Rec | SOMETIMES I DONT POOP FOR WEEKS

😃

I’m serious. This is not a joke. I tried eating fiber and taking laxatives to help, but goddamn! I think I just tend to have very hard stool! It‘s become such a big part of my life that my husband has started to notice when I stiffen up during the weeks and he knocks his knuckles on my big, stool filled belly! It sounds like knocking on a door. Although, it does seem to help ever so slightly, it maybe mushes it all up? Also I have noticed that when this happens, I don’t fart either. Almost like there’s a big cloud blocking the sun—if you know what I mean! 😂 Please give me recommendations, Ingrid Bezzle ❤️

maybe kombucha and other probiotics? Fiber helps move things along or actually firms up your stool (depending on whether it’s soluble or insoluble) and laxatives generally help by bringing in water, which can dehydrate you. but don’t count out the role of microbes! maybe you just need a reset on the types of little guys you have making your poop lol

Suggestions for poopy probs

what has helped me immensely for any symptoms has been supplementing with a high level of probiotics + fibrous foods. kombucha, yogurt, those inner-eco coconut water shots with probiotics are a godsend. Oatmeal, chia, and the like is great oxalate rich foods like kale, beans, nuts etc actually have no effect on me but everyone is a little different, I still eat them. spice + fat + alcohol = nightmare fuel, I try to avoid this glad I’m talking about this! there’s no shame - everybody poops, sometimes it’s just way more painful

Keeping a poop diary

Impt for my girlies who were mortified by the news of colorectal cancer’s rise among millennials. Fun part: after you’re done with your hypochondriac episode, look for gastroenterologists online like you’re on a dating app.
