    Im curious tho about laxative medicine. Everytime I take 1 when im in constipation. It only takes like a hour or 2 to kick in and it realy is painful for stomach but eventually it all goes away once i finally go thats why i stopped worrying about it. Its extemly painful and annoying

    A few years ago I had blood in my poop and didn't know what it is so I didn't tell it to my mom and now I learned to this video that I will check up on a doctor if my poop has blood

    I had hirschsprung in my teens and had a colostomy and a reversal. I now use a lot of morphine and fentanyl (different condition) and it can be months before I poo and I find it affects my bladder as well. Impaction is not nice.

    I once drank blended tomato juice as an attempt at low sugar fruit, perhaps 500ml to 1000ml. It led to diarrhea. I suspected hygiene so I tried cleaning with soap, liquid bleach! and finally boiling. Same diarrhea. At that point, it finally struck me about ion balance and Potassium was drawing water into the intestines/colon.
    Nuts, Beans, Lentils, Legumes, Guava are great sources of fiber. I'm from a tropical region.
    Thank you for your informative videos!

      hey, whats yours like? i suffer from it too and it makes me so sad, mad, and scared. everyone i know goes regularly, but i cant. it's been 3 weeks since i last went, and i've been dealing with this for years now. diet changes and lifestyle changes dont work, not even laxatives most of the time. im too scared to even eat, which is not good for me since im naturally underweight, so now im losing even more. earlier i tried using liquid glycerin, but im too scared of things going inside of me so i kept screaming and crying as my mom got close, so she gave up. i've always thought im alone in this, so if you have a similar experience, i'd love to hear it

      @@misspillow3 Hi, sorry you are suffering so much. I find what helps me is drinking plenty of water. And I take Docusate capsules 2 morning and evening also Laxido several times a day if necessary. Also I eat 8-10 prunes a day if things are difficult. These all help but don't let yourself get dehydrated. Hope this helps.

      Guys.
      Water, Exercise and every meal salad (fiber/greens)
      is a non negotiable must, must, must.
      Since I started with this, my poop is normal. And I’m scared to suffer again. Specially haemorrhoids.
      Glycerin helps a lot and it’s not bad it’s better than laxatives actually, you just have to hold for as much as you can and then go to the toilet to evacuate. Good luck. PS: don’t sit on the toilet for too long!!! Better to go for a walk around your neighbourhood/park.

    What if you have a BM mostly daily but its barely a few small pieces that are dry? It's driving me crazy because it does not feel satisfying. occassionally I will have a normal BM. But it is becoming extremely stressful. I have taken foods out of my diet, etc and nothing changes this. The only solution has been laxatives which I realy do not want to take. My GI doctor just tells me to drink water, eat fiber and take miralax when I can't go. I dont like this approach! I want to fix it

    Try HALF or maybe ONE teaspoon of Epson Salts in a glass of water!! I recently spent 3 days constipated without any "movement"!! Constant stomach pain on left side!! Vomiting!!🤢
    Anyway, HALF A TEASPOON OF EPSON SALTS IN GLASS WATER WORKED FOR ME!! Three hours later, I was sitting on the toilet smiling like Tom Hanks in Green Mile! (If you know, you know!!)👍

    What if I haven’t done in a month then I go to the doctor they order a test the technician who gives the test asks how long this has been going on then says she has never seen anything like this and she is going to show me my results and yes the constipation is why I feel like I have a bladder infection as my impaction is pressing on my bladder. When I eat my heart goes nuts so I stopped eating for 18 days waiting to see gastroenterologists. The asshole says nothing about me going to the bathroom only once every month just gives me a script that doesn’t work I try the liquid that’s meant to clear you out but nothing comes out but water . I drink a whole bottle of magnesium citrate and nothing at all happens. I feel like I have to pee all the time. I go to the ER twice and they say yes we agree your diagnosis is chronic constipation with compaction have a Good day. B
