As it stays there, it's only going to fester and get larger and cause problems. You will start feeling very full, then it starts hurting. In extreme cases, as Motherload said, it can come back up and you essentially shit out your mouth; it's not a pretty picture. I recommend you get to a doctor NOW. This is a very serious problem.

If you absolutely insist on trying it yourself, try an enema or a suppository, though a week old poop might have you too bunged up for that to work.

"Nobody can hold poop in the body for more than a week without developing potentially serious health problems."

I agree. But another fair statement to say is this: if you are holding in your poop for that long, it means you've already developed some serious health problems.

Laxative abuse can cause this. The slower poop moves through your system, the more it dries out. So you turn to laxatives to, and it becomes a vicious circle: the more you use laxatives, the more your body relies on them and the weaker the peristaltic muscles (the muscles that push the poop through your colon) muscles, and the weaker those muscles become, the more you find yourself relying on laxatives. Eventually your peristaltic muscles will atrophy, and then you're screwed.

dave, that sounds terrible. and why would you not poop for a week anyhow?

hi please go to the doctor get help you are risking your life by not taking care of it
poop has to come out and dont play games with it
look people can die from this and have
thanks

Jesus Christ, if it has actually festered inside your gut for that long, can you imagine the size of it?

I can't go without for more than three days before I start freaking out...I'm so regular I set my watch by bowel movements...maybe I'm a little anal....JEEZ, thats funnu, I crack me up...oh see there, I said crack, did it again...damn..I'm funnier than shit..uh oh...hehe, there I go again...ooops..."go" get it???

My apologies for thta last comment, I was being a turd....oh hell, it just doesn't stop!!!

First of all, you must have some really bad health problems right now if you haven't shit for a few weeks. See a doctor dude. It is possible you might pass out from the pain of the cramps.

Acually, I was planning to do an experiment to see how long I can hold my poop in. After what you put in, there is np point.

Oh, and I'll kill you if you don't give us a picture of it when it comes out.

My uncle jack died from not shitting for a long time; he was old and in a home. The docs said he died because he was impacted. Death by shit, a laughing matter, as long as it happens to someone else. I thought he actually wanted to die, so I guess it was a shitty suicide.

Fecal vomiting....I never heard of it but I found this:

"Fecal Vomiting is a special kind of vomiting in which fecal matter is expelled from the colon into the stomach, usually due to a blockage in the large intestine, and then subsequently forcefully expelled from the stomach up into the esophagus and out through the mouth and sometimes nasal passages. It is quite an unpleasant experience, as one might imagine, and is sometimes referred to as misere."

Good Lord....the human body is a crazy thing.

Glad to hear that three times a day can be considered normal. Knowing my girlfriend only goes a few times a week, I thought my hat tricks were unhealthy.
When I hear "fecal vomiting", I think of that South Park episode where they eat through their anuses and poop out the other hole. Does fecal vomiting comes out as a log? If so, that's a choking hazard... and I can only imagine my mom trying to explain my death by poop-suffocation.

I would expect your stomach acid would break it up, making it into shit soup or puke diarrhea--again, not a pretty picture. South Park is a really good show in my opinion, but some things that they portray are obviously fake.

_______
"Double the flush, double the fun" --The Amazing Anus

Um, Dufya, it's animation. It's like the definition of fake.

What fun would South Park be if all the things it portrayed were real?

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

You haven't shat in weeks? Damn, make sure you post a picture when it finally comes out. This thing's gonna be huge! Also, try taking a laxative.

Call me skeptical, but I think this person wasn't really having any problems taking a dump, but they were curious as to what would happen if a person didn't poop in a while.

you have to go to the doctor like today and find out whats going on please do it no one can go on weeks with out pooping food comes out for resson and you can get very sick or die get more fiber
thanks
good luck

"Double the flush, double the fun" --The Amazing Anus

Good for you, Charming. Don't let a silly thing like punctuation hinder you from getting your point across quickly, and efficiently.

Denis Leary is my hero. I have all his albums.

I've heard of people who do not poop for months at a time, maybe even 3 months. I cant understand it cant be possible can anyone tell me for sure and show me real proof that there is no way someone can go months without taking a poop, it would really help me sleep better at night thank you.

I've actually gone a week and 6 days without a poop. In '96 I had a bad car accident and ended up in hospital with a broken femur and pelvis. After the operation they started feeding me stool softeners and inserting suppositories. Nothing seemed to work. I ate a ton of dates and figs for 3 or 4 days and still nothing. At about the 13th day the supervising nurse came in my room and checked my chart. She winked at me and said "I'll fix you right up. Be right back" 5 minutes later shes back with a pint glass of the this clear liquid she called "Cleanser" I drank it down and she turned with a huge smile on her face and walked out of the room saying "when you need us be sure to ring". Well 10 or 15 minutes passed and I was sure this stuff wasn't going to work and then all of a sudden I felt this huge pressure build up in my abdomen. Seconds later the loudest most disgusting sounding wet fart escaped my buttocks and I hammered the call button. She must have been waiting in the hallway because it wasn't more that 30 seconds before she was beside my bed with the poop chair. She grappled me out of bed and threw me in the chair and before I knew it i was in the bathroom hovering over the shitter. By this time my abdomen was alive with wild gurgling and loud roars. I felt quite a bit of pressure down below so I gave a slight and tentative push and WHAMOOO! Houston we have Ejection! Man it felt like I had just shit my entire innards out. Nothing was solid. It was like my ass was puking. Just when I thought I was done another wave of liquid poop hit and it went on for what seemed an eternity. After a while I was just down to drips and weak farts and she knocked on the door and asked if I was done. I weakly reached around and flushed and she came in and went about cleaning me up before I was put back in bed satiated and satisfied.

