this is only if you have some kind of block and your digestive system can't get rid of the waste - meaning, your not just constipated.. you literally CAN'T go. This is what I understand from it:
In most people this won't happen but if you go too long a period where you don't go to the bathroom it can make you sick.... because your body has to get rid of the buildup of toxins from your number 2, lol. ( meaning like days.. not hours or anything) and its all relative to whats normal for you.. meaning if you go every 3 days then waiting an extra few days to go shouldn't be a problem, but its probably not a good idea to do this anyways. a week is a bit long in my opinion.
and if he hasn't gone in two weeks, he needs to get to a doctor.
