Impacted?

My Beardie hasnt pooped in about two weeks and seems to be very stressed out. She glass surfs in her cage constantly because she wants out to poop but she only poops a tiny bit. I have been giving her daily baths and giving her olive oil but none of this seems to be working. she is on repticarpet so no sand and she eats superworms.

What are the basking temps and how are you taking them? NO stick ons? What are you using for a UVB coil or tube brand and bulb? Where in the tank is it on top of screen or inside the tank? Are you only feeding super worms? She needs salads every day -- http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder -- super worms are not a good staple feeder she needs crickets dubia roaches or silk worms for a staple feeder-- it is not uncommon for them to not poop for long periods of time but she does need a good diet -- messaging the tummy while in the bath might help you can also try giving her some unsweetened applesauce or baby prunes or baby sweet potatoe -

Basking temp is 95-100F taken with a laser thermometer. No stick ons. UVB is a coil compact fluorescent bulb (recently replaced) on top of the tank. Offer salad and fruit every day, but uninterested since adulthood. Will occasionally eat a raspberry or other red fruit. Mostly her diet is superworms 2x a week. She calms down after being out of the tank perched in a window or able to look outside.

We will try the prune, applesauce, or sweet potato.

Please get rid of this UVB is a coil compact fluorescent bulb (recently replaced) on top of the tank. Is it the 26 watt or the 13 watt? Here is some info on UVB's most on here do not recommend the coil UVB
Which UVB light should I use?
The best UVB light is a ReptiSun 10.0 fluorescent tube HO (Or Arcardia 12% in the UK). Compact or coil bulbs do not emit the proper amount of UVB light for a bearded dragon, and should not be used. Other brands, such as the Zilla Desert Series and ReptiGlo have been known to cause eye problems and other health issues with bearded dragons, and should be avoided. The reason that some UVB lights (Zilla, ReptiGlo, coils/compacts, ect.) are considered dangerous is because the wavelength of UVB that they emit is shorter and more intense than the wavelength of the "safe" lights (ReptiSun, Arcadia). UVB lights should be replaced every 6 months. The T5’s are a strong bulb and only need to be replaced once a year – the T 8 every 6 months--- where as the T 8 are not as strong—they need to be placed inside the tank the T 5 10.0 bulb approx 12-15 inches from basking spot – the T 8 approx 6-8 inches from basking spot—the cover needs to be off the bulb for full effect of the UVB rays-- here is some info on the coil 26 watt
The 26w version of the UVB150 is similar in output to a T8 tube when using a reflector. The beam isn't as wide (depending on the length of the tube) but the output strength is very similar. If it was sitting about 6-8'' above the main basking area then it was likely providing adequate UVB. It's the lower wattage (13w) versions that cause concern since they aren't strong enough to provide adequate UVB at a safe distance. To be honest w/ you I would get rid of the coil all together and replace w/a 24" fixture w/ reflector --- at this time the Reptisun Tubes are the best on the market
