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

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 12 points 2 years ago

Over here with my preferred snack of apple and peanut butter. Guess an apple a day DOES keep the doctor away huh?

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:

  • bean memes
  • shitposts
  • beef memes
  • memes about never pooping
  • back to start
[–] match@pawb.social 12 points 2 years ago

quick, get this poster some bean memes

[–] juladuni@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

points 2 and 4 are the same.

I just cleared hard drive of stroganoff memes so that better not come back.

You’re two thirds through the Lemmy 3 Days No Poop Challenge.

Hang in there!

[–] Interesting_Test_814@jlai.lu 6 points 2 years ago

Exactly my thought when i saw this post

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago
[–] null@slrpnk.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Depends, are you trying to poop, or doing the 3 day challenge?

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.

For the love of God eat fiber and drink water. How hard is this?

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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. 😅

I do drink a lot water and eat a lot of nuts and bananas, and apples and eggplants...

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

Drink some coffee

[–] Commiunism@lemmy.wtf 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You can hold it in for up to 2 weeks, speaking from experience here.

You'll be fine

[–] WhisperingEye@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thank you for believing in me

Why are you still holding on to last year's shit?

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Fiber and water. Find yourself a nice, vegetable soup recipe.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

You're just charging your ultimate attack.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Don't Poop January

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Try chewing gum, a few pieces a day.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Vege smoothie

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Metamucil, salad, veggies. No meat or cheese. You’ll be good by tomorrow.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago

Whatever mizu did, do the opposite.

[–] GeorgeTheFourth@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

5 mile run always does it for me.

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

3 times a day to every 3 days is normal.

When was the last time you pooped?

[–] UnearthedUnusual@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Two words: magnesium citrate.

[–] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The biggest most giant enema you can find

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

1.) Sit on a toilet

2.) Concentrate

3.) Become Forspoken protagonist https://youtu.be/1zo3jPUPbeI?si=xP_ADMTsdJlkt78e
