Eight days of constipation, time to see a doctor?

Question

My friend has been constipated for eight days now. She tried to use Ex-lax and it did nothing. All she has been eating for weeks now is fruit and vegetables. She drinks a lot of water (between three and four litres a day). I don't know what to tell her to do, but I think it might be time to see a doctor since it's been more than a week. Should she try a different type of laxative or food?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1
