I've been constipated for the last 9 or 10 days. I've taken everything from stool softener to enimas. I've gone a tiny bit throughout the week, but not getting any relief. Went to er two days ago. X-rays showed that there was quite a bit of stool in my colon(left side). The doctor gave me a bottle of magnesium citrate, I did go throughout the night but still no relief, took another bottle yesterday and went a little, but no relief. Still feeling constipated today.

At 23 years of age, new onset of constipation is usually dietary, and this time of year frequently related to dehydration. If you are a woman (you didn't specify), bowel changes can occur related to your menstrual cycle as well. I am also assuming you haven't taken any constipating medication? If they did not find anything in the ER, would suggest drinking more fluid to stay hydrated, increase the fiber in your diet (5-6 servings daily) or take a fiber supplement such as Metamucil once or twice daily, and start a probiotic (good bacteria) 25-35 billion colonies (this takes 2-3 weeks to work). You can also try peppermint oil which now also comes in an easy to use gelcap call IBGard, which will relax the colon. If you are still uncomfortable, should see you doctor or gastroenterologist.
The Medical Model is Amazing for trauma and limitations of matter, however when it comes to health and wellness the same algorithms do not produce the same high outcomes.

You may need colonoscopy. Need to confirm the absence of any of striking lesions.
