Constipated for over a week.?

Why am I always constipated? Usually I don't have many bowel movements.but I haven't had one in over a week! I feel so heavy and grossAnd my stomach is so bloatedThis has happened before and I took some laxatives, but I don't want to do it anymoreIsn't there something I can do to avoid constipation all together?I also lead a pretty healthy lifestyleThis week for example I did a TON of walking, so it shouldn't be due to lack of exerciseI also drink a lot of water (I only drink water and coffee), eat fiber (usually i have bread and yesterday i had fiber 1) and I also eat a lot of vegetablesHELP!

I would suggest a high-protein performance grainHowever, this may hype him up a little too muchLegend is a pellet grain that I feed my horsesThere's different kinds- Mare and Foal, Endurance, Performance, Pasture Mate and some other onesAnother brand I would recommend is Horse and StockI've never fed my horses this before, but a very trusted horse owner feeds theirs Horse and Stock I might also try 10% sweet feed and see if that works out My overall suggestion is to wait until you get your horse to buy grainAsk the previous owner what they fedYou could keep him on what they had him on or SLOWLY wean him onto something elseDo not change his feed quickly, as he could colic because of the change in nutrients and vitamins Good luck!

Well it really depends on the individual horseIt's hard to give feeding advice when you know squat about the horse you'll be feedingHe might have special needs that would require a specific diet, he might be a hard keeper and require quite a bit more food than what you are thinking, he might be an easy keeper and need to be kept on a very strict dietGet the horse first, ask the previous owners about what they fed him, how much, and whyThen come back for advice.

I used to have infrequent bowel movement as well, but now I had once and sometimes twice a day, ever since I started to eat wholegrain rye breads (I always look for the one with most fiber on it), green beans, and lots of waterYogurts and papaya sometimes helps tooAlso, I read somewhere that caffeinated stuff are dehydrating so you will have to drink extra water for every coffee you drinkThe supermarkets are selling fiber supplements as well, although I haven't tried it since the wholegrain breads contain lots of insoluble fiber and the beans contain a lot of soluble fiber alreadyHope this helps!

As somebody below said, each horse is differentI've met horses that stay fat on literally a tiny amount of grass and nothing more and horses that need continuously hardfed all through even Summer just to stay in a healthy weight rangeThoroughbreds are generally a higher maintenance breed when it comes to feeding due to their thin skin and fast metabolismI've owned Thoroughbreds and this is what I recommend when in full work like you sayWinter (assuming there is not much grass growth): Unlimited hay if possible to keep the horse full and warm otherwise close to a small bale a dayAs for hard feed, I only feed boiled barley and either chaff or oat husk for bulkBoiled barley is high in fat and keeps their condition well3-4 cups (BEFORE boiled) with your bulkage per dayIf you can split the feed into two (morning and night) that's even betterSummer (assuming there is a decent amount of grass) Just hayI don't even feed in SummerThey keep themselves on grassIf grass growth is minimal hardfeedJust a bit less than in Winter.
