Has he shown any signs of going into brumation or partial brumation? It could be slowed metabolism if he isn't impacted. Adult beardies can go for quite a while without pooping, but if they don't poop for too long the food can actually rot in their intestines and cause an infection.

Keep giving him baths, baby food, etc and encourage him to bask. If he's showing any signs of straining, stress marks, paralysis, twitching, or bulges in his stomach, contact a vet. He should poop soon.

Try feeding him unsweetened applesauce baby prunes or baby sweet potatos --- you DO NOT want the vet to do an enema ---- too many disasters w/ that procedure --- natural laxatives are best --- he will go eventually make sure your basking temps are up to par along w/ correct UVB NO coils for UVB --- long tube fixtures T 5's and T 8's are correct in placement --- T 8's must be in the tank ---- let me know if you need more help or more info
