Constipation since 5 days now
I feel constipated since 5days now.. I'm able to pass stool here and there but not able to empty bowels completely. I tried all home remedies like prunes, Apple juice and yoga also.. looks like this is not getting better. I don't want to consume laxative. What should I do next?
