Am I constipated or having a tough time pooping?

don't try and force it out - just eat things with a lot of fiber and that will help you...

- prunes

- apple juice

- applesauce

- flax seeds

I agree with the people who are saying you're not getting enough fiber. Fiber causes the poop to become bulkier and more well-formed so it will all come out at once. If that's not the problem, then you could have IBS. Constipation usually means the poop itself is really hard and will not come out at all.

You may not be eating enough fiber of drinking enough. Drink lots of fluids daily. Take oat bran tablets from puritanspride.com They are good! Also drink prune juice and eat All Bran cereal.
