Daily!! I take stool softeners and eat lots of fiber and still no luck. It's so bad that when I do go my husband and I celebrate.

A person should never go for more than three days without a bowel movement. The longer it takes, the higher the risk for a bowel obstruction. Eating a healthy, fiber filled diet, exercise (esp walking) and plenty of fluids throughout the day should help keep your bowels functioning normally.
Fiber is found in such foods as fruits & vegetables {with skins on} (fruits such as grapes, apples, plums, cherries, prunes, strawberries, raisins)--(vegetables such as corn, beans, peas, potatoes {skin on} etc. Other good sources of fiber are high fiber cereals found at the supermarket.
I know this is more than you asked for, but you have to keep your colon happy to prevent disease and obstruction. You have to do your part to make it happen.

I honestly go like twice a month. So I guess I am always constipated.

I never am, now. But as a child I always ate cheese and got so backed up - it was terrible. My Friends used to tell me I was "bound" for glory - get it!!
