    Hi Tom,

    Have you tried any laxatives at all?

    A person can go for 10-14 days without a bowel movement, however, this is considered extreme because it can lead to other problems. Make sure you are eating plenty of fiber in your food intake.

    Are you taking any other medication that can cause constipation?

    Quite a few medications can cause constipation, especially any with codeine in them.

    Regards,

    SteV3
