Not quite constipation.
So I've had a problem my whole life with going poop. I guess I never really realized it was a problem until recently. I only poop every week and a half or so. It doesn't bother my stomach at all, but I know it can't be that healthy. When I finally do go, it takes like 20 minutes and I go very little.
I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I eat lots of fiber and I take fiber pills. I've even tried taking laxatives and nothing helps. Is it healthy and if not, what's wrong and what should I do?

NO it is not healthy. Your stool is full of toxins, and the longer it stays in you the more of it your body absorbs. The least you could end up with is bad skin. I wonder if you have that problem now. Anyway there are a whole host of problems that you could get from this. I also wonder if you have a Type A personality? Meaning you are hyper and always on the go, and find it hard to relax. I know a person who was like this and had the same problem. Her doctor told her to get up 1/2 hour earlier in the AM. eat a bowl of high fiber cereal, relax and read the paper or something ,and the urge will come naturally. It worked for her. Also I find that caffene from a cup of coffe in the AM does the trick, and it works for millions and millions of Americans every day. I have also seen this work, reall fast. warm apple cider. Maybe you should try the combination of get up early, bowl of high fiber cereal, warm apple cider, relaxe read the paper or magazine, and see what happens. Or try caffene instead of warm cider.
HOpe this help

Nope, its not healthy at all, Depending on the person, average is to go 2-3 times a day to 2-3 times a week but if you are not to go for at least a week then you can develop serious health problems.It is unhealthy to not poop. If there is a blockage preventing the poop from going out the normal route, then there is a good chance that you could experience abdominal cramping, bloating, perforation of the bowel and fecal vomiting in the near future. There is more room out than in, and poop is destined to come out eventually. The fact that you already eat a lot of fiber and drink water even take laxative is also a concern because thats all you can do to poop naturally and if its still not coming then you definitely should see a doctor to determine the cause and get you freely pooping again:)
poop is all the toxic waste that your body doesnt want or need and if your body is unable to get rid of it then it only builds up inside you body and puts pressure on all your organs and stuff. If you were older, this situation could be deathly putting you at risk of a heart attack or other serious problems. SOmetimes, I know its kind of gross, but for people who have trouble with taking a shit they put a tube up your bum and suck it out. You should really see a doctor about this because you dont want to jeapordize your health and although it may seem embarrassing Im sure theyve dealt with numerous cases like that before so dont be afraid to get yourself healthy and pooping at a good rate:):P Hope this helps.
