How long is it safe / healthy / normal to be constipated before doing something about it? We're waiting for a delivery of Heather's Acacia product, and until it arrives, we don't know what to do about the constipation. Any advice about how long to wait until taking care of the C with other products? Any suggestions about the products that are the least aggressive but effective?

Been there, I would go for a week or so when I had no idea what to do. Ever try Ducolax Suppositories? They work for me when I'm desprate & can't go. HTH

Several docs have told me that healthy is one BM every 24-48 hours. I don't suffer from C, but I wouldn't go more than a couple days without doing something about it. Others should know more about the best products to use.