Moral of the story. if you have a bad bout of constipation find the oldest most expierienced nurse you can find. I'm sure if you ask her nicely she'll hook you up with some "Cleanser"

the whole fecal vomit thing would be enough for anyone to go see a doctor...ive heard of talking shit, but the literal meaning is much more disturbing

Poopzilla? do you know the name of the "Cleanser" that you were given and can it be found over the conter, or do you need a scrip from a Doc?

Hey all, i too couldn't go for over a week, and went and got an x-ray and was way blocked. my docotor sent me home with an over the counter Oral Saline Laxative, by fleet. it is a 3 oz bottle of clear liquid and pharmacist said that is what he took before he got his colonostopy. Anyway, that and warmed prunes and prune juice, and citrucel are my best friends now. Don't recomend you use that saline all the time, just if it has been a week. well...

i have gone now for about 13 days without going poop, and only gone maybe once a week for the last month- constipated due to my medication. today i took a liquid saline laxitive drink about 2 hours ago... still nothing, i havent had much cramping or bloating..... so weird. my only goal for today is to poop.. its so sad. i would much rather be at the beach, this is so ridiculous :(

Okay, I was wondering. It has been the 4th day now that I have not pooped. I am wondering what is wrong, and if I should go see a doctor. I have been eating lost of fiber, and drink water lately and yet still nothing. This has never happened to me before. =[ What should I do!?

I haven't pooped in about four days but I'm lactose tolerant so I'm just going to drink some milk and that should fix me right up

I currently have not pooped at all for about 11 or 12 days. I tried laxatives, nothing. Stool softeners, high fiber diets, smooth move tea, drinking lots of water- nothing. I went to the doctor today and they took xrays of my abdomen and my intestines are entirely full of shit all the way up past my ribcage. They sent me home with the aforementioned "clear liquid" mentioned in some of the above posts which I drank a couple minutes ago. Hopefully I'll be shitting very seriously in a little bit, if I don't, I will probably have to go to the hospital and have it manually removed.

I'll update in a minute on whether it works or not

he never updated os is he still alive

i havent pooped in three weeks and its killin me,im so bloted.what will make you poop for real

jimmy try drinking some nice BIG GLASSES of ICE COLD water. I do that first thing in the morning and I am good to go, literally. Try that first before you try the hard stuff like milk of magnesia or Ex Lax. Then of course if that doesnt work there is always the DREADED apparatus (enema).

That poop must be 10 or maybe even 11 Curics

I went for 23 days without crapping once.
It was very painful, and my only goal was to take a poop.

As for the guys that can go for months, its mainly monks in and around china, was well as Asia minor specifically India;

they eat close to nothing, so not much comes out; consequently they don't have to shit for long periods of time:)

hi i havent crapped in over six weeks, i have a bad habit if keeping it in for long periods of time i need sugestions

you need to go to a doctor.

and quit holding it in for long periods of time.

i love poop.

My suggestion is don't do that anymore. Pick your nose instead, its a much better bad habit, and far more pro active.

My Name is Matt Dedo i haven't taken a poop in 1 month 1 week 2 days and i am scared.. the doctor says if i cant force one out they will have to do surgery and give me a collostamy bag. Forgive my spelling. i would like to know if there is anything that i can eat, do, sleep with, touch, read, etc. to make my butthole drop a load.

One big problem people have these days is time--not enough time to sit on the pot and let something happen. I think the value of the daily habit is not as well known as it used to be, and schedules are so tight that some people just don't set aside a period of time to poop. Regularity has to do with more than peristalsis, and regular pooping deserves its own time of day. With such a regular time, people might not get into these bad situations.

You are absolutely correct. Times have changed. I am sure Ward and June Cleaver took many a relaxing dump. Possibly together, chatting in the bathroom. Those were the days!

I love holding it for about a week, and then using about 3-4 enemas. It feels great. Or sometimes, after holding it for 3-4 days, I lube up a couple of fingers and stick them in there and break it up and then pull it out. If feels sooo good.

Awww....poop.
All ya need to do if you're a guy, 16+ is go out on a date. Go to a movie. Get the big bucket of corn. I mean the *big* bucket. Eat it all. Next, take the date out to a "Chinese restaurant". Ya know, the kind with live chickens in the back and the unisex "washroom/mopcloset". You'll know it because it won't have a door lock. The stool knows what to do. If you're a gal, just get dressed up, go to a club with real crowded bathrooms. Fuggetabout the liquids, x-rays, you don't need all that. Just take master Da Poo's advice.

