constipation

theproblem in my family is not that the stool is too hard or big to eject but that the whole process seems blocked. They want to go to the bathroom but nothing at all happens; there is no feeling that  a stool has descended down the pipeline to be evacuated.  But there is an urgent need to evacuate, with severe discomfort. All diet suggestions have been followed without result.
Please reply if this is your problem too and you been helped

You're a bit short in your fiber intake. I suggest you chomp on more of these foods and avoid eating dairy products. You can also ask you health care provider about fiber supplements.

have you added a fiber supplement? Do you drink enough water (60oz a day)?
