What Causes Severe Constipation Along With Increased Appetite?

thank you. I am unsure what to do and what my issue is. I have been constipated for a while now - I really do not have bowel movements for weeks straight, I get toxic in my brain, and Ive been gaining weight despite the pretty good eating habits. I don t have a great appetite usually but there are times I have an extreme appetite and can eat a double meal. Ive never been like this that I recall. I did blood work recently and most came out good. My doctor said the thyroid seems a borderline high but my chiropractic doctor said it is borderline low. Recently I recalled that about 2.5 years ago my metabolism was amazing, it was probably working 100%, I exercised 1-2 hours by swimming and shed most of my unwanted weight. at the end of that summer I went to Mexico and I believe that is when all this started. I had a year of feeling okay and having regular bowel movements with the aid of baking soda in water every morning. But now that doesn t seem to help at all. What do you think???
