Note: If you have a history of colon problems, don't do this since you may perforate your bowel and that can be fatal. Also, if you have a history of heart block or a slow heart rate for any other reason, it's best to have the impaction corrected under medical supervision.
Go to the pharmacy and get a bottle of magnesium citrate. Also get a couple fleets mineral oil enemas (not the saline ones - the mineral oil will lubricate the rectum). Drink the mag-citrate and put in the mineral oil enema - try to retain it (I said to get a "couple" of them in case some leaks out before you are ready to have the BM - then you can use the other one). Drink plenty of water. You should have a BM within a few hours.
If you still can't pass it, go to the ER and they can manually disimpact you.
