Hi,
It sems that you might be having absolute constipation giving this problem.
With laxative you got motion but still constipation persisted.
Take fiber containing food.
Do abdominal recti exercises daily which will stimulate peristalsis giving smoothly passing stool.
Take plenty of water.
Initially you may take light laxative daily for few days.
Ok and take care.
