Difficulty passing stools?

Just need some advice! I have not been to a doctor. I do not think I have IBS as I do not have any stomach ache, no bloating no sickness, no runny tummy,. I make sure that I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables sprinkle flax seeds on my food! I massage my stomach every night before I go to sleep. I do not go to the toilet every day and am now finding it difficult to go when I feel I have too!! If I take a Senna tablet before I go to bed, I go in the morning but it is runny and comes out quickly. I just feel I need some advice as I have no idea why I am finding it so difficult. I do and am passing wind. Any ideas please, I am 70 years old. I am not constipated. I fast walk for 20 minutes every day and do floor exercises. I am a small person! I am not on any medication. I take a magnesium tablet and a glucosamine chondroitin tablet. Thank you for any help?

Please seek help from your doctor. Any changes in bowel habits may need to be investigated. Better to be safe, than make assumptions and self medicate.
