What The... ?

Post Reply New Topic

I have been eating loads of fruit these last 3 days... as in, usually, 2 bananas, 2 peaches, nectarine and a can of figs a day...yet I am constipated!! Can too much fruit cause the opposite effect of what it is meant to? I thought it was meant to help with ... that.

Just start eating like you normally do and see what happens

I can't, I am on a diet, hence all the fruit. I have cut out most of my fat, I wonder if that has something to do with it.

yup. . .if your system is used to even some fat. . your uh. . .that is used to run it on out. . but if you change suddenly, it doesn't change that quickly.

I agree, have a bit of olive oil with some of your fruit and you will be running smoothly.

I drink an orange fiber drink every morning to keep me regular. Try that!

try stool softners or fiber pills. Enema works too. Do you have poop in ur anus? I use enema for that if I can't get it out.

ewwwwww!

If your still constipated, the best thing to do is drink prune juice, even though it tastes real bad. Also drink cranberry juice that also helps!

Try avoiding the bananas for a day or so...I don't know about any of the other fruits, but I know that they can cause constipation.

I shall try that. I always assumed they were good for constipation, lol.
As to prune juice...well, I have been having a can of figs a night, those are renowned for being a good laxative.

TMI! TMI!

Yeah... um... no comment
Actually, I have a story with even more TMI!

I used to heavily abuse laxatives, and soon after moving in with my ex, I stopped them... I had some issues, naturally, although I could go, but one day my ex told me that sometimes when you poop you can bleed a lot...and that made me too afraid to crap, so I held it...and held it...and every time I tried to go, I felt too afraid to push...after 10 days of not having had a poop, I ended up going to hospital for help. I was given something to shift it as it was impacted...

Was taken into a small room and put on a commode...and... MY GOD, the nurse turned GREEN and had to leave.

My ex said the stench was seeping through the gaps in the closed door.
Needless to say, I push now.

Well isn't this a classy thread.

I don't personally aim to have classy threads, I aim to be myself. Don't like it, tough.
I merely was asking advice on a perfectly human matter. So

you will find your 'class' doesn't help you much when you are constipated!

What's TMI?
