I've been having this problem for ages. Some blame it on the fact that I don't take veggies. Some say that I don't drink enough water.
However, I know for a fact that I am not alone in facing this problem. This is due to the fact that this is a common problem, especially among women. In Japan, they even created a special pill to overcome the problem because it is quite common for Japanese women to experience this problem.
There was once when I didn't go to the toilet (for the #2) for almost 3 weeks! I've tried everything, from eating prunes (a huge tub of it!), drinking lots of water (a huge bottle every one hour), doing some exercise, to drinking green tea. None of those methods worked. During those awful 3 weeks, my stomach felt so damn bloated and my face was full of pimples, due to all the unflushed toxins in the body. It was not a beautiful sight indeed. In the end I had to succumbed to the laxative pump that you have to pump in through the 'back door'. Urrgh.. how I hate those pumps. However, it worked!
I am currently facing the same problem again. It has been a week since I last did the # 2. I did try to force it out, only to spend almost 30 minutes on the toilet throne without discharging anything. I nearly missed my terawikh that night because I was in the toilet for so long.
I have tried my usual coffee + milk trick last night to no avail. Mom had also prepared the green tea for me the other night and still no result. I have drank gazillions litres of water and ate lots of fruits. What else must I do to flush it out of my system?!
I am desperate now. Raya is closing in and I don't want to spend another raya covered with zits. Hence, anyone with any advice/suggestions?

Binx,
I'm facing the same problem too. Now that you've mention it, it's been 3 days already.Sayur ar....rasanya la kot. U know what....it's a bit painful, but my way is susu pekat cicah roti,haha, it alwiz work (4 me).Tapi sebelum tu rasa mcm perut nak pecah la.
My point is, mesti ade satu benda ur stomach cannot bear, sebab sometimes spirulina works 4 me. Raya? Yea, I know the feeling, been there :-(
binx, try eating chocolate with Pepsi/Coke..it works for me before, tp bukanlah masa tu mkn sbb nak pi toilet for the #2 pun. Tp it never fail to make me do some "investment"..hehehe..
*aper dah..pagi2 ckp psl yak plak..muahahaha..*
Maybe u shud see a Dr?
julap, dear..julap
you've eaten everything imaginable! banana dah? papaya? how bout try to 'urut' ur tummy?
binx, klu rajin, see a doc. raya + zits = not a great combo.
u need to imagine it laa... think of it.. wills it.. wills it... hahahha.. u dont take vege.. dont drink enough water... its not major... but not being able to flush out is major...
izira:

banana - everyday after berbuka & sahur.. just bought 3 kgs of fruits at petaling street tadi after class. hopefully that'll do the trick.
