Fewer than 3 times a week is constipated. Eat fiber-rich foods and limit foods that have no fiber. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/constipation/#diagnostic

I work at a hospital and typically if someone hasn't gone in 3 days, we administer a laxative of some kind. Some signs of constipation include, but are not limited to hardness of stomach, bloated, nausea, and/or stomach cramps. You can try taking a low dose of milk of magnesia or ex-lax pills. If I take more than one pill, I get sick. You can try adding more fiber to your diet and eating green leafy vegetables as well. Hope this helps.

I didn't go to the Bathroom for 6 days straight when I went to a third world country.
