As a nurse, I can say this is always the answer, vegetables & fruit. The American diet is horrible for the GI system. When I went vegan some years ago I started having three a day, takes less than a minute apiece
This is a myth, every single thing I eat all day has a ton of fiber in it and I have never had a problem. No doctor will recommend limiting your natural fiber in any way
But oh, god, the pain. What a way to escapeTheStall.com !
I had to turn my prescription and left-overs back into the pharmacy after day 4 because the smallest opiate scripp left me in more pain than the original complaint and I had that gait that only really pregnant women or really old men have.
This might only be me, but when I'm constipated, my go to is hydration and lettuce.
I'll get myself a nice big salad, and eat it super fast. The idea is that if you eat it fast, you won't chew as much. The partially unchewed lettuce can help irritate your guts into doing a bit of a clean cycle. (Plus, veggies are already great for constipation.)
Best of luck, and wishing a healthy one for you soon haha.
That's a good tip. My personal choice is celery. Celery has higher water content, and more insoluble fibre than lettuce. And you can eat it pretty quickly too.
OP this post is a few hours old now if still nothing, you could try a single dose of milk of magnesia to get things going but continue a high fiber diet the next few days to get everything back on track.
This reminds me. Apparently, in a pinch, you can also dissolve a few teaspoons of epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in water and drink that. Would have never guessed that stuff is even safe to consume if I hadn't read "saline laxative for relief of occasional constipation" on the front of the bag I just bought.
Fibers or a french breakfast : coffee + cigarette = poo (or in French CCC: clope, cafee, caca). Or if you realy need to, those gels you can put in your bum if you're into that
I'm having the same issue. I thought I had food poisoning because I have chills, stomach cramps, and constipation. But the only culprit would be the three cups of raw broccoli I had on NYE.
Don't dump December ended bro... It's time to stop
Or start, in this case.
Good point
Fiber, lots of.

Over here with my preferred snack of apple and peanut butter. Guess an apple a day DOES keep the doctor away huh?
You but 4 a day for a week will lock you right up.
Too much fiber.

My dude I implore you to test my theory, please do
Did you read my post?
I started just mixing some psyllium husk into my usual water consumption, but that's partially to support my intermittent fasting schedule.
The Lemmy cycle:
quick, get this poster some bean memes
points 2 and 4 are the same.
You’re two thirds through the Lemmy 3 Days No Poop Challenge.
Hang in there!
Exactly my thought when i saw this post
Probably more effective than any of the suggestions so far:
Make sure you are well hydrated and do some exercise or at the very least a long or high-energy walk.
Depends, are you trying to poop, or doing the 3 day challenge?
Not long ago on Lemmy this was a goal, not a problem.
For the love of God eat fiber and drink water. How hard is this?
Some people have slower digestive systems than others
It's not uncommon for me to go several days without a BM, no matter how healthily or unhealthily I've been eating
#🥵
Well, I haven't pooped since last year, I bet that stuff is pretty damn hard by now if you really must know. 😅
Coprolite Diamonds?
That's what killed Elvis fyi
I do drink a lot water and eat a lot of nuts and bananas, and apples and eggplants...
Drink some coffee
You can hold it in for up to 2 weeks, speaking from experience here.
You'll be fine
Thank you for believing in me
What happens after those 2 weeks?

I recommend pooping asap.
Why are you still holding on to last year's shit?

Fiber and water. Find yourself a nice, vegetable soup recipe.
You're just charging your ultimate attack.
Try chewing gum, a few pieces a day.
BE VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS!!!! you may accidentally chew too much gum, and blow a bubble so big that you float away into the sky.
You could also swallow it by mistake and it gets stuck for years.
What does it do
Vege smoothie
Don't Poop January
5 mile run always does it for me.
Whatever mizu did, do the opposite.
Metamucil, salad, veggies. No meat or cheese. You’ll be good by tomorrow.

Two words: magnesium citrate.
Two other words: Eat vegetables.
The seed shells from Cassia Angustifolia
Make a cup of tea from them, wait 12 to 24 hours.
Enjoy. Just don't drink it everyday for weeks.
You can find it in herbal stores i am sure.
It is prescribed by doctors at least in some European contries
Push
Get the flu. It'll clean you right out. The vaccine wasn't very effective this year. Ask me how I know.
So far so good on vaccines this year for me.
Sample size of 1 is not very conclusive.
2 parents, 2 kids, one uncle, 4 grandparents all got it. All vaccinated. Not a large sample but larger than 1.
3 times a day to every 3 days is normal.
When was the last time you pooped?
Fibers or a french breakfast : coffee + cigarette = poo (or in French CCC: clope, cafee, caca). Or if you realy need to, those gels you can put in your bum if you're into that
i literally yelled "Hey Sharon! You gotta see this" today in the washroom.
Coffee and crunches homie
Do as I do and get Legionaire's disease on the 30th of December. Bonus points if that's your birthday like it is mine.
Happy Birthday
Thanks 😁
Bear down!
Also love the username, fellow Role Models fan?
The biggest most giant enema you can find
1.) Sit on a toilet
2.) Concentrate

Second day of the holidays > can't stop pooping
Man this period isn't good for your health...
I'm having the same issue. I thought I had food poisoning because I have chills, stomach cramps, and constipation. But the only culprit would be the three cups of raw broccoli I had on NYE.
Yeah: don't spend 18 hours drinking and taking cocaine.
That soccer team that crashed in the Andes dug it out with a stick or bone.
Posts like these bring back memories ☺️...
Just do it.
I don't really understand how this is supposed to be funny, could anyone explain?
No shit!
