It's been 5 days since I have had a bowel movement. Is that bad?


Question:
This happens a lot to me where I would have a bowel movement for a couple days and then have one but this is the longest. Does this mean I should get it checked out?

Answers:
Red meat really slows down the system and you are better off without it. White meat is much better for you than red meat and fish is one of the best animal proteins.

Oranges, mandarins and prunes would help.

A vegetarian diet would be the best.
very bad =go to hospital and see Dr on call and tell this to them =if you don't ,your bowel can rupture inside and all the waste will go amongst your organs =please go now
It can get serious, your body needs to rid itself of dangerous toxins. Try eating more fruits and vegetables - this is a natural way to get things moving through your system. Or if you like Rasin Bran, eat that for breakfast - the more fiber you eat the better. I wouldn't let a whole week go by without going, you need to be regular, which is different for everyone, but daily is healthy.
Yeah that is pretty bad.are you getting enough fiber?? I would suggest going to the doctor and getting a checkup. Also drink alot more water and try eating some raisin bran and 100% whole wheat bread. If you aren't drinking enough water your body won't get ready of waste as efficiently. You might be dehydrated too so get that checked out!!
that's really bad. It not good if you don't have at least 1 a day. Have it checked out cause something is wrong.
Oh yeah. If you're not feeling some serious pain around your left hip than something is definately wrong. by some laxitive or get you're non-polluting booty over to the doctor.
Ick! Eat some veggies?
Yes this is very bad. You may have an obstruction or something. Go to the doctor and get checked out before your bowel ruptures!
