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.

have had IBS my whole life. hearing people say this is like hearing people say they only breathe at home. they just. hold their breath. until they get back.

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…
