What Leads To Constipation And Stomach Bloating?

Hi,I only Poo once every 5 days, if not longer. After a couple of days I just get so bloated, but still will not poo. I am 22 years old and other then that fit and healthy. I go to the gym atleast 5 days a week and have a balanced diet. I have noticed this for years from when I can remember. Recently I have tried everything I drink water by the gallons loads a day, I take fibre tablets, eat highest fibre cereal for breakfast and raw carrots daily. I have recently tried drinking green tea twice a day and cutting out food which may block me up such as gluten. As my friends recently keep pointing out where is the food Iam eating in the days go. Is there something wrong with my digestion? Everyone I know poo daily and I just don t? Could there be something more wrong with my digestion?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern no need to be very much conscious for not having regular every day bowel movement because if this is not proven any disease then no need to worry bout this, better drink more water, have more fiber diet, and more important is keep regular habit of going to toilet even if you do not want to be in still go in and sit there for while no matter if you do not pass the stool, do not apply any force, you need to be very patience for having good result, hope this information helps, take care.
