Activia yogurt and Fiber cereal always help me

Dauntlessness

I have had to start taking stool softeners since I started taking more and more vitamins. Also, and I know this isnt the most popular answer but I take laxatives when I cant go for more than a day. I don't abuse them and it only happens a couple times a month. Plus, my doctor told me to.

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.

You should NEVER drink Epsom salts solution--can be dangerous (as are some of the suggestions that have been made before). It can mess with your electrolytes. (But it is quite safe to BATHE in an Epsom salts bath--might even help with the constipation, if low levels of magnesium is part of the problem.) I would avoid doing anything harsh and looking at my diet--800 calories is too low and will ultimately lower your metabolism (and that can cause constipation--big time). Also, there are acidophilus formulations that encourage bowel movements. Some strains can be constipating though so I would ask a naturopath what he/she recommends.

It isn't actually the vitamins that are the likely cause--the binders that they use in the tablets is typically the problem. Switching to liquid vitamins can help.

Yes---many people say that Activia yogurt has the correct bacterial strains to keep one regular.

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!

Best quote of day! haha

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

lol I was doing to say this! my best friend was constipated for a week and one meal from tacobell did the trick =] you should get the cantina bowl

Sugar free candies, about 3-4 will do it. The sorbitol in it is also used in laxatives, just don't have too many thinking it won't work... The first time I tried it I ate about 10 of them and seriously thought I was going to die! My fiancé lovely refers to it as "poop candy" lol

Xylitol works the same way for many people (and it appears to retard tooth decay).

psyllium from health shop or supermarket ... each day , lowers cholesterol and promotes healthy bowel....habits .

Coffee always works for me. Just 1/2 cup and wow... watch out!! ;-)~

you're trying to survive on 800 calories a day. constipation is also a symptom of anorexia nervosa.

i strongly urge you see a professional and get help to address that issue.

you're young and you have a long life ahead of you. don't let that illness give you chronic health problems and deprive you of the ability to enjoy that life.

While most of the suggestions in this thread will work for a normal, healthy, constipated person, the OP simply is starving. You can't poop if you don't eat.


The anorexic girl's legs in your ticker pic confirm that you need help that fiber and coffee won't provide.
Go see a therapist, please.

Therapists are a waist of time

So is school, or so one thinks. *waste

Sorry darling. I actually have a degree in business, just suffer from a little thing called dyslexia

How exactly does dyslexia cause you to spell waste like waist? Different letters, this isn't an issue of letter order.
Oh who cares. The point is - striving to be 100 pounds and not being able to poop are indicators of some other problems there as Robin pointed out. You need to eat.

Well hers isn't working so I figured I'd help out a little. :drinker:

I would suggest that a bowl of shreddies with milk and sugar. Looking at your picture I think your calorie intake is far too low. Your body goes into starvation mode if you have such a low calorie intake for any period of time and then goes into super storing mode when you increase it to normal levels ie 2000 cal a day. If you have a healthy life as in being active and eating regular meals with the right amount of carbs, protein and fat then you will maintain a good shape. Starving is extremely bad for a young body. In gilrs that weigh under 7 stone it can stop the menstral cycle and bone density can be seriously affected which in later life become a serious problem.

I would ask your GP if you can see a dietician and set out a menu plan that gives you all your body require but still lets you be slim and in control. I would also be aware that if you take lots of laxatives having been constipated you can get what they call 'Overflow' This appears to be diahorrea but is in fact stool made runny by the laxatives that bypasses the constipated nuggets that are stuck in your bowel. It can be extremely unpleasant and stinks! If you then take something to prevent the 'diahorrea' the stool already constipated can then cause real problems. Eating something like shreddies prevents this problem as it pulls fluid into the bowel and rehydrates the hardened stool so it can move with ease.

Good luck

PAH, sorry OP, don't mean to offend you at all but that's hilarious

I have tried everything. Upping my fiber a lot, drinking lots of water, I exercise a lot. Nothing works. However, I find if I treat myself to something ie. a small bowl of chips, a meal at a restaurant, etc. (however it has to fit into my calories intake) I can go no problem!

Jubee31

Hi OP,

I do agree with the others that say your calories and goal weight are really too low..... Go have some sort of fast food feast, have some toilet time, and please up your daily calories. Your body and bum will thank you -- maybe even a couple times a day!

Good luck :-)

gabby365

so i haven't had a poop in days.... have a really bad feeling i may be constipated, any suggestion on how i can get things moving again?

Follow MY diet... I poop 12x/day MINIMUM, three times already this morning

Otter1422

Just in for the thread title "Poop" love it, lol.

Honey, your disability ain't your dyslexia. Go see a therapist.

Orders of words are effected, but that not the only issue people who suffer from dyslexia have... who are you to judge?

*affected (when used as a verb, effects are nouns or affect can be a noun when used in psychological terms)

Low. No need to undermine me. Not nice to be a ***** to someone with a disability... pretentious tool.

More water! And cook up some canned spinach. That should give you results...

I find drinking enough water & taking magnesium daily really helps. Mind you, like others have said, eating only 800 calories a day may cause your body to hold on to every morsel. Try eating more, especially green leafy veggies.

veggieluver2

First thing when you get up in the morning

warm cup of water
1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
stevia (anything to make it a little sweet and cut the vinegar taste)

I follow that with a cup of hot coffee

Wait...................

WillowBreeze

a big bottle of water, followed by a big cup of coffee first thing in the morning... I wait to have breakfast until after if I've got the time.

I was just at my Dr yesterday and she said either Miralax until you go OR drink lots of water, eat lots of fiber, or take a fiber supplement.

Miralax did wonders for me, although if you can get it prescribed it seems to be better, the over the counter ones have some weird side effects that I had like being really itchy all over, tasteless, and you can mix it with anything, I even mixed it with soda and tea sometimes
