Suggest Causes For Medication For Constipation
Because of using laxatives and Cascara I have melanosis coli. I am trying to get schedule for a test to see why I am so constipated. Nothing works and I am so bloated it is hard to go about daily activities. What should I do and what happens to my body when I never have a bowl movement.

HI
Well come to HCM
Constipation is not disease, and this is just condition because of improper diet and less water intake, irregular schedule for defecation, these all are responsible for constipation, better to drink more water, have a fiber containing diet, have regular schedule for toilet going, no matter even if you do not want to go for it, no matter if you do not pass the stool still just go in sit there, for a while, do not apply the force, hope this helps.
