i have had constipation before and usually i take some laxatives and after i go, i am back to normal. but i have been constipated for about a week now and i go after i take a laxative, but after that, if i don't take it again, i cant go. i don't want to take more laxatives because i'm not too sure of what it is actually doing to my body. any suggestions? or ideas on what it could be or what i should do? any help would be appreciated
