Oh, I think this is a post of a home-shitter ( someone who only shits at home, not at someone else’s home, not in public toilets and definitively not in nature ) who tries to go on a multi-day hike. Rather a than getting over his mental block, he tries to prep his body to not shit for 3 days.

Poor soul.

i’m at the complete opposite end of the brown spectrum. i poop on average once a week, at most twice a week, thrice if i ate something bad. i have a fecalysis scheduled for today and so far it’s been 3 hours of me unsuccesfully forcing my bowels to move lol

A Poop one a week is totaly fine but if you’re unsuccessfully trying for a bowel movement/poop for 3 hours something’s not right. A more fiber richt diet might help. Also drinking enough water helps. Mabe get something like a squatty-potty or channel your inner rat king.

Ehm… i would respectfully disagree that a poop once a week is fine.

That would be a reason to see a doctor if this persists for any length of time…

I actually read up on this a while ago and apparently anything from shitting 3x a day to 3x a week is considered normal.

Recent study says good = around 4 to 21 times a week. sciencealert.com/your-poop-schedule-says-a-lot-ab…

Twice a week is considered constipation.

So I did a little more reading you’re and you are right. Most sources that I found say 3x/day - 3x/Week is the usual range. More important is the Bistrol stool scale, I mean if you are having a poop once every 4-5 days but the consistency is a perfect 3-4 I dont see any harm in that. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale)

Sources I checkdd

A very cold apple juice + a very strong espresso will turn you into a propelled vehicle in about 30minutes. Hope you read this early enough.

I skip the juice, but coffee plus a cigarette is pretty much laxative in my experience lol

Have you tried magnesium? You can get it in a lot of different foods. Just look up what foods have it. You can also take magnesium supplements. I used to be like you, and once I started taking magnesium it got me to go regularly like everybody else.

Make sure it’s the “citrate” variety. That’s the one that mostly helps move things along. There are other types also available as supplements that have different effects that probably won’t benefit someone looking for digestive help.