I don't understand how holding poop in can feel sooo good to some yet feel so painful to others. In the past when I had to hold it in, it sucked back up so high it didn't come back for weeks. Not a good habit people. You will live to regret it. Trust me, I know. All that holding in crap that I've done all of my life has caught up with me early. Do you want to be told the only thing that can be done for you is to cut the whole large intestine out? NO? Then get on the pot and let your bowels move!

There is a saying "ignore your teeth and they will go away". This doesn't apply to poop.

i have not went poop in a few days and my stomach is starting to become bloated and full and i have been thorwing up here and there and i was wanting to know if i should be worryed and get doctors help?

When I was 16, I once went 3 weeks without going. I was diagnosed with IBS with constipation later. Not very fun at all.

i havent pooped in over 10 days and ive tried everything...laxitives, enema, the supository things...EVERYTHING! i just need to drop a shit please help =( i look like a freakin fat cow from all the crap i have just sittin in my stomach and its all just pillin up and i dont wanna have crap vomit cuz that just sounds sick HELP!

2 spoons of salt in a quart of warm water. Drink quickly first thing in the morning. You will poop!

How can you go that long without shitting? I go more than two days I feel like I'm gonna explode.

Excuse me for asking, but if someone had a fractured femur and pelvis, how could a nurse yank them off the bed and have them hover over the toilet? And if the patient was not screaming in agonizing pain, he or she had enough pain killer to certainly stop up the works.

hi im almost 15 and i havent been able to go for a little longer than a week, im begining to worry because i dont wanna experience fecal vomiting or anything like that.whenever i feel like i have to go its just gas, and whenever i try to go its just a tiny bit and only can do it like once or twice a day. please someone help me

I used to have MAJOR issues with constipation. I would literally only go once a month, and for that day I would be completely incapacitated. My Dr. just said that "everyone is different - some people don't go as often as others." What a jerk. I did my own research and completely changed my diet. I can set my watch to my BM's now.

A few things you need to ask yourself - #1. Are you drinking enough water? And I'm talking WATER, not soda, beer, etc. My rule is that we should be drinking half our weight in oz. per day. SO. If you're 120lbs, you should be drinking 60oz of water. #2. are you getting enough insoluable fiber in your diet? Look at the labels on things. Women need 25g of fiber daily, men need even more. #3 - consider taking a probiotic supplement for digestive health.

Lastly - what's your daily ritual like? Do you not have TIME to take a crap? If you don't, make time.

Since I've made these changes I no longer am challenged by constipation. Just pay attention to your body a bit more and you'll take a crap.

If you REALLY want to go, though... my recipe for a super poo cocktail flush is about 15 prunes, a GALLON of water and a cup of VERY strong coffee. WATCH OUT!

I was born with constapation problems, they once called it withholding sydrome, have anybody ever hear of it? I have been prescribed every thing on the market for constapation, senacot,Milk of Magneia, miralax is what i am currently taking, and it is only supposse to be a low term medication, but i have been taking it for years, does anybody know of any long term negative side effects of it. Nowdays, i can go weeks and weeks without having a bowel movement, sometimes, i go so long i dont even remember when the last time i did was. I feel it is causing issues inside, if i can hold my movements for that long without much pain, i dont really think about it, until it gets so bad, that i start having pain, i think i have stressed my intestines out so bad, that, that is how i can hold so much in without any problem.
I need to know if any dr. could correct any of it

Hello chick. At the risk of sounding new age. Do yoga. Hatha yoga, Bikram's yoga if you can find it. (and afford it!) Now. at the risk of sounding Nike. Just do it!

Hey all, I'm a 19yr old male, and I am just getting over an external hemorrhoid. Since the riod appeared a week ago, I had not pooped since maybe a day or two before then and when the riod appeared I didn't go because of the pain of the roid. today is day 2 since I started taking metamucil tablets, to help loosen things up. I do eat alot of cheese and I like to drink milk daily. Sometimes I have good habits and sometimes I go a few days without one. I'm not hurting but I KNOW I need to poop. What else can I do to get things moving along and as painless as possible for my still sensitive bottom? Also a question about the metamucil...Will it soften the crap already in my bowels or just the crap after the fact? Thanks.

If you can stomach it, switch to soy milk, too. The calcium is more readily resorbed into your body, and it will not stop your works up so much.

If you want Metamucil to work, you MUST DRINK LOTS OF WATER. The fiber needs water to gel, and this is what causes your bowels to move along better.

I hope you get some relief.

Same 19yr old guy here...I FINALLY pooped. Not much but its a start for the week of not being able to. Seems I probably could have, I just had to push like a mofo. I had felt like going for a few days now but when I'd get on the crapper It just felt like a blockade in my anus, and now I see why...The two big hard turd balls were a bigger than golf balls! It was quite a struggle to get em out. All puns aside when I got off the toilet and checked I was shocked to see bright red blood in the toilet along with the poop. Now like I said I had an external hemorrhoid, that had bled some when it got really painful. Anyway after I got cleaned off I wet a washrag with warm water and cleaned myself up real good(no baby wipes on hand). There was no more blood after cleanup, and I have not had any rectal bleeding since I got my roid under control 4 days ago nor do I have any history of ever bleeding from the butt. Hopefully the next bm won't be as much of a task since I've started increasing the fiber, and since I started back drinking water again alot(used to drink only water about 3yrs ago). My main question now is should I visit a docter about the blood with my crap, or should I only worry if it becomes a common thing? Sorry but just one more question...I love my cheese and milk but it appears they are helping to stop me up, so what can I do to help counter the cheese intake? Thanks all, and thank you daphne for a quick response to my other comment. Peace Out.

