Have had 2 bowel movements in 2 weeks. Both were hospital induced by enemas (a very large bag of fluid suspended high - like an I.V. - then a tube inserted several inches into the rectum/colon?, not just the regular type.)
Forced to go to hospital due to diabetes and after 2-3 days of no b.m., comes nausea then vomiting. There is much noise in the belly and according to both x-rays there was no "blockage". Gas is able to pass fine, and plenty does, both farting and burping. There is no urge to defecate even though the dr. has me on prescription laxative and stool softener and I'm following a healthy, fruit & vegetable rich, and high-fiber diet. I also drink prune juice, herbal tea, spring water (as much as I can without feeling more nauseaous).
I've tried castor oil, cascara segrada, magnesium citrate, epsom salts, prunes, metamucil, prodium, suppositories, coffee enemas at home, rhubarb, jumping jacks, sit-ups, swimming, hot baths, walking - everything but harikari, basically.Help

Oh, and this is now day 4 after having been in the hospital on the weekend and not a thing has come out.
I need to know what this could be, so I can go in to my Dr. (on friday) and say "look her, I want to be tested for X and Y". I'm exhausted from all of this. I already have enough health problems to deal with, I don't need to be monkeying around with running to the hospital to poop! You know what I mean?
