Severe constipation question...?!

Question: Severe constipation question...?

I'm sorry if this might come off as sort of gross...but i'm in alot of pain right now because I haven't gone for a few days now. I'm drinking alot of water, and i've also had a large bowl of salad and tried taking alot of fibre, you name it i've done it...warm water with lime and also metamucil...and other sources of fibre...but none of it is working and i feel very disguisted because all the toxins aren't coming out and it's hurting alot (i'm also very bloated). i also don't want to take laxatives because i've taken them a few times already and i don't want to depend on them so often...
so can you guys please give me any advice on what i should do...it feels like i tried everything and nothing's working :(

thanks in advance!

Take a 1 to 2 quart warm water enema. Hold for 5 to 15 minutes and you will be relieved.

I would not take Miralax. IT IS A LAXATIVE. The active ingredient is Polyethylene Glycol-electrolyte solution it works by drawing moisture from your body into your colon. The misinformed person has never actually read the box that clearly states "Polyethylene Glycol 3350 Powder for Solution, Laxative". It is the same ingredient that is used in many bowel preparation laxatives.

Don't take Miralax - it has a terrible reputation for addictiveness/side-effects (there's a Yahoo group about it).
It's safer to use an enema - and that works in only 5-10 minutes.

Miralax. It's not a laxative, it's a stool softener and it works wonders. The genetics are fine.