Well, I'm glad that you broke the damn, but ouch!!!

You and I share a love - we both love cheese. If I ever feel like I might eat myself into a blocked tunnel, though, I eat my cheese with Triscuits (or the WalMart generic "double cross") crackers. It's impossible to eat cheese on these things and not poop.

Also, I like jalapeno peppers. If you like them, too, the pickled slices on the cheese are a great mover and shaker.

Good for you for upping the water intake. One of the body's biggest advocates is water. It helps you flush dead and useless body material like old blood cells, to aid in your liver and kidney's plight to keep you toxin-free. Sure, water helps you poop, but all in all, it's important in many ways.

As to your butt, keep on drinking water and have oatmeal for breakfast the next week while avoiding orange juice and acidy-spicy foods; and if your butt is still bleeding/sore, see your doctor.

With your butt, the old addage that prevention is the best cure reigns supreme. Drink that water, have your fiber, don't strain, and don't be afraid to indulge in a daily coffee or caffeine aid if needed to get the plumbing fit.

Listen, if you really can't stop the cow's milk, then maybe you should balance the scales. Try one glass of diluted Metamucil for every glass of milk? Look at it this way... if your bowels adjust to this, you can write a poopreport of how it affected you and send it to dave. (dave@poopreport.com).

P.S. I just realized you're way young enough to be my son. Dude, I'm so freaking old.

im take prescription drugs and have hemmorhoids on my butthole and am constipated i tried stool softener and it works but it is slowly not working anymore i havent pooped in 10 days because it hurts my roids to squeeze what should i do

Hello all,

I cannot stress enough the importance of taking an ENEMA (yes, enema!) if you have gone more than a few days without a poop. Really, you shouldn't wait more than a couple days.

Yes, I know people think of enemas as "embarrassing", and perhaps even old fashioned. I myself prefer to use the dreaded enema "bag", as opposed to the small disposable Fleet enemas I suspect that those who have said an enema didnt't work had used.

EVERYONE should have an enema bag, young or old, and not be embarrassed to have one or use it when it's needed. I have used mine many times over the years... It's not unpleasant or painful, if you are at least sort of used to them. If you've never had an enema, you should try it before you do get bound up... So you will at least be prepared. (If you are otherwise healthy it shouldn't hurt you taking an enema without being constipated. In fact, most likely you will be surprised at how much you had to "go", when you didn't think that you needed to go!)

I actually enjoy taking my enemas. My enema bag hangs on the bathroom door on a clothes hanger and I'm not embarrassed to have it out. Yes, I've even been asked about it. Hey, everyone poops... Owning (and using) an enema bag shouldn't be any more embarrassing than owning & using a toilet!

I have had a problem all my life, I'm 18 now and its only just stopped. I have gone 2 months without a bowel movement before, and I had to go to casualty, I don't know how I managed to do it but lets just say I was in a very bad way!

I haven't poo'd in 4 days and i don't feel like i need to... though at times i can feel it poking out a little, i go to the toilet and push but nothing happens. im scared, and im going partying this weekend... maybe that will do it... a whole lot of alcohol

I havent had a poop in over 2 weeks and ive just started getting little stinging pains on the right side of my belly,now i dont feel really bloated nor full,i dont know what is wrong but i just want to stick my fingers up my butthole and pull out the shit,i jus came back from holiday and over their i was shitting every single day and it was like runny shit aswell,back in england i cant shit at all,i want the runny shit to come back and haunt me forever because i want to shit and i want shit now,it feels like theirs a massive ball of hard dry poo blocking and when i try to squeeze it out it feels like something is going to pop inside of me and my stomach just blows up and i cant feel the shit move or anything!! i just want poo out now or ill leave it and LET IT KILL ME BECAUSE I CANT BE FUCKING ARSED WITH THIS SHIT ANYMORE

Ac, your problem is that England is so full of shit, there isn't any room for yours. Take a train over to France. They're full of shit too, but will probably make room for yours.

HELP ME!
I haven't gone for ages! about 2 to 3 weeks!!
The pain is killing me. I can feel it blocking up inside of me and I may start to experience encopresis soon. What changes in diet or things that i could do myself do you suggest? PLEASE HELP!

AC, at your point I would suggest ingesting some small explosive charges.

On a more serious note, try a colonic or something.

