Bowel movement backup

Is it possible to have so much bowels trapped inside your body that can cause you to die on the toilet if you take a laxative?

I agree with pinky.  But if you take a laxative and nothing happens, you need to seek medical help, especially if you are experiencing any pain.

Hi chase well it is certainly not good that ur not moving ur bowles either evryday or every other day.You should try eating alot of fiber.Also use a natural laxative like senna-s or miralax.If I were u i would take it for about 1 week to see if ur bowels return to normal.Eat healthy food cuz harsh food can do that to u aswell good luck!

No, this isn't possible.  But have you gone a long time without a BM?
