This was actually tried in a scientific experiment - the record is about 6 months. This was in the early days of NASA when disposal of human waste was considered a potential problem during long space flights.
A volunteer remained in a basically lying-down position th whole time with minimal exercise and was fed only liquid food that was entirely digestible - so no waste was produced.
It took him quite a while to recover afterwards and the general opinion was that enforced constipation on long space flights wasn't a good idea.

I wouldnt go longer than 4 days. IF you dont have a "Bowel Movement" Not "Pooing" within 4 days then see a doctor. Or get an enema from the grocery store

Have never seen statistics on infrequent pooing. It can only go so long however because eventually it will come back up the other way. It is not unusual for someone with very bad long standing constipation to vomit up their own faeces so I wouldn't risk leaving it to long.

45 years ago! When I was 5 years old, that was the last "pooing" (as you call it) that I had. So I am so full of "SH*T" (as I call it) that you can't believe a stinking word I say!!!!! You have a nice day now!

About 12 hours when constipated, I guess. However, I don't usually time my poops.