_______
I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!

I agree with prarie dog and pooptroop. Anon Cowa who asks for help, go to the drug store and buy a red rubber enema/douche bag. Put 32oz of warm water in it. Put some k-y on the tip of the tubing. insert it in your ass in the direction toward your navel. Oh, before you do that, hang the bag on something so that its not too high and not too low for the gravity. Now, back to the enema. You need to be lying on your left side on a towel. Keep your hand on the clamp so when you get a cramp, you can clamp until the cramp passes. You have to hold the water in until you get a strong urge to poop. Its ok if you start going before you get all the water in. Don't put more the 32 oz. of water in the bag. If you still don't go, call 911. Since you are so backed up, it might not take much water to get you started. You need to see a doctor if you keep having constipation this bad. Drink plenty of water every day. Eat mostly fruits and veggies and grains and less meat dairy and fat and sugar. Avoid the white food brown food and junk food. Exercise. Make the time to poop. When you feel the first urge to poop, GO POOP. Don't hold it in for any longer than it takes to get to the nearest toilet. Holding it in makes it suck back up. Then it doesn't try to come back down for another week or longer. Take care of it now! And don't let it get this bad again. Try a stool softener by mouth every day until you get used to a healthy diet that promotes regular poops.. Also there are laxatives that will blow the shit out of you like an explosive. Yep. You need help.

I haven't pooped in 4 days I don't feel like I even need to but I have been eating regualery and I usually poop at least once a day but I have a cysts on my ovaries and it makes it hard to push plus I take vicodens for the cysts and it makes me constipated I tried laxetives but I don't know how bad it is to not poop for that long

i havent had a BM in about 12 days or something. i lost count. ive been having cramps and gas. everytime i feel like i have to go im too scared too. i tried once about 3 or 4 days ago and it hurt alot, i managed to get like a piece out. im so bloated and i need help. i hate the feeling of having so much shit inside me. ughhhhh

SO- I have a shitty issue....I've never had problems with hitting up the bathroom before, and for the most part im pretty regular...But tonight when I sat upon the thrown I tried to poo and it just kinda got stuck there - in limbo - Im willing to bet my poop is the size of freakin basketball, at least thats what it felt like was coming out of my asshole!-- I sat there for like half an hour trying in desperation to get the poop out, but to no avail....I decided to have my asshole eat the poop back up (which was totally unpleasent) and then I immediatly started looking for stool softeners in the bathroom closet. I think If I would have pushed that thing out I would have had to name it and freakin raise it- It would been so big!...Now im scared to try to go to the bathroom agian- I dont want to blow my asshole out...Any suggestions? My best buddy Sam (master of doody) says to drink tons of water and milk and eat cantaloupe...BUT, my worry is that football size doody will end up ripping my asshole from limb to limb!!- what should I do?

I cant hold in a shit for more than a day lol

Momo: Have you tried suppositories? Sometimes something as simple as a sliver of soap can stimulate you to poop. The sliver needs to be thin, 1/2" or less, and maybe an inch long. Just get it wet (preferably with warm water) and it should insert easily. If you have doubts about this, ask your doctor or an experienced nurse. Don't just take my word for it.

It's been one week now and I havnt taken a crap. Weird thing is, I don't hvae to. I normally take a crap every other day. Finally I just thought to myself "hey, when was the last time I crapped? Is this bad? Im not comstipated either. I don't feel full or bloated at all. Whats wrong with me?

hey i have been constipated really really bad for the past 2 months because of my medication i started. i havn't gone poop in about 9 days. is there anyway i can use something to break the stool up or liquify or anything to make it passable? its so damn big i cant get it out. the last time i went i strained myself so bad i broke blood vessels all over my face neck and chest, and was told that women get that when they give birth. im sick of giving birth to a piece of shit every 10 days so is there anything i can do to make it easy to pass? i have been told to use an enema, but i dont know if it will do anything to the poop. i have used stool softeners, supositories, and laxatives with no success. please help!!

I haven't pooped in 6 days....
I just drank some metamucil today....
(I'm hoping it works.)
ehh, I feel like pooping I'm just having trouble pushing it out. ;\
it sucks. and my stomach hurts really bad I couldn't sleep last night. I can't stop crying cause of the pain.
any suggestions?
thanks.

Yes, you poor thing. Lots of water, a strong cup of coffee, and cigarette. Especially if you don't smoke. At your stage, it would work wonders.

oww i'm really constipated right now it's my first poop in a week and 10 minutes ago i tried pooping and it came out about halfway but now its stuck sticking out of my buttcheeks and i can't move it anymore it reaaallly hurts and it's really wide it looks like a fat stubby tail should i try to pull it out?? i'm 15 years old.

I hope you're still not on the toilet waiting for an answer.

15yog. If this post is true, (I doubt it) the one word answer is "water." If it is fake, the answer is Hoover, shopvac, towchain, chainsaw, dynamite, salmonella, tugboat, and for the truly sick, Starbucks.

So Squat, by Starbucks I assume you mean taking that stupid little paper sleeve from around the cup, slipping it over the "fat stubby tail" and giving it a good yank?

