Constipation cure?
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone here has any knowledge about constipation and ways too help or cure it. I know it must be somewhat common in our community as we consume much more calories than an average person. It happened on week 4 of a test and dbol cycle (dbol 20mg/day). Wondering if maybe dbol had something to do with it? I know its a low dose. I also remember eating 5 bananas in one day so I'm pretty sure that added to my constipation. Also Im following a vertical diet approach and have eaten all of the foods before; and normally they digest fine.
I've tried:
Laxatives( sennosides, stool softener , mineral oil)
Fasting for 2 days
been about a week and a half and still backed up I scheduled an appt with Doc but I value the experience of other members on here as well, any input appreciated.

Just hit the VS today and picked up a container of psyllium husks based off everyone's recommendation here
heres to happy pooping everyone
Get some Metamucil and use a heaping tablespoon mixed in water right before bed.
Do this EVERY single night, never forget. This will help your bowel movements drastically!
StevebNo just buy the psyllium husk on it's own and avoid all the other junk in metamucil like aspartame. Plus it will cost way less.
This is what I take twice a day. Also huge fan of digestive enzymes, especially on bulk.
StevebYeah avoid unnecessary things that are in Metamucil. Fake sugars like Aspartame negatively affect your gut bacteria.
You may have CIC or IBS-C It's best to go to a GI Doc to find out. If you have either of those two conditions there are two FDA approved drugs to treat them. Linzess and Trulance.
You could also try a very high fiber diet including Physillium.
StevebI'd rather try the GAPS diet first before taking some medication the rest of my life.
Yes I agree...the meds are a last resort!
Hey, I'm a little late on this, but here is my .02. This happens to me when I go on a strict high protein diet. First of all, make sure you are drinking enough or more than enough water. Everyone has a food that makes them ....Uhm..."regular". For me it's broccoli and oatmeal. So knowing this I eat these foods for a "purpose". Every night have either streamed peas or broccoli with a meal, and before bed a bowl of oatmeal. Between these and WATER, I cannot stress the water enough, I have no issues. But if life gets hectic and I deviate, then I am reminded of why I can't let that happen.
So there's my advice on a perfect poop.
Holy shit, there is a lot of good advice in here!
4-5 chili cheese burritos from taco bell
Thanks everyone, water+less food seemed to cure it. I drank two gallons and the next morning I was regular.
StevebPsyllium husk in water, drink it and you will take a massive dump. Don't take laxative they are bad for you and Psyllium husk wont cause any harm.
I take benefiber regularly (soluble fiber), but I did buy some psyllium and it seems to be working great. Guess I needed more insoluble fiber.
StevebGreat post pictures of the results
uuummm....sometimes pictures are not required - imagination is enough.

StevebIf you ever want to get everything out of your body without using a laxative. This stuff creates oxygen in your guts expanding everything and it blows out all your waste. You got to drink a lot of water though but you feel 20lbs lighter.

I am chronically constipated for medication and laxatives are ok but they can be extremely uncomfortable if they don’t cause a movement. Mira—lax is a miracle worker if your really backed up it can take a few days but there’s no cramping or uncomfortableness with it. If problem persists just start adding it into your diet 2-3 times a week. Just mix the powder in 5-6 oz juice or Gatorade and down it or if on a diet crystal light or things like that would work fine too
I use a bottle of Magnesium Citrate saline solution. You can get at local drug store over counter. Works for me within a few hours. Best of luck I know it sucks.
Eat MacDonalds, that will make you shit your brains out.
I think the OP was looking for a non-toxic remedy.
I about spit out my coffee reading this reply. Well played, brother!
No need to squeeze after a double cheese
Large glass of water on an empty stomach immediately upon waking up.
Glycerine suppositories - instant cure!!!
Water, plenty of water
Are you taking any opiates?
He's taking steroids which dehydrates you. Your gut needs water to do its job.
I agree. I’m just making sure there aren’t other contributing factors he didn’t mention is all.
Lactulose is pretty good and just a sugar, if that doesnt work epsom salt will haha
Epsom salt 1 tablespoon in warm 4-8 ozs water. Be near a restroom within 30-45 minutes. Not joking. This will alleviate any painful backed up condition.
YES YES YES.
I second the motion, your honor!
Salt in water, and don't get impatient. Your body will expel whatever is backed up, and it will expel it violently!
Don't trust your farts if you do this approach. (Please don't ask ol' ZeusM why I'd give you this advice.)
It definitely is an act of desperation once you realize what it does. I've never heard "that didn't work"
forgot to mention I get 35 grams of fiber from my diet
With that much fiber if you’d not drinking at least a gallon of water a day can make you very constipated
