Default Poop stuck!

Howie will not poop normally, it is so frustrating and makes me worried. He has had constipation problems before and it cost us a lot of money at the vet. He also has very little teeth so he can't really chew kibble we have for him. The vet said that having him just eat chicken was ok as long as we add fiber solution to each meal, which we have. But he still only poops about every 2 days and will only go if we take him on a walk! This past week he has had tummy aches but they go away. Then today when he was on his walk, he tried to poop but it got stuck. This has happened before and we took him to the vet and they gave him an enema which he had a bad reaction to so I do not want to do that again.
So is this constipation problem or is his stool just too soft? HELP!
I know it has to do with his diet but his teeth limit our options, is there any like softer kibble or canned food that won't upset his sensitive stomach? Because he gets loud rumbling noises in his stomach like 3x a week so he gets upset tummy aches.