After Googling "haven't pooped in 3 days", and now it will be 4, I found this place and whether it helped or not is incidental. I have had the best laugh in weeks. Prarie Doggin had me in stitches.
It all started on Tuesday when I had diarrhea all day. It cleaned me out. Now it is Saturday and I have been eating 3 meals a day since then. It kind of bothers me that I have all of this food in me and no urge to expel it. I went from 110 lbs to 113, so I imagine that translates to gaining one pound of shit per day. Good times.
I used to smoke now and then and each time it gave me the immediate urge to evacuate, so I tried not to smoke while driving. Anyhow, I felt my health would suffer so gave it up completely. I don't use laxatives, but tomorrow I am going to bum a cigarette for my bum. If that doesn't work, well, I am really up shit's creek without an asshole. Sure, I'll think about that enema deal mentioned over and over again here, but if that DOESN'T work, I'll be dragging my embarrassed ass into the doctors office with a story about Internet websites and bursting intestines. Whatever happens, thanks for the laughs. It made it all worthwhile...if I survive.

Hi. It's good to see that a lot of you (or most of you) can relate to me in SOME fashion. I'm a fourteen yr. Old girl an I haven't "gone" in over two and a half months. I do this regurally, no one knows anything about any of this. I have extreme pain and it hurts to walk. I'm used to this, so it's really no big deal. I poop about 7 times a year. I know. Sounds absolutley CRAZY!!! Even to me!!! But I can't help it! I've been doing this since I was two years old, my parents had to shove things up my butt to make me poop. I can't go more than 10 minutes without the urge to go or a bowel movement, but I'm so scared that I can't do it!! And this is just the LEAST of my problems- I'm in the International bachelaureate program at my school so I'm constantly sitting under a PILE of homework. I just can't make any TIME!!! What should I do??

take your homework with you to bathroom, silly.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Try this. It will clear things out, and keep you awake to finish that PILE of homework.

I would try a liter bottle of warm, distilled water into which you've stirred 2 tablespoons of sea salt (important it's real sea salt), Anonymous. I can almost guarantee that you'll poop.

Drink more water, eat more fruit, and don't forget to relax every now and again. Everything will be OK.

I don't know how true it is but it sounds like she had given you a glass of water with a few drops of Visine in with it will make a person poop quick like that. I wouldn't recommend it though. It is just hear say. I have heard from a doctor that if your dog or cat is constipated that you can put a drop of mild dish-washing liquid in it and it will also clean them out quick. My dog has not been constipated since that visit at the doctors office for me to give it a shot. I told him that I didn't have a fenced in yard so he told me that I might want to get something that I can tie them up in the backyard with cause once they start, they pretty much don't stop till their whole system is cleaned out. Can be one heck of a mess if they start in the house cause they will have no control over it. More or less saying, HOLD ON LUCY!!!

I have the answer for those who need to poop: McDonald's!

Taco Bell is better...

You think you have prpblems. I go only 1-2 times a month for pretty much my whole life. I am 26 years old. I was suppose to have a colonoscopy but they cancelled it cuz I have heart problems and the risk of the test was too great. So maybe one day I will find out what causes this. Good luck!

Shouldn't I be wishing you luck, Lori? Hopefully, your problems get solved :D

I had my last bm on Friday morning, it is now Wednesday and still nothing. I usually go daily and I'm worried. I have been in contact with the doctor and he isn't worried yet. I suffered a brain injury on Saturday and was in the hospital for 3 days (the first 2 I was on a liquid diet in case I needed surgery). I've been drinking tea with senna trying to get things moving along. My biggest concern is that I've only passed gas twice since I got home from the hospital, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I should really fart more than that.

Did you receive morphine or any other opiate-based sedative? It makes you constipated.

If not, I still would not be worried just yet. Your colonic rhythm has suffered from the lack of fibre that your liquid diet contained. I'd avoid the senna if I were you as it'll just irritate your bowel. Eat fruit, veg, fibre and drink lots and lots of water. You'll crap soon enough, and when you do, be prepared for it to be a right bastard to part with. Not quite the kind of turd that killed Elvis, but one that'll certainly make your eyes water.

Hello there people

I have had constipation problems all my life,but recently I just haven´t been able to poo,in about 10 days,and I am really worried,can be life dangerous.And I know some people find it funny,but just cause they don´t suffer from it.
My proble I feel full,I feel pain but no matter how I try I just can´t do it;I tried enemas,laxatives,stool softeners,nothing worked,damn.
Today I´m hopefully visiting a good doctor,and we will see,Hope you all get better anyway.

I kept wondering how long a person can go without pooping before they die certain that I was almost there. It's been days and I'm sooo uncomfortable. I'm so bloated and distended I'm horrified. Laxatives and metamucil, and water and n o t h i n g. Cigarettes sound like good medicine at this point. Along with the stories which are true and false, I've gotten some good advice, and a lot of laughs.

I have a question. I have had this problem for years. I feel bloated, constipated, in constant pain, blood in stools, can go to bathroom. I have seen many doctor's and have been tested, but so far all tests come out negative. They do not want to give me pain killers or drugs to take this pain away (or at least a little). I am very scared and would like to have some insight about my condition. I hope you can help me!

i have not pooped in 7 days,im being serious,i have been taking laxatives all day and still nothing,but i can feel it at the end of my butthole wanting to come out,when i try ll i do is blow out huge farts,its really pissing me off and my gut is kinda cramped and i feel full,this is a stupid problem to have!what do i do?please no doctor,i cant get in for days,I NEED THE POOP OUT NOW!!

