Had a similar, but multiple factors smaller situation when I ate a bunch of celery and cheez whiz for a 'snack'. Felt like I was shitting out a two by four.
I literally have to take metamucil daily to not shit liquid multiple times daily. It is baaaaad. But when my stomach has been super irritated for a while because I haven't been keeping up with it that first properly fibered shit feels like a kitchen sponge running all the way through me. I feel so clean afterwards. I'm convinced it's the only real "cleanse."
Fiber teaches us lessons in moderation. I've been backed up by its overabundance and I've been backed up by its absence.
and if you go from 0 to 100% RDI instantly you get constant diarrhoea
fibre really covers the full spectrum of brown shades
I was literally in tears while reading this holy shit. It makes me think of the sugar free gummy bear story 😭
Or the amazon rebiew feom the guy who tired to use some hair removal cream on his balls and ended up on the kitchen floor in agony, shoving frozen brussel sprouts covered in ice cream up his ass and moaning from the relief while his daughter and wife watched it horror.
What story is that?
Haribo released some sugar free gummy bears, and apparently the artificial sweetener they used to make them wreaks havoc on most people’s digestion. The Amazon listing was filled with reviews graphically detailing the effects.
I think this is the most famous.
They have apparently changed the recipe since then.
Apparently some artificial sweeteners can act as a laxative. So effectively, those gummy bears were strong laxatives, leading to anybody who eats one to have to spend a long time on the toilet.
The artificial sweetener in question is maltitol.
Also, under no circumstances should you ever use it to make jello shots and give them to your asshole neighbor for the party they're about to host

Oh gods Thank you for this I haven't laughed this hard in a while!
You should look up reviews for the Haribo sugar-free gummy bears.
And watch the video of that one dude with the perpetually backwards cap eating a full bag of them 😆
I can't believe that guy is still active. Or alive.

I just missed my flight. I was stressed and upset. This greentext.....holy shit. I'm in tears laughing. Thanks!
Eat a diverse diet with lots of green vegetables. The fiber is good for you.
Eats sawdust every day, dies from impacted colon
That will get you insoluable fiber. Fruits and other veggies have soluable fiber.
The fact that bananas and avocado are being listed separate to "berries“ disproportionately angers me.

Don't forget plenty of water.
plenty of water, indeed. it what makes the shit soft.

Fiber is great, but in general, going from low to high fiber too quickly can do all kinds of gastrointestinal trouble, your microbiome has to adjust - and fiber supplements especially, if taken not as instructed, can indeed cause more severe complications like blockage.
If you don't poop for several days even though you are eating, that needs to be looked at. Anon got lucky it resolved on its own with a nice story to tell.
also weirdly significantly increasing your fiber intake in a short time (going from 0 to 30g - 100% RDI - of psyllium husk for example) can actually cause diarrhoea
If you don't poop for several days even though you are eating, that needs to be looked at
Had an injury and needed some baby morphine pills. The side effects was notable and the pain of even just a full day was incredible. There's no way I could go 4 days with a hospital right across the street.
You can in America. Going to the hospital for constipation would be a few thousand dollars minimum.
Really? I always joke about the us health system not being free and being expensive but I thought it was expensive only for things like surgery
When I broke and dislocated my arm a few years ago, four months' worth of hospital visits drained my bank account, over $2,000 gone. It was also draining hundreds from my brother's account, and then the week before Christmas I got hit with a bill for over three thousand dollars to cover the rest of the services rendered, due Christmas eve.
The services that were rendered included having my arm eyeballed by a doctor a few times, two xrays, and that's it. Nothing for the pain ("Just mix ibuprofen and Tylenol"), nothing to rehabilitate the strength I lost in that arm, just some dick in a coat poking my arm and charging me hundreds for the opportunity.
Had I not gone to the hospital, I wouldn't have been left penniless. Combine that with my severe anxiety disorder and now I feel fight-or-flight fear responses any time I have to spend more than $100 on something.
Oh yeah, then a few months after that a friend of mine elsewhere in the country fell ill. He didn't think it was major enough to warrant hospital fees, especially since he was uninsured and made little money. About a week later his condition suddenly went critical, and the next evening his sister informed me that he was dead in the hospital. Leukemia. I'd still be talking to him if it weren't for the American wealthcare system.

Had a similar experience when I ate fiber cereal as a kid, it was only one day of constipation though. I remember thinking I hadn't pooped and that was weird, I woke up the next day, brushed my teeth and as I walked out of the bathroom I felt something DROP and went "OH GOD!" and ran back in and barely made it to the toilet. I was late for school that day.
This is one of my favorite greentexts ever
Fake: anon tried to lose weight
Gay: anon had his ass destroyed by fiber
