking liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