Maybe an enema? If the laxatives aren't working, maybe you should stop using them...

well,little did i know that the pooping would start and i mean BIG TIME!!!!!!i did not read the part of the laxative box that said "for overnight relief" meaning it was gonna take about 12 hours or so,well i ate about 7 of them in 6 hours,bout the time i went to bed the fun started,i got woken up all nite to poop, i damn near filled up the bowl twice,it went on and on untill the next day,then it turned into massive diareahh that just shot out of my ass like a rocket,my gut growling and moaning,water and poop splashin all over my buttocks from the "rocket poop",in all i pooped 12 times and lost 11 pounds before i finally had to buy some immodium ad to stop the poop fest,WOW i never knew how much poop a person can hold,i thought i was pooping out my intestines,butthole is still burning.....finally "poop fest" is over,now i gotta clean my butt and backside along with the toilet,i might need a new one!!!!!!

have you tried gun powder and vindaloo? Also known as dynashite. Hurry up and go to the doctors before you spontaniously combust! do you look flushed? have you tried shitosuction?

i found this site, because i was having a problem. but have ended up laughing my ass off harder than when that commercial "i see ur flatulent in 3 languages. your son rip, is on line toot! ...got gas?"....lmfao!!

on a more serious note... u really 'can' DIE from this!! my fiance thought he had a virus, and stayed in bed for about 2 weeks. being as he was a quadraplegic, it wasnt easy for him to get in and out of the bathroom, anyways. then, his nurse came in to empty is urine bag, and said it smelled just like shit. (poop). but did nothing else, and we figured since she was the nurse, there was nothing to worry about. then when his intestines burst, and he was septic, he was life flighted into the texas medical center. they tried to operate on him, but just couldnt get into all of the perforations. he was on dialysis, and they left his stomache open, with a clear bandage on it so that they could actually see inside of him. he was on a ventilator, so he also had a tracheotomy. couldnt talk. (unless they hooked him up to his voice box). his blood pressure hovered around 60/42. and for the last 3 months of his life, he didnt get to eat or drink ANYTHING AT ALL, for fear that it would leak out of the holes in the intestines, and make matters even WORSE!! ..if u can imagine that!
so yes...make sure u stay as regular as possible. and if that doesnt happen w stool softeners, and laxitives, for the love of god...and ur loved ones...GO SEE A DOCTOR!!

The most horrible experience I ever had was last year. I was gone for a month visiting close friends in Florida. I had been down there more then two weeks and still hadn't pooped. I was getting a little uncomfortable, but it really got horrible when I got "female cramps," if you know what I mean. This on top of constipation was horrid. I thought I was going to die. After my "visitor left" things were really bad. Every time I went to the bathroom, I had brown stripes in my underwear. I'll deal with it when I get home.

One day I went out shopping with the two of the friends I was visiting, and we were in a store when...yep, a very strong call of nature. But no way in hell was I going to go to the bathroom at the store. I sucked it up and we went home and ate lunch. My friends were going to go out shopping again, but they had known that I wasn't feeling good. (I told them about my period, but not the constipation). So I stayed at the house alone while they went out.

As if on cue, right after they left, I went straight to the bathroom. I decided to push as hard as I could to to get this out of me. It might be my only chance to do this in privacy. I pushed, and I could feel it coming down more, and the next thing I knew, dynamite went off. Thank God I was alone. The poop really hurt coming out, and was rock hard. I came out of the bathroom just in time too, because my friends came back in the house.

teen_girl.....I think if you hadn't shit for two weeks you were very foolish to not answer the call of nature in the store.

I FREQUENTLY go weeks with out pooping due to health problems/meds....it's a shitty way to live I tell you. for instance I was up all night last night peeing out my butt after drinking a bottle of magnesium citrate to clear the pipes. I hate taking it, but overnight i've literally lost 5 lbs, all in poop weight. I will admit to fecal vomiting previously and to fart breath frequently. it's awful. i'd kill to go on prescription meds to help, but the cost for them is mind boggling, while a bottle of mag citrate is $2.00. sometimes...i PRAY for poop. *sighs* I wouldn't wish this on anyone....well....maybe my sister in law...she has the nerve to expect sympathy out of me when she's only 4 days off can. pppfffftttt....try 4 weeks ya pansy!

smiddenkidden......I am really curious about you life style and, most importantly, your eating habits. A diet rich in fiber and washed down with plenty of water can do wonders for the bowels.

When I was young, I used to hold poop. One night I woke in so much pain I went to the hospital. My stomach hurt so much that I won't ever forget. The docters took my X-rays and it turns out poop showed up on it. There was so much backed up into my body it went to the diaphram. I had to eat Rasin Bran and do supositories everyday for a month. I really hated all of this.

I have been pooping pencil thin poop. My KUB reveals my whole colon is backed up. I'm having to take mg citrate 2 bottles every night for 14 days. Amitiza 24mcg 3X/day and miralax 4X/day as well. It is about time to start drinking mgcit again. I thought my gut was about to burst from all the poop, last night.

