24 days or 24 hours. 24 days meaning it's already serious, your abdomen will be bloated by gas. In 24 hours, it's also a problem to be solved. Bowel movement depends upon person, some passes bowel everyday others every other day, to others, once a week. It doesn't matter as long as you were able to pass it. Functional constipation means having irregular bowel may be because of temporary impairment on the movement (peristalsis) of your largeintestine making it difficult to move. Usually it is brought about by eating bulky foods, like too much meat, fruits like bananas and apples which add bulk to your feces. It is usually treated with laxatives, oral or suppository, high fiber diet, fiber supplements in sachet which you can buy in market like C-lium. Sometimes this constipation is accompanied by external hemorrhoids and pain upon defecation. If chronic (> 2 weeks of no passing of stool is already alarming. You can have a possible intestinal obstruction. This usually is accompanied by abdominal enlargement, no passing of gas and vomiting. One can see this in a plain Abdominal Xray or Ultrasound. I advised you to sough Gastroenterologist consult if this is the case.

Son, you're not telling the truth - you'd be deathly ill by now, if not dead.
