    My evening has been ruined by not knowing if OP has pooped or not yet. FML.

    I think you should PM her. srs

    I'm actually considering it. How would one word such a missive?

    Hey, there...
    Saw your thread here: (link to this thread) and I was wondering if your poo-choo ever left the station.
    Hit me up if you're still alive.
    Thanks a buttload.
    (your name here)

    talk to your doctor, but in the meantime, some natural ways to get the flow going:
    milk thistle supplement (helps to eliminate fat around your liver, makes you poop
    drinking 1/4c to 1/2 cup of aloe. aloe makes the lining of the colon slippery
    drink Green "Dieter's Tea" or if you can't find that, a tea containing Senna leaf. Natural laxative.
    If you can stomach it, drink 24-36 oz of warm salted water. It goes right through you, and brings everything with it. It's gross, makes me nauseous, but it's highly effective.
    and never underestimate the power of prunes !

    Those magnesium supplements that you take for vitamins make you go. I hate it, because they help my migraines and I don't want to have to run to the restroom :D But they sound good for you :) I was taking 400mg, which may be the RDA (not sure).

    ^^^^ Sooooo much this!!!! I take 2 pills at night and one every morning, for a total of 1200mg per day. Most people I know that have tried it for constipation only take one a day, but I have a sloooowwwwww gut.:(
    And yes, make sure you've been checked out by your Dr!!

    If it's not a medical condition, it's very very likely caused by your unhealthy eating habit. Eat fruits and veggies! Eatint unhealthy reeeeeally slows down your metabolism. If it takes you 2-3 days to digest food - try to focus on eating LOTS of fruits and veggies everyday. You might have to poop twice a day (which IS healthy, though not a lot of people do it). ;)

    Pooping 3 times a month is definitely not okay. A healthy pooper goes at least 2 to 3 times a day. I would call your doctor.

    2-3 times per day???? No that doesn't seem normal either....

    YUP, true story! Ask your doc!!!

    that's what my doc told me, too!

    Considering OP posted this in November, let's all hope she's pooped by now.

    1. Could be a serious GI problem, but if you aren't sick chances are it's not.

    2. Eat Harbro sugar free gummie bears, this is no joke. People talk about these as a gag gift, or a joke to give to people but it really works as a great cleanser. I've used them and I've had plenty of friends who have used them for the same thing. I had to see a GI doctor while in Afghanistan for some liver issue, thats what they gave me as a system cleanser. It works!

    I think the gummi bears work because they have sugar alcohols as the sweetener (like a lot of diabetic candies/chocolate). And most will start to get stomach cramps/diarrhea after 20 g of sugar alcohol. I'm not sure if this is the best approach.

    "Gummy bear therapy" is referring to this...

    If you read the reviews, you'll understand.

    Two words: Magnesium Citrate

    I take this when I am having any issues....I have been having issues due to high protein intake which can block you up especially if you aren't getting tons of fiber...how much fiber are you getting each day, and is it coming from fruits and veggies or its it coming from fiber supplements...( actual greens and fruits help me go better that the fiber supplement which can sometimes make it worse.)

    Definitely see your doctor though
