I prefer regular foods that help with constipation, not meds.

UPDATE: I forced the shit out somehow

Try not pooping for 3 days. This tricks your body into no longer being constipated

[-] mizu6079@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

That's what got me constipated in the first place.

[-] ditherwither@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Yo, didn't notice it was the same person

This is hilarious

[-] NewWorldOverHere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

The profile picture is super memorable to me, for some reason.

[-] BloodyFable@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

WHERE'S THE EXPLANATION OF YOUR SIN.

[-] ChanchoManco@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

So I'm going to assume the no poop mission was a success.

[-] mizu6079@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

It sure was. The resulting constipation was hell though.

[-] mizu6079@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I managed to force the shit out somehow thanks everyone.

[-] rkk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I am happy for your achievement. Well done!

[-] hyveltjuven@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

So are we going to get an explanation on the 3 poopless days?

[-] mizu6079@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Sorry but I really can't 🥲

[-] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

So you gave yourself constipation in order to not poop for 3 days... can you tellbus what you were doing now?

[-] ThatGirlKylie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I’m so confused on this dudes post history. Intentionally clearing himself out and giving himself constipation but with access to toilets and an air conditioned tent??

This is either the biggest shitpost ever or some kind of evacuation fetish.

Shits crazy.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I love these posts. But Imma be pissed off if we find out mizu is Gallowboob or some fucker like that from reddit.

[-] mizu6079@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

mizu is what

[-] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Prune juice, coffee, and any spicy foods.

[-] mizu6079@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks a lot imma try them all at once

[-] Chetzemoka@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

You joke, but old school nurses do just that: mix prune juice, coffee, and milk of magnesia. They call this combo "The Bomb" lol: https://drslusher.com/constipation-remedy-or-the-bomb/

I'm more inclined to tell you that while I appreciate your commitment to a natural remedy, Miralax (polyethylene glycol powder) is the most effective remedy in my personal experience as a nurse. For what it's worth.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I'll just say that there's a reason for the old people eating prunes stereotype.

[-] stevexley@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

My wife swears by dried apricots. Make sure you are in a well ventilated, prefeably unpopulated space as you are going to produce some gas that will make your eyes water.

[-] Peruvian_Skies@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Anything with lots of fiber, especially darker leaves like kale. The less cooked, the better. But a warm enema can also help a lot in a dire situation.

[-] rarkgrames@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m utterly convinced at this point this dude is pranking us HARD. 🤣

[-] Bishma@social.fossware.space 4 points 1 year ago

The classic way I know of is a large black coffee and a bran muffin. If you can manage to get stuck in traffic about an hour after you eat, it increases the odds of it working.

[-] jugalator@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Long walks and much water. Also try eating prunes.

[-] PoodleDoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This is the way. Oatmeal or anything with high fiber will help as well.

However prunes or are really where it's at.

[-] Teriyakiboy98@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Really hot peanuts help, look up your closest Indian grocery store they usually have the nuclear stuff.

prune juice XD trust me

"It may be used as a dietary supplement to act as a laxative. " /wikipedia

[-] mizu6079@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm gonna try to find it at the store when I go out. Thanks.

[-] CorneliusChungus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Arby's. Makes Taco Bell shits weak mild in comparison.

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

You could try the mathematician's approach and work it out with a pencil!

(but yes, an enema and fibrebare the correct answers

[-] indetermin8@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Personally, I've found binge drinking to be the most fun way to clear yourself out.

After that, lots of greasy foods will grease up your insides.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for concluding the saga for us @mizu, it's been a wild ride.

Isn't available here atm

[-] smokinjoe@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Psyllium husk.

Not the most pleasant thing to mix with water, but god damn that poopy powder is incredible. It should be part of everyone's daily habit, it's so good for you.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Xylitol, one of the common substitutes for sugar in sugar-free lollies has a laxative effect, so you might be able to munch on a pack of sugar-free gummies and shotgun it out your backside.

Whether your toilet will be in a usable state afterwards is another story altogether.

Prune juice. Just be sure to clear your calendar and plan to spend the next couple of hours near a clean bathroom.

[-] JasSmith@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The advice is good but also consider going for a hard run. That usually helps me. There is a lot of data to suggest healthy digestion requires regular movement and particularly exercise.

Triscuits and guacamole. Make sure to increase your fiber intake slowly, otherwise you'll make things worse.
