    She needs a doctor, not your crappy shake.

    This can be serious so you really need to see your doctor and talk to them about trying warm prune juice. It seems to work pretty good for me when nothing else works as long as I can get it down, I hate prunes.

    Do you eat a lot of protein powder? I know that makes me constipated.

    True story! (first thing that came to mind) :drinker:

    But I agree with everyone else; time to talk to your doctor. Good luck to you :flowerforyou:


    Me too! I remember when I first started with C4 it caused like 2-3 bowel movements, lol!!

    Anyway, if I was that worried about pooping I'd take some probiotics (pearls) and make an appt.

    Protein powder actually makes the problem worse. Not helpful.

    Eat some serious amounts of fat in your diet for a couple days. Problem solved.

    All the fiber and water in the world won't make you regular if you're not getting enough fat in your diet. For an immediate fix, eat one really greasy chili dog or equivalent and you'll be lucky to even make the drive home before having to stop for a restroom.

    This isn't good advice. While fat does help lubricate things it can also cause Pancreatitis in large amounts, as well as gall bladder problems.

    Are you on any medications that might be causing this? At any rate: Your magnesium levels might be low. Try taking one 250 mg pill at night and see what happens. If nothing, take 500 the next night. If nothing, take 750. And so on, until you can poop. Than play with what dose makes your regular. It is a natural stool softener, and much more pleasant than drinking milk of magnesia (urg) and is good for your muscles as well. Also kills chocolate cravings, which can happen if you are low in it.

    Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Run, ASAP. If you do not poop every other day, then that's not normal. BTW, overuse of laxatives also cause constipation.

    This was me until I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Celiac made me so constipated it wasn't funny... and at times it was painful. See your doctor....

    I would definitely make an appointment with your doctor or go to a walk in clinic today. Sometimes, pain meds, other meds, and lots of protein will plug you up. Try some stool softeners with lots of fluid. Sounds like you're impacted, which isn't a good thing at all. Don't wait this long if it happens again. If you haven't gone in 3-4 days, get some help next time.

    I did not read the whole thread but I would recommend Magnesium. Start with one and if that does not work trie two and so on. This WILL work.

    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.


    Not true. You can poop as little as once a week and still be in normal range..

    Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Minimum is once every three days. Once a week is NOT normal.

    IN for the debate on how many weekly/daily/hourly/monthly/annual poops is "normal".

    omg, this is the first thing I saw this a.m. Well, the urge to LOL, but it isn't funny really I know. Apple cider vinegar can get things moving, about a tbsp, and enough water to camoflage the taste if you can't handle it;)

    sounds like you have a log-jam too:( I just read the rest of your post. I'd see a doctor if you drink all that water, and fiber too?? Why did you wait so long? nevermind:(
