I'm currently eating prunes daily and drinking two to three full glasses of water and a lot of fiber vitamins and I'm still pooping anywhere from three to six times a day and not being able to empty myself fully. Does anybody have any suggestions of how to change my diet because this has been going on for weeks now. I see my doctor on November 18th for my annual checkup, but any suggestions before then would be highly appreciated. :)

If you're pooping 3 to 6 times a day you're not constipated.

Constipated means you can't poop.

If you want to empty yourself fully make a mixture of Epsom salt and drink it. That will flush you right out.

I've done it twice. The first time was a bit rough, but the second time I did it ( a year later) it was nothing. Easy Peasy.

Come on I had the same problems as Road Runner when I was a child. So that cannot be the issue. I had those issues when I had a poor diet.

Okay but I think that not emptying yourself fully is considered constipation too.

Stop eating at McDonald's every day.

I don't.

Eat a ton of chocolate. It causes the runs and I feel relieved. I'm speaking from my own experience. It might not work with you.

No thanks! 😆

I don't think that's it but I got an appointment coming up in a few weeks remember?
 

Overview​

Constipation is a problem with passing stool. Constipation generally means passing fewer than three stools a week or having a difficult time passing stool.


Constipation is fairly common. A lack of dietary fiber, fluids and exercise can cause constipation. But other medical conditions or certain medicines may be the cause.



Constipation is usually treated with changes in diet and exercise or with nonprescription medicines. Constipation may require medicines, changes in medicines or other treatments prescribed by a health care professional.


Long-term constipation, also called chronic constipation, may require treating another disease or condition that can cause or worsen constipation.

Don't wait. A few weeks can make all the difference if it turns out to be something like that.
