Should I take a laxative?

I have been constipated for weeks now. It comes and goes, still going every other day or once a day. It isn't all coming out though. My stomach is insanely bloated and it's so uncomfortable. Was thinking maybe a laxative can clear me out completely and then once it does I can just eat healthy from there?????? Or no????

Why not just eat healthy now? Drink half a cup of water for every hour your are awake and half of what you eat should be fruits and veggies and another quarter whole or multigrains. That will also clean you out without harsh chemicals. Have a glass of prune juice instead of a glass of laxative.

Laxatives can really mess you up internally if you take too many of them.

If you have been constipated for weeks and it's that uncomfortable, then you should probably see a doctor about it.

If you go at least every other day, no big deal.
