Don't dump December ended bro... It's time to stop

[–] dojan@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or start, in this case.

[–] casmael@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

Good point

[–] don@lemm.ee 75 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fiber, lots of.

As a nurse, I can say this is always the answer, vegetables & fruit. The American diet is horrible for the GI system. When I went vegan some years ago I started having three a day, takes less than a minute apiece

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 12 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Over here with my preferred snack of apple and peanut butter. Guess an apple a day DOES keep the doctor away huh?

I started just mixing some psyllium husk into my usual water consumption, but that's partially to support my intermittent fasting schedule.

[–] match@pawb.social 13 points 10 months ago

[–] juladuni@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 3 points 10 months ago

I just cleared hard drive of stroganoff memes so that better not come back.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You’re two thirds through the Lemmy 3 Days No Poop Challenge.

Hang in there!

[–] Interesting_Test_814@jlai.lu 6 points 10 months ago

Exactly my thought when i saw this post

Depends, are you trying to poop, or doing the 3 day challenge?

Probably more effective than any of the suggestions so far:

Make sure you are well hydrated and do some exercise or at the very least a long or high-energy walk.

[–] BonfireOvDreams@lemmy.ml 20 points 10 months ago (3 children)

For the love of God eat fiber and drink water. How hard is this?

[–] Enfors@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Well, I haven't pooped since last year, I bet that stuff is pretty damn hard by now if you really must know. 😅

Some people have slower digestive systems than others

It's not uncommon for me to go several days without a BM, no matter how healthily or unhealthily I've been eating

I do drink a lot water and eat a lot of nuts and bananas, and apples and eggplants...

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 6 points 10 months ago

Drink some coffee

[–] Commiunism@lemmy.wtf 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You can hold it in for up to 2 weeks, speaking from experience here.

You'll be fine

[–] WhisperingEye@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Thank you for believing in me

I recommend pooping asap.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Why are you still holding on to last year's shit?

[–] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

This might only be me, but when I'm constipated, my go to is hydration and lettuce.

I'll get myself a nice big salad, and eat it super fast. The idea is that if you eat it fast, you won't chew as much. The partially unchewed lettuce can help irritate your guts into doing a bit of a clean cycle. (Plus, veggies are already great for constipation.)

Best of luck, and wishing a healthy one for you soon haha.

[–] flubba86@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's a good tip. My personal choice is celery. Celery has higher water content, and more insoluble fibre than lettuce. And you can eat it pretty quickly too.

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Fiber and water. Find yourself a nice, vegetable soup recipe.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

You're just charging your ultimate attack.

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Try chewing gum, a few pieces a day.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

BE VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS!!!! you may accidentally chew too much gum, and blow a bubble so big that you float away into the sky.

[–] Possible_EmuWrangler@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

You could also swallow it by mistake and it gets stuck for years.

Vege smoothie

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Don't Poop January

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Metamucil, salad, veggies. No meat or cheese. You’ll be good by tomorrow.

[–] GeorgeTheFourth@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OP this post is a few hours old now if still nothing, you could try a single dose of milk of magnesia to get things going but continue a high fiber diet the next few days to get everything back on track.

5 mile run always does it for me.

[–] TylerDurdenJunior@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

The seed shells from Cassia Angustifolia

Make a cup of tea from them, wait 12 to 24 hours.

Enjoy. Just don't drink it everyday for weeks.

You can find it in herbal stores i am sure.

It is prescribed by doctors at least in some European contries

[–] UnearthedUnusual@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Two words: magnesium citrate.

[–] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Two other words: Eat vegetables.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

Whatever mizu did, do the opposite.

[–] RIPandTERROR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

Push

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Do as I do and get Legionaire's disease on the 30th of December. Bonus points if that's your birthday like it is mine.

3 times a day to every 3 days is normal.

When was the last time you pooped?

[–] Marduk73@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

i literally yelled "Hey Sharon! You gotta see this" today in the washroom.

[–] FlyForABeeGuy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Fibers or a french breakfast : coffee + cigarette = poo (or in French CCC: clope, cafee, caca). Or if you realy need to, those gels you can put in your bum if you're into that

[–] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Get the flu. It'll clean you right out. The vaccine wasn't very effective this year. Ask me how I know.
