Is it normal to never poo?

You can chose to die very soon, or you can chose to try to avoid dying as soon.

In order to avoid dying soonest, seek medical help on an emergency basis.

I hope you survive.

I would literally be going to emerge rather that posting to any board - especially at the two week mark.

<,-- is a nurse ish thing... see your doc... not a diet forum...

Hey OP--Look up fecal vomiting. It's a thing. Long before you get to that point your breath will smell like *kitten* to everyone but you. Still think it's cute to "literally never go poo?"

<Go see a doctor>: right on!

<Also eat more fiber>. Really? do you have a clue whether the OP has been eating fiber? Do you think that increasing fiber will help someone pass or move 2 week old stool? Do you have any idea what may be happening in the op's bowels? Is there an obstruction? Pressure? What is the cause? Why are the bowels not propelling the stool along? Why is it lack of fiber as opposed to lack of FAT for example that may have contributed to the issue? And, again, will increasing fiber two weeks later do anything to move things from two weeks ago?

<Too much meat and cheese can cause this> Or too much fiber without enough water. Or something physical in or around the area. Or drugs that have been misused, or over-used, or, for that matter, even correctly used. So, you know, your mileage may vary, but probably it would be a good idea to ring some alarm bells and get the OP to take some physical action with someone who can competently evaluate this instead of spouting our favourite *kitten*poop based theories <-- hey at least the kittens pooped to help along your meat and cheese theory!

@texasredreb I don’t remember saying anywhere that it was cute lmaoo more embarrassing than anything but Oki..

It’s not cute, and it’s not a LMAO thing either unless you’re trolling for attention. The fact that you keep engaging here suggests that this isn’t a serious post because if it were I would hope you would heed the advice of 99% of the responders and seek medical attention ASAP. Don’t wait for the next available apppintment. Go to urgent care or the ER.

@WinoGelato I’m sick of comments like this saying it’s a trolling post just because I haven’t urgently gone to the doctors since I posted this. I have a life and job to carry on with I can’t just drop everything because a few people online tell me to. I’ve already said I’m going to book the next available appointment. And I was putting lmao because the person commented was saying I said something I didn’t so I put it sarcastically.

Yes you can. Going this long without a bowel motion could KILL you. Are your job and other commitments more important than your life?

Sorry for TMI but I’m just starting to get worried. I’ve never been one for going the toilet everyday I go once a week if I’m lucky for a number 2 but that’s only if I take laxatives. I have just been on holiday for 2 weeks and didn’t have a poo once and my stomach is rock hard and extremely swollen and sore. I’ve tried everything such as drinking more water or increasing fibre but I still never go unless I take laxatives.i also find because that I use laxatives a lot I constantly end up with hemmoroids which is extremely painful. Is this normal and what can I do to go to the toilet more to avoid a sore tummy

Go see a doctor. Also eat more fiber. Too much meat and cheese can cause this

Eat more fibre and more meat and cheese is extremely poor advice.

We are not talking about how to avoid constipation.

We are talking about a potential bowel obstruction, which can be life threatening.

OP needs to see a doctor and when the initial problem is sorted she needs to do a plan with the doctor to wean from the long term use of laxatives.

I love that now I’m going to have dozens of notifications that say “so and so mentioned you in ‘such and such poo thread”.

@WinoGelato Just so you can have another notification

@etherealanwar I’m not that worried because it has been happening for years and it has never made me sick or anything like that other than I get severe bloating and stomach cramps and a few other things but all that goes away with the laxatives. I can’t go and see a doctor straight away like everyone is suggesting because everytime I call they never have any appointments for weeks and since I work a lot it’s hard to keep having to ring back and try slip something in. I obviously will not die if it has been happening years and I’m still fine. But I will take everyone’s opinion and just book the next available appointment they offer me

Part of me thinks a troll for sure. As a GI RN I’m reading this thinking there is no way this is legit. I have seen people in conditions you don’t even want to hear about. Stop messing about thinking this is funny and get to your ER right away. This could be life theating.

OP your attitude is rather flippant and cavalier like this is a big game to you. The community on this website/app tends to take our health rather seriously; we extend our sincerity about health to our fellow community members.

That you have asked for advice about a potentially life threatening situation and then brush off our responses suggests that you are not serious. Maybe you are making it up and/or looking for attention. That you would use our time for light entertainment is rather insulting.

Good luck to you. Over and out.

GET TO DA DOCTAAAA

Whether or not you are intentionally trolling, the way you're responding to people is a common trolling behavior. It starts with posting about some medical concern or ED type situation, then responding to everyone who answers by dismissing or ignoring their concerns. So while you may not be intentionally trolling, be assured your responses are guaranteed to exasperate everyone who gave a serious answer to your question.

Also, you may not have had a serious complication yet, but the risk is very high. An acquaintance of mine had constipation that was caused by her abusing laxatives. It lead to a serious sepsis infection. She was in the hospital for several weeks, with two surgeries where they removed part of her colon. She now has to live with a colostomy bag, which was devastating to her being in her 30s.

So, you complain about taking time from work to see a doctor now, imagine what a prolonged hospital stay and lifelong disability will do to your career prospects. But, if you want to LMAO at that, too, then I'm sure you'll enjoy the results when the complications catch up to you.