Chief, I have been given that advice so often. I have never tolerated that much fiber. My belly would only get huge from distention and crampy without a satisfying BM to go with it. I would get sick with hot sweats cold chills, cramping and nausea and vomiting just from eating half of a muffin rich in whole grain of some sort. That was 28 yrs ago. These days, the closest I have gotten to a bran muffin is the Bran Lover!

SP... From your descriptions of yourself... Find a naturopathic physian. One that graduated from Bastyr I would bet you will find help, health, and hope.

Squat, I went to a naturopathic MD 6 yrs ago. She asked me why i came to her if i can't take vitamins and minerals. Thats pretty much all they do is prescribe vitamin infusions etc. Thanks, though, Squat.

i've had problems going to the washroom my entire life and i normally hold it in for 14 days before i even go. i know its not good but i can't help it. i'm having that problem right now and it really hurts when i try to go. sometimes its easy and sometimes i get bad pain when i try to go, like a burning sensation. i seriously don't know what to do. i get constipation on a regular basis.

I have been constipated for almost all my life. It seems like even when I do eat right, drink water, and exercise, it makes little to no difference for my bowel movements. On average, I have one bowel movement every 5-8 days; sometimes I go without "pooping" for over two weeks. I've never used an enema nor any drug for this in my life, but I'm tired of living this way, and tomorrow I'm seeing my doctor. I'm hoping there's a way to regulate my movements... at this point, I'd do almost anything to be normal. I just can't go through with the pain any longer.

Good luck to you all.

blockedup, do let us know what your doctor tells you. I know what you mean about not taking the pain ant longer. I waited too long to get serious about my constipation...and well...it's too late for me.

So... I've always had pooping issues, and it's never been a huge problem until now. I haven't been able to go in 12 days. I went on vacation to florida to visit some friends, and I was fine there, didn't poop but I felt fine, then I got home and about 2 days after I got here, I started getting horrible cramps and I want to go so badly, but I'm scared. And it's so embarrassing writing anything on this site. I'm scared that I'm gonna like rip my butthole or something. Any specific things I can like go buy at walmart or something thats not prescription that will help quick? It hurts so bad. I wanna just get this overwith. >.

ac, YOU CAN GET A COUPLE OF FLEETS ENEMAS. They work fast. Follow the instructions on the box.

Yeah my BMs are usuall something like every other day. And I've had problems goig for the past few days. I can go but it's quite difficult and I can't go much at one time. I'm takig antibiotics right now does this have anything to do with that?
What can make this a bit easier not looking for any mehods such as laxatives or enemas for something so mild.

Shittykitty, try a stool sftener called docusate sodium 100mg. 1 2X/day. It is generic for Colace.

Hi, I‘m Lisa, 18 y/o female, 5'4", blonde hair and blue eyes. I'm pretty athletic.

I was in school and suddenly i got the urge to go for #2. i hadn't pooped in the last week, so i i felt really full and the need to take a dump, I tried to hold it, but the urge got so bad. The bathrooms at my school are gross as hell, but I knew I couldn't hold it any longer, it was hurting so much that I had to go. So I went to the library's toilet because it is always much cleaner and less traffic than other girl's room in school. There were two stalls. One girl was washing her hands but she went away soon. I went the far stall next to the wall and closed the door. There were no locks on the doors, but i had to go. Then I take few sheets of toilet paper and wiped seat, ripped my jeans and boxers down and sat.

At first i did a wee, and then I start to poop. I pushed a litte bit, and let out a couple farts and then I started to strain as hard as I could to get it moving, my back passage was not wide enough. I close my eyes and pushed very hard, it hurt every time I pushed cause my hole was trying to stretch more, the pain felt like I was going to have a baby. Finally, after about ten minutes it started moving very slowly with me still pushing very forcefully, and trickles of pee coming out every time I pushed. It was very painful and another five minutes it finally landed with a loud splash in the water.

I felt more in me, but I held it in . I went home, and spent half an hour on the toilet pushing out a monstrous load.

ok, so now im worried... last week was my last bowel movement, and that one was a week long event cuz it got stuck kinda at the hole. it was just too hard :/ its been a week since then and now its not even at the hole, but i feel like i have to go so bad, im getting sharp pains in my side and i feel pressure like i would normally have when i need to go. i just cant do it, i try and nothing happens, i dont feel it move in my tummy or anything. im so worried because i dont have health insurance so i'd have to go to the ER just to see a doctor. i take 80mg oxycontin and i know it consipates you but i havent had a problem untill the past month. i've been taking stool softeners every day since it started and even drank a whole bottle of colate laxative with no success. i guess it takes not being able to poop to bring a grown man to his knees in tears...

how about trying to do enema? I'm sure yall know about it... you stick a small tube in your anus and that tube is connected to this sack that's filled with water.... it loosens stools and helps clean out your colon.. buy it at CVS or Walgreens

AC, I would never buy an enema at one of those skeevy, white trash stores. Do they carry them at Walmart?

You can get used ones at the Goodwill or Salvation Army stores, PD...much more economical.
