I hate to be gross but i have not had a bowel movement

I haven't gone to the bathroom in a few weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions? Suppositories do not work. I can't take any pills because i have to crush them. I was told to take colace but its a liquid pill. Is it normal not to have a bowel movement for this long?? I'm getting scared??

Which one of the suggestions worked for you?

I've never that gone that long w/o a BM. I take Swiss Kriss, and herbal laxative ~1x per week to make sure I keep going every few days. Lately, I'm been using diet balance to regulate my um... Once you get to the mushy stage, try adding 1/2 avocado per day to you diet. It tastes great, lots of healthy fats and high in fibre! Eggplant is pretty good as well and 1 usually have 1 bean based meal per day. All that protein and low food intake kinda disrupts the natural order of things, but I'd definitely talk to my doctor if there's been no movement in 2 weeks.
