I took a laxative a day ago and i still havent been able to pass anything.
I have lower back pain which im assuming is related.
If i can't pass anything by tomorrow i'm going to the doctor. I probably should have already went.
Any advice?

Fast food. Have you been taking Vicodin or the like for your back pain?

I haven't been taking anything for back pain, it only started two days ago and usually occurs when i walk a lot.
I have the feeling that something is stuck. Or its just to big too pass.

Is your back pain chronic, or something new? I had a horrible surfing accident 10 years ago and my lower back hurts everyday. Have you pooped yet?

The back pain is new. And I still haven't passed anything I would consider a successful movement.
The amount of food I've eaten the past 5 days and the amount I've passed just does not add up whatsoever.
I bought some magnesium citrate and was told if that doesn't work, then I need to see my doctor because something's definitely wrong.

I just took a shit for the first time in a week today (felt like Christmas) opiates clog the works, I wouldn't be going to the doctor for not popping in 3 days. Eat some fiber one cereal in the AM,drink some coffee, and take some stool softener, that will jump start the plumbing.

Magnesium citrate worked.
I drank half the bottle and I've went twice already, each time was a decent amount. But I still feel like I'm blocked up. I might drink the other half in the morning.

Totally agree with your post, also learn to love tomato soup, I sure have.
OP: I suggest taking a look at the food you consume and when you do eat be sure to chew it properly.

Have you tried fiber? Either eating fruits, or mixing some OTC fiber supplement powder in a drink (be sure to drink a lot of water throughout the day or it can make your constipation worse). Buy some prune juice, I used to drink a few glasses a day whenever I was on opiates to help me shit regularly. Beware, if your constipation isn't all that bad, it WILL give you diarrhea.
Otherwise try vodka and cigarettes, that'll flush you right out.

lots of fluids. you might not be thirsty at all but still could be dehydrated! it's easier to hydrate with a mineralized water, so adding a little celtic or hymilayan sea salt to you water would be wise. celtic has more magnesium and is usually cheaper.
coconut oil is a very good mild laxative
cascara sagrada is a mild and safe laxative. any stronger laxatives (including senna) just causes dependency. they might help you go today, but they will only leave you worse off down the road. the aloe vera gel recommended above is a good suggestion as well. get a fresh leaf and blend it with a little water rather than buying the bottled stuff is the way to go if you have a blender.

GREAT IDEA - use the coconut oil as anal lubrication in order to prevent ass bleeding...
Going to write that one down.

You can eat the jelly like substance inside of an aloe vera plant. That shit is wonderful for your intestines.

Funny Story about prune juice... I was severely constipated for about four days. Laxatives didn't help, fiber only made it worse. In desperation I bought prune juice and I was so frustrated that I drank half of the gallon in about a minute, which was way too much. There was never a moment where liquid shit didn't want to spew. That was actually a night that a girl I liked asked me to a movie. The whole night I was squeezing my cheeks together nearly shitting myself for a 5 hour stretch.

Cantaloupes, pineapples, and coffee*
Note that the non-organic cantaloupes and pineapples in my area usually have a very watery taste.
*I recommend this stuff: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17101553

if you're still having problems try a home enema kit. they help to break down all the tough shit from the other end and can often help get things moving again
short of that, plenty of magnesium citrate and water should see you right

Ive actually been thinking about flushing my system. Like doing a liver flush, kidney flush, bowel cleanse. There are so many different methods and ways to do it though, its got me confused.
I really messed somethings up internally the past year with substance abuse and now im tryjng to get ny health back in shape. My sleep schedule is messed up to which cant be helping anything I just got a gym membership so that'll help. Its just hard to get motivated when i always feel horrible.

Pick up some psyllium husks powder and blend it with some apple juice. Great bowel cleanse.

Didn't kill me, though I at the time I probably wish they would have. Some people claim to be able to eat them. Just the smell now makes me want to throw up and that was 12 years ago.

I was at the doctor today and it might be a dehydration problem. I don't get enough water so everything is basically dried up and not digesting properly; getting stuck in my intestines.

Very possible. I cast and blow glass, so I'm in front of a 2400° furnace all day. A few years ago I thought I had carbon monoxide poisoning because my breathing was fucked, flu like symptoms, and seeing dots. Couldn't poop either. Went to the er and it turns out I was severely dehydrated. Fluid in the arm is an amazing feeling though. Now I drink water at work instead of coke.

Fiber, fiber and more fiber. Water too, drink as much as you can to get the shit moving...no pun intended. My weekly kratom usage causes constipation too so I make sure I eat some sort of fibrous cereal in the morning, drink a lot of water throughout the day, and make sure i'm eating a lot of fruits and vegetables.
Eating a sandwich on this bread at lunch does wonders, 5g fiber per slice. It gives me what I like to call "productive shits" because its always soft, and very high in volume so I know I'm clearing the pipes.
GL man, constipation is the worst.

I ended up in the hospital 2 nights ago because my lower back was cramping and when I tried to walk it hurt so bad I just couldn't.
They did an x-ray and quick exam and said that they could see stool in the x-ray which mean I was just really really constipated and backed up. I couldn't believe that just being constipated could cause that much discomfort and pain in my lower back and cause my stomach to get that bloated and distended. I thought there was seriously something wrong.
They said I should be drinking at least 3 litres of water per day, and I'm drinking no where near that. Plus I drink a lot of tea, and Pepsi and such which just makes everything worse.
I'm taking some Magnesium citrate to help clear everything out and then tons of water and the right food to eat.

Lol @ the people who don't drink enough water per day. Your overall well being depends on it considering we all are 50-75% water

Yeah I kind of kicked myself in the ass for not doing so. I thought I drank enough, I just didn't know it was supposed to be at least 3 litres.
