Question: so this has been a problem for a while now maybe a month,and this time, havent gone to the bathroom in about a week and a half, long time, i know!! i have been eating lots of fiber and i tried an enema but it burned because of the saline, i tried sapositories, but they came right out. i dont know what to do.. could i have a more serious health issue? i have been a little depressed lately and i havent been working out, so maybe thats part of it. i know i should go to the doc, but im just curious what you guys think..

Try drinking a lot more water. That will help to flush your system. Also eat an apple, pear or yogurt w/wheat germ. You could also make the water lemon flavored, it helps in the flush. You're right---1 1/2 wk?! you could get sick. You need to pass BM right away. Cut out all breads, rice, pasta immediately. Try the enema again using just warm water--you have to hold in it a few minutes though to get it to work properly. If none of this works within a day or two go to the doctor--you can't be holding onto your crap for 2 weeks--you'd be most uncomfortable and bloated as hell.
try eating pruins ...but your physician is the best resource.
WalMart has a lemon flavored drink that is less than $2, that will cause a BM within 6 hours.
Any change in your diet and exercise could cause it. I would call the doctor though.
I used to always be constipated. Until one day I had such a horrible stomach pain that i finally drove myself to the doc. turns out my gallbladder was only working @ 7%. I was admitted and had emergency surgery the next mornin. If u see a doctor and then tell you to wait it out,and a few days "still nothing" request a HIDA scan... it measures ur gallbladder output. ur gallbladder store the bile soo i am a firm believer that if u dont poop its ur gallbladder! As my grandmother says "if you dont poop ur not healthy" do urself a favor and get to the doctor !
