What Causes Severe Constipation And Abdominal Distention?

I ve had what I considered severe constipation for several months now. If I m not taking something from the doctor for it, I can easily not have a bm for 2-4 weeks. Even when I take prescribed medicine, it barely works. My stomach is so distended I literally look like I am eight months pregnant. I ve had a cat scan and they said it just showed a lot of stool, but no blockage. I m so miserable. I don t like going in public anymore because of my large stomach.
