What Causes Inability To Pass Stools Regularly?

for 21 years i had a bowel problem it started when i was 2. i would never get the urge to go for months at a time then i would finally get the urge to go and nothing would happen, i visited my gp on may occassions and at first he told my mum not to worry that i would go when i was ready but that was when i was 3/4. the problem continued for years and had been given fibagel and lactolose but neither helped so i stopped takin them. then when i was 22 i got really ill on holiday it had beed roughly 4-5 months since my last movement and i ended up getting flown home from my holiday and was in bed for over a week couldent eat n was vomiting and ended up with diohrrea. finally when i reached 23 i got it under control, i dont go as regular as most people and it might be a week or 2 before i go but its painfree and easily passed which im happy with but was jus curious what ur oppinion of this may be?
