Failure to poop

It gets me down. I worry needlessly about. It was a family obsession. I can’t necessarily poop on demand. Only when I feel like it. But I’m always trying to.

I can’t really poop on demand either, if that makes you feel better.

I don’t need a laxative. It’s all in my obsession. If I don’t poop every morning, I feel defeated.

In the psych hospital they always asked if i had a bowel movement. Every day.

I poop every morning. Once in a while I fail to poop but I don’t think too much about it if I don’t go too long without pooping.

do u poop every day chrdy?
i do, i think that is healthy.

Just relax when you go! Don’t go into the loo with expectations, just relax your body and bring something to read, if you drink coffee that can help your bowels :slight_smile:

I have constipation pretty much all the time. I take miralax every day to help me go. The clozapine makes me constipated.

I skip a day about once a week.

That is not bad. keep eating those prunes :wink:

do you drink normal cows milk nw or do they serve you with soya milk?

As a child I used to have severe constipation. My record was 8 days without pooping. But now it has taken care of itself. I also eat yogurt every day and it helps.

our mum used to come to the loo with a glass of orange juice when we had constipation idk if it helped lol as i cannot remember.

however i do notice that coffee has an amazing effect on bowel movements. idk how but it just does, maybe it excites the bowel muscles as it is a stimulant drink lol

I drink Almond milk. I’m not a fan of cows milk. Except on my treat days

What is a treat day and why are you a fan then and not other days?

on a treat day i eat things that i usually do not consider healthy for me, including cow’s milk derived foods …like…snickers icecream woopwoop :slight_smile:

sometimes i just need a break from eating what i consider to be healthier options for me

cos my body requires comfort food, sometimes

unfortunately i have been having way too many treat days in my life up to now
