If you spend more than 15 minutes shitting, you should maybe add some fiber in your diet.
Could be IBS or IBD too – assuming you're getting enough fiber (which may or may not be true) with IBS adding more fiber does fuck-all (although probably won't hurt), and with IBD actually often makes things worse
edit: added note about needing enough fiber in the first place
I've got IBS-C and I'm one unhappy guy if I don't get enough fiber for a meal or two.
Oh yeah this is all of course assuming that someone's getting enough fiber already – lots of people don't. Especially US diets are often pretty fiber poor compared to eg. most parts of Europe
Really?
Fiber just gives me gas which makes the C much more painful. Although I've been on the Wegovy diet for a while now, and constipation is far less frequent when you can only physically consume 200 calories of food
Would drinking a little amount of magnesium help?
Help with what?
Taking extraordinarily long shits. It’s used as a laxative.
Oh it's very often not constipation that causes those long shits when you have IBS or IBD, and a laxative is the last thing you'd want. Both do potentially cause constipation, but there's better laxatives than magnesium – although apparently specifically with IBD magnesium might help with symptoms but we're not talking laxative doses
Got it. Thank you for letting me know!
Welcome to the wonderful world of people pooping too much because their bodies hate them.
Idk I kinda liked those laxatives they gave me before my colonoscopy. Not eating and forcing down 3ltrs of foul liquid sucked, but afterwards I felt great!
But the deal with IBS and IBD is that they can cause varying… uh, levels of diarrhea too – a purge might feel great but that shit (🥁) gets old pretty fast
What could possibly cause a long shit other than the shit moving too slow?
Damage to the colon, or whatever muscles are responsible.
Diarrhea, it's great fun. Can be painful too depending on what kind of IBS or IBD someone has
How do i eat carbon fiber tho?
With gusto and aplomb
shredded and added to a smoothie /s
You need to try hard and believe in yourself. Commitment, bro. Commitment.
