Hi, I've been severely constipated for all of my life. I eat the same diet as my brother and he poops every day. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Usually, you would start with diet changes such as increased fiber, fruits, and veggies. Then use over-the-counter laxatives like Miralax and Dulcolax. I don't know the specifics of how bad the constipation is but if the above does not help then see a pediatric gastroenterologist for further advice.
Yes. make an appointment with your doctor for evaluation and treatment.
