It sounds like you need a stomach emptying test done, you could have problems digesting your food.  If this is the case, there is medication to help with this, and it's not a laxative.  Laxatives are really not good to take forever, as your body can become dependent on them.  You really need to see a doctor.

I know that one of the medications is Motilium and the other is Reglan, my vote would be for Motilium, less side effects.

Couldn't for the life of me think of the name of this illness, but it's called gastroparesis. Anyway, I'm not saying that is exactly what you have, I'm no doctor, but it sure sounds like it and you need to get a proper diagnosis from a gastroenterologist.
