I have not pooped in a week.

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

So I have flown overseas from the United States to Japan recently. The last time I pooped was Monday. It's been 1 week. Here's the weird thing, I don't feel the urge to poop. I don't know if that's still considered constipation. I just don't feel the NEED to poop. I tried going several times anyways and barely anything comes out. I fart normally too. I have no issues going pee, and have no issues eating. I have also been taking MiraLax and drinking coffee regularly to try to help me poop as well. Nothing seems to be working. Is it possible that my body is actually processing the food really well and actually doesn't need to poop much?
