How long can you live without a bowel movement?

Constipation is defined as having less than three bowel movements per week. In a healthy system, there should be a bowel movement shortly after every meal. As for how long a person can go without a bowel movement and when this becomes life-threatening, that I do not know.Some doctors feel that a person should have at least 2 - 3 bowel movements per day, while others feel once is enough or once to twice every two days. It depends on the individuals diet (lots of fiber and 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day) should be taken.If a person is not having a bowel movement by the third or forth day it can be considered 'impacted' and you may have to go to the ER. Eight to 10 days is certainly getting serious and it's almost like a sewer system backing up because your body is not getting rid of toxins.
