    If you believe you can poop, you will poop. Just believe in yourself.

    Do a salt water rinse... you drink 1 liter of warm water with 2 tablespoons of sea salt... then don't plan on going anywhere for a few hours... cleans everything right out....

    Epsom salt, NOT sea salt.

    Be prepared to be on the toilet ALL DAY. Seriously.

    I recommend Papaya Extract. You can get it in chewable tablets, located in the vitamin section.

    Depends on how quickly you want to poop

    It's not a healthy choice, but Taco Bell usually will do the trick and quickly.

    Why is your daily goal set to 650 calories??? :noway:

    I looked at your diary for the last week or so - very few veggies and fruit is nonexistent, no healthy fats (avocados, olive or coconut oils, nuts) at all. You should be eating quite a bit more and a better variety of foods, which will make your body happier all the way around, not just in the poop department.

    Prunes. Water.
    Oh, and as a new runner, I've discovered that running shakes things down.

    Unflavored Miralax to put into your drinks every night. It helps loosen everything up and makes you regular.

    BELIEVE in the poop!!!!

    You can try:

    Prunes
    Bran muffins with raisins (these always work for me lol)
    If it's really bad, a VERY mild laxative or something like mineral oil can help, but you never really want to use those too much, as your body will become dependent on them to move your bowels, but on occasion they can get things started, and then eating things to keep things moving will be more effective



    ETA: Also, eat food. 850 calories wouldn't even be enough for a small child. You probably don't have anything in you to poop out... *sigh*

    Ummm... you have a daily calorie goal of 830 calories?!?!?!??!?!?

    Try eating something, you probably dont have enough in your system to actually have a bowel movement.

    good call.

    The tea recommendation works well - Smooth Move. You can find it in the Health Food section at most grocery stores. I have used it, but a cup of Starbucks coffee works wonders for me... don't know why, but it does. Also, a good run helps as well.

    Warm prune juice laced with a little milk of mag. Also, if you are having trouble with that kind of problem, you may want to talk to your doctor. If you have some sort of bowel obstruction (symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or cramps, and bloating) using things to make you go could be dangerous.

    ah yes.

    this.

    this is probably why.

    you can't poop because you don't have anything *to* poop.

    Lots of green vegetables and water helps me. I also use colon cleansers from the health food store sometimes.

    Milk of Magnesia helped me when I was really backed up and starting to get worried. I wouldn't recommend that as a regular remedy, but it certainly worked as a 1 time fix. (Note, I was really having a hard time going despite eating a ton of fiber, plenty of good fat, and coffee every day)

    Now I take digestive enzymes daily and am so regular that I go every day at the same exact time. Its wonderful!

    Drink a jug of prune juice along with some spicy hot wings. That should clear things out quickly...

    Quickly? That would turn her behind into a fire breathing dragon!

    I don't think the word is 'breathing"

    LOL I deal with this every week..and it is so funny because it effects your numbers. My daughter is one of my friends on my site and I'm always telling her and she thinks it's gross and I'm crazy, she does not want to know about my BM history. Now I can tell her I told someone I have never met about it. Anyway what I do is take a Colace (you can get them at Costco or Walmart) daily it is just a stool softener, and I do increase my salads at night. Throw in a pear in your daily meals or snacks, it is the best fruit for constipation.

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have a simlar question. It has been over 2 weeks now... I drink lots of water all the time, coffee, I aim for around 25-30g of fiber, from salads, fruits, whatever else and a fiber supplement (metamucil). That isn't a recent switch in diet either. I'm giving up on the natural route and going for a laxative tonight. Any reccomendations for brands? I'm thinking by now I probably need something a little more hardcore than the tea already reccomended :tongue:

    All of the other words I would normally have chosen would be deemed strike-worthy...I wouldn't want to upset anyone's delicate sensibilities. :grumble:

    Seriously if it is getting to be well over 4 days without going you may be getting impacted and that is a medical problem. What we used to give in the hospital to start off first was dulcolax suppositories to see if that starts anything moving. It should work if it is going to within 30 minutes. Those are safe and just put some plastic wrap over your finger. Also I saw on Dr. Oz he was talking about a Fleet enema which you can buy in a green box at the drug store. It is probably 8 ounces or less. Also at the drug store in a green "soda bottle" is "Citrate of Magnesia". I took that once after not going for 4 days and it tasted like salty 7up. It made me feel incredibly bloated, but I went the next day a nice big normal one. Now my emergency and natural fix is psyllium husk fiber. I get it at the bins in whole food. I take 2 - 4 TBSP in the morning and in the evening when I used to be desperate. When you mix it with liquid it gets kind of slimy and gloppy so I decided to mix it with applesauce instead or juice and make it thick to resemble applesauce type concoction. Eat it quickly and then drink a big glass of water to make sure you've washed it through down to your stomach. Also I've mixed it with cocoa powder, sweetener and milk to make pretend pudding. Much better to take it in a mushy form than in a slimy liquid form. But it WORKS. It didn't cause cramping like laxative pills or smooth move tea did. My husband prefers the Two Mangoes cure: eat two mangoes. In the future make sure you get 25 - 35 grams of fiber into your diet. You can do that by adding raw and cooked veggies, and making sure your breads and cereals start the ingredients list with a whole grain not enriched flour. I used to be you from eating 4 - 9 grams of fiber in my diet when I ate horribly. Making sure all of my food had fiber now gives me 50 - 80 gms of fiber for the whole day and you'd be so jealous to see what it does for me! = D

    If its an emergency get some Senna Tablets. I take these if it is really bad. 6 hours later you will be good.

    A lot of these suggestions are pretty funny! :laugh:

    Hot coffee. Hot tea with lots of lemon juice. A natural cleanse supplement. If all else fails, a suppository laxative.

    My husband and I have being doing a psyllium fiber drink every evening for a couple of years. We prefer Costco's kirkland brand which is like Metamucil over the miralax or "smart fiber" drinks. Not only does it give you extra fiber a day, it keeps things going through, is not "addictive" and claims to reduce cholesterol. I like to take it in the evening - before supper - it also helps me feel full and I don't eat as much at the evening meal.

    We have used the teas for cleanses, too, but the psyllium give the best results for us. :bigsmile:
