“Bowel movement ”
Hello. Im having issues with my bowel movement. No matter what I eat I cannot go to the toilet for at least 3-4 days. I am on a high fiber diet and I’m drinking at least 1-2l water a day. Sometimes I’m experiencing bloating and excess gas. I don’t want to take laxatives. I used to take prebiotics but it didn’t help.

If you don't want to take laxatives, which you probably should, then you will need to take a lot more fiber in the diet (including metamucil or citrucel) and increase fruits and other natural laxatives like prunes, kiwis. I would also suggest drinking a laxative tea such as Smooth Move.
