Constipation

What is your go to for relief ?
Prune Juice works well for me.

Daily store brand Metamucil equivalent.

Drink water. Mix in fiber gummies.

magnesium

or if you're really in a bind lookup Linzess.

Chubbyfarts / Constipation

------------

Subway with plenty of the lettuce if it’s the typical slimy brown type they have. It’s like a auto sear for your guts

You could do what the constipated mathematician did...work it out with a pencil.

Hendrick Medical Center uses what they call a Baptist Cocktail. A mix of milk of magnesia and warm prune juice. It will disolve a concrete turd.

Two words - wheat germ

If you don’t have a gallbladder, eat some Baked Lays chips.

If you are really really plugged up, look up a concoction called “the bomb” laxative. That’s what they gave me in the hospital when I was super plugged after surgery. The nurses had given me a lot of ‘movement’ improvers. Nothing worked. The Doc showed up and said “prepare the Bomb”. Nurses smiled and headed off to make it. Found that nickel I swallowed in 3rd grade. Heard the ‘Klink”.

Solid advice
Heard sugarless gummy bears work well to.

I would venture to say not many people in the THF are qualified to answer this question as they are mostly full of xxxx ...

Just left my fat doctor. She suggests Metamucil to keep things regular. Mostly Psyllium. Its fiber not a laxative.

Milk of Magnesia/Duca last should get the "brick" out, but Psyllium will keep it all moving.

If you have had diverticulitis, it's a true balancing act.

Dad called this Gruel. I concur.

Mix 1 cup Bobs Red Mill Wheat Bran

1 cup applesauce (cinnamon flavored helps this concoction)
1 cup prune juice

Stir that up, refrigerate it.

Have a few heaping spoons of that at night. Chase it with store brand Metamucil.

Personally never had a recurring issue but my wife had her gall bladder out and tried everything for years. She would get miserable for many days. Found a product called Gall-B Enzymes from a natural health store and she is regular again which is good for both of us.

Coffee
Magnesium
Dulcolax
Bran muffins
Cocaine

Drink a 2oz bottle of Castor oil. Give it 30 minutes to 1 hour. With good aim, you'll be chitting through the eye of a needle at 20 yards

MiraLAX works the best for me.

Chubbyfarts has got to be the greatest THF handle of all time. First person that appeared in my mind was T-Bone Turner. I love it!

My dad used to chug epsom salts solution....It didnt take long....

I take three wheat grass capsules a day - full of minerals etc. and very good for you but especially being regular - all natural and full of fiber and I have been using for a number of years now - you can find it on Amazon

Allsup's burritos.

Have two lenny and larry cookies and a cup of gas station cappuchino for breakfast. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you don’t blow it up by lunch time, have two more , with a cup of joe. At this point, you are gonna sh* your brains out it is a matter of when. So have a normal supper. Continue to drink plenty of water, your goal should be at least 8 of those 16 ounce bottles in a day.

Get ready. It will be glorious.

doxidan

LMAO!

Big ol’ plug of Copenhagen will get things moving too

Yes sir

That's what hospitals use...good enough for me.

Hard to believe this one was so far down the list.

Back in the old days, when I saw my news paper in the morning would trigger it, I would grab it and run to the bathroom. Now days the sight of my iPhone just does not do it.

I miss those days, reading my news paper and pinching off a big one…

Few Dulcolax tablets and the fireworks start in a few hours.

I heard there is a new movie called Constipation but it hasn’t come out yet.

I get stopped up if I drink alcohol. Another great reason to stop drinking. I get back to normal if I eat fruit and raw veggies. Next day, 2 strong cups of black coffee and watch out.

Thanks dogcatcher for that one......It was righteous. Busted my gut laughing but I am sure it works.

eat salad, drink fluids and get exercise

Small can of pork and beans.

Yep

Store brand osmotic solution such as polyethylene glycol (similar to green anti-freeze's chemical name) was prescribed (it's over the counter now) by my surgeon way back when I had to get constipation related malfunctions repaired.

Fiber-based drink mixes give me bad gas and terrible stomach issues so I avoid them. Eating a salad three times per week, a can of V8 (low sdium) a few times a week, and drinking more water keeps me from having to take medicine most of the time.

I can testify

Multiple cups of coffee daily help me go 30+ years without being constipated.

Haven't found a food item that works any faster or more effectively. Buy the 2 pack with Tallsup fountain drink, copius amounts of their Taco sauce and let the good times flow inside of two hours. Have copius amounts of toilet paper on ready standby.....

Fiber one breakfast bars will do it.

I love campfire stories.

This reads as good as a Tritonman's response to an idiotic google review.

That remined me of a funny Seinfeld scene. Now I don't want anyone handing me their phone.

+1 on sugar free gummies

Sorbitol will make you chit like a sick monkey.
