Water. Flax seed..

this is what we use in the hospital and it works - but beware it's a hard thing to swallow

The Bomb -

Milk of Mag, Cascara and Dr. Pepper - all warmed to a temp you can swallow without being burned

A note before you do this -- you mentioned weeks since you pooped -- I would be suspect of a blockage of some type - you should contact your doctor before you try anything else or go to an emergency room to see one. Better safe than sorry when dealing with bowel issues.

I believe you should see the doctor...I would be afraid that could be serious! :(

Try a tea. I went through the same problem and my nutritionist suggested a tea "Smooth Move' It works really good and fast. You can get it at GNC or some WalMarts carry it too.

Try prune juice to get things moving along so to speak and then a daily fiber like Benefiber I had the same problem

I agree with others that you should check that it's not a blockage... if not, my dr recommends drinking 80-100oz of water per day ( I know it's a lot!)... I also learned from reading these blogs to eat prunes. I dealt with constipation badly and could only go if I took an exlax. Eating one servings of prunes a day has gotten me to become pretty regular! Hope you feel better soon!!

I agree with everyone to be sure it is not a blockage. I had a similar situation, did take laxatives. I also make sure to drink A LOT of Water. I also make sure to take Fiber pills/gummies daily, as well as a stool softener. This has helped me tremendously and I have not a had a problem since.

Hope you are felling better soon!
