The Ultimate Poop Thread
Lets talk about **** for a second.
Have you used Activia? If so, what did it do to you? I have been having some major constipation issues for the last month that I have been blaming on a inguinal hernia, but after more thought today, I started using Activia about a month ago. Just never put it together for some reason. I have read a LOT of negative stuff about it, from severe constipation like I am having, to the other end of the spectrum. It has been hell. Only way I can go is to take strong laxatives like magnesium citrate, which is limited to the weekends, for obvious reasons (can't go anywhere when you take that stuff). **** Dannon!

um sometimes **** just doesnt happen for a day or 2 or even a week. the hernia might be complicating matters, but i doubt the bifidus regularus and other cultures have messed up your system. Are you on a high fiber diet? do you get enough sleep and excercise? are you hydrated properly? this can all effect stool passage. If all the above are true and it still takes a week or more for things to happen then i would consult a physician becouse you might have blockage from an inlarged prostate or any number of things. Or you could just be chronically constipated lots of people are.

Then by most doctors, you would be considered chronically constipated.

the tone in your writing clearly relays the need for a 'movement. good thing we didnt need some furniture moved, or the jelly jar lid was stuck. i hear super-human stregth is a side effect of constipation.
on a side-note... my wife gots the **** whole clogged when she was eating the Activia a couple of years back. went to a bowl of raisin bran every morn and viola'. regular again.
do you smoke?

How is a diet relatively low in meat bad? Beef for one is TERRIBLE for constipation (since the body can't break it down effectively from lack of a certain enzyme), and pork is no friend to the digestive system and Mr. Colon either. I eat meat, just not a meatatarian like I used to be. Actually the first big clog I got over a month ago that took a week to clear was from eating a big *** 16oz prime rib. Also trying to avoid dairy as much as I can since it is also not so good for constipation.

I'm glad you bring this up.... HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET 300% DV of fiber? I mean, I know how I could, but I would be going WAAAAAY the hell over on my calories and fat intake. I'm on a "diet" right now. Even the highest fiber stuff I can find is still only a small dent in what I need daily. I think it was something like 45g required daily when I figured it up. I for sure do need more, but I already eat more fiber than probably 90% of Americans. By way of leafy greens, beans, berries, ect.

i have heard studies that say tabaco product usage can ease constipation ie dipping etc. I wouldnt go into such a nasty habit for that reason though. If all else failed i would just live with the fact that **** doesnt happen everyday. brocoli for one http://www.fiberone.com/Product/bars...6117&WT.srch=1 for another each has 35% and only 150 calls.

Guess the fact that I'm more or less a carnivore would be why I'm "chronically constipated" I think I can live with that. I don't do dairy anywhere near as much, about the only dairy I do eat is cheese on various things as I'm allergic to milk (just can't drink it, things made with milk don't bother me in the least)

Seriously, I never thought much about being irregular. Would sometimes go a week between movements. But two trips to the hospital for infections caused by diverticulitis taught me to think about taking a crap every day and to do something about it if it didn't happen. *** Doctors told me that chronic constipation is prelude to most of their hospitalizations.
