Haven''t had a bowel movement in about 5 days?

Within the past seven months I''ve lost about 65 pounds. I have been eating a lot less than I used to. I''m mentioning these things that way someone might be able to help me out. I haven''t had a bowel movement in about 5 days, and this is the third time it has happened to me the past week. The only way I''ve been able to go is by laxative. I don''t know what is going on. Normally I will have a cup of cereal for breakfast, and then a salad for lunch, followed by some meat and vegetables for dinner. There was a week though that I did not have anything but vegetables when I was staying with my aunt because she is a vegetarian.
And it''s not that I''m constipated, it''s just that I don''t have the feeling to go, at all. I have been taking Metamucil for a fiber boost and also some Apple Cider Vinegar. Nothing''s worked well.
I used to weight about 250 and I currently weigh 180. I bike ride and do weights every day.

Why Losing Weight Fast is Bad!

Recommended Answer:
I actually need a little more info, have you been working out? Because that''s a good amount of weight loss, but with working out you could upset your body to not have a bowel movement. That or if you''ve recently changed your diet quickly and recently, that could do it. You could be used to eating more. Great progress, keep it up! But go to your doctor, if your worried. I''d suggest it, because this could be something, uh.. Not so great. My brother can''t stop going! He has a fast metabolism, and yours could be slow. If you we''re heavy at all, then lost the weight, that might have been why you were. Due to a slow metabolism and overrating.

• Maybe you need a laxative
• You probably need to improve your diet as you seem to have a constipation problem.
  
  For constipation, castor oil is very good for a one-off remedy as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22castor+oil+for+constipation%22&fr=ush-ans but it is unsuitable for regular use.
  
  For constipation, suppositories, laxatives and enemas are all totally unnecessary if you eat the right foods.
  
  All fruit and vegetables in very large amounts are laxative.
  
  You need to permanently change your diet or you are likely to get colon cancer.
  
  Constipation can make you extremely unwell and can lead to colon cancer as it causes a build up of carcinogenic toxins in the system.
  
  The intake of foods such as milk, cheese, white rice, white flour and red meat should be restricted, because they tend to contribute to constipation.
  
  Any food that has had the fiber stripped out, the nutrients processed out or slows down the digestion is a constipation culprit. Here''s a list of foods shown to cause constipation problems:
  
  •Meats, especially fatty meats, red meat and processed meats,
  
  •Dairy Products, such as cheese, ice cream and whole milk,
  
  •Fast Foods – burgers, French fries and other fried foods, pizza, etc.,
  
  •Refined grains, like white rice or any refined white flour products,
  
  •Highly starchy foods – white potatoes, corn and all refined grains,
  
  •Pastries and other high sugar products, such as cakes, cookies and pies,
  
  •Deep-fried foods, chips and other foods that are high in bad fats.
  
  You can see lots more in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22natural+ways+to+relieve+constipation%22&fr=ush-ans which tells you "Natural Ways to Relieve Constipation" and the right foods to eat.
• Increase your fiber intake. Drink plenty of water.
