  • Here's what my dad told me: Eat a ton of berries! It works! Just go get a raspberry smoothie or sumthin'. And lots of water! And exercise. Walk it out.

  • There's a method on the side of epsom salt packages, that stuff you use to relax muscles in the bath, that helps you...well, you know...easier.

    Also, a meal comprised of nothing but raw fruits and vegetables, plenty of water and cranberry juice on a previously empty stomach might help that.

    *awkwardturtle*

  • Def. drink tons of water, and you can try this too -

    My Gastroentorologist (sp?) put me on something called Align. You can get it at most drug stores. A month supply runs you about $30, but there are coupons sometimes in the Sunday papers (here, anyway).

  • 1 not more! 1 exlax at an hour before bed. when you wake up the issue will start to "work itself out". You might even want to cut it in half because for me, one does the job quite thoughroughly... (spelling fail?)

    I have very sensitive and f'ed up digestion though.... it just doesnt work very well.

  • Fiber vitamins! Get them at ur local vitamin shop if u have anymore problems!! My digestive problem was massive I was sick for about two months and lost about thirty lbs during that time but it was HELL. I had to do a digestive cleanse. But damn those vitamins help!

    Good luck Justine! I think ur gorgeous!!!

  • drink black coffee

  • wow u actually look like u have lost weight,looking great! it is def noticable so even if the lbs arent coming off, there is def a diff in appearance.

    keep up the good wrk x

  • powerwalk for about 30 mins on an empty stomach...you'll poop and be pooped :)

  • 8 oz. of water, 1 tbsp of sea salt, 2 tbsp of lemon juice and 1/2 TEASPOON of cayenne pepper. tastes awful but works. its a detoxing recipe but it helps to cleanse out your digestive system really well.

    also activia yogurt is really good too if you want something that tastes good.

  • Epsom salt- Put 2-3 scoops in an 8 oz cup and you'll be in the shitter in like 4 hours.

    And another thing that I think helps with good bowel movement is grapefruit juice. Not in like a carton. FRESH GRAPEFRUIT JUICE. You gotta juice that sucker yourself. Just squeeze one big ass grapefruit and drink it.

    Hope I helped you :)~

  • My grandma didn't poop for two weeks once and drank some mineral oil to "loosen" things up. It was only like two tablespoons or something, but she broke her toilet once the mineral oil did its thing.

  • lol @ the prune juice. yea fiber.. veggies.. prunes.. ducolax.. and FIG NEWTONS!!

  • go to gnc and get some acidopholis (idk how to spell it) it works!!

  • Get some Activia, girl!

  • eat anything Kashi....it works!

  • What really helps for me (I usually only have 1 to 2 BM's a week) is when you wake up, drink a full glass of lukewarm water, any water will do.

    and I know cornflakes & milk help for my best.

    hope that helped ;) good luck

    hugs from the Netherlands

  • a huge glass of water first thing in the morning def works for me! im a 2-3x/wk myself and water helps

  • I've tried like everything;

    Laxatives make my stomach hurt.

    Mineral Oil does nothing

    I eat tons of fiber, it does a little but not a lot.

    What really helped was this acai immunity supplement/juice thing called Mona Vie. Its pricey, but it was the only thing that worked for me.

  • Senna Tea, you can find it in most healthfood stores, I think i bought a box at GNC.

  • I love that you are asking for pooping advice.

  • If you don't want to take a laxative pill (or 2), which shouldn't be a constant go-to anyway, I definitely suggest Miralax as well.

    It's made just for women and it's better than Metamucil. It comes in a white container with a purple cap. Just look in the aisle w/laxatives and fiber stuff at Walmart, Target, etc.

    Best of luck, Justine. We've all been there. <3

  • Have you tried going to the bathroom? I bet that would help.

    Love,

    Richard

  • lol

  • I have been there, and honestly the best thing for me has been eating LOTS of vegetables, especially spinach. Fresh baby spinach has been my savior. Also, I suggest eating higher fiber grains, avoid white, bleached, processed grains and stick to whole grains.

  • drink milk that will help

  • Well besides increasing fiber, I just want to say make sure you increase it gradually because if you eat too much fiber or you increase your intake drastically it will make things worse..

  • Miralax is what my nurse friend recommends or magnesium citrate to get things moving along. Magnesium citrate tastes gross, but it does the job! :)

  • Hope it's better next week. It's cool ya'll will be giving it to charity. :)

  • Oh God. Someone else already said this, but FIber One definitely gets the job done when it comes to digestion. They have delicious bars and yogurts and they work REALLY FAST. Dangerously fast (for me).

    Fruits and vegetables are great (for me at least) b/c it's almost impossible for me to binge on them.

    Keep up your good effort the hell!!

    <3

  • Instead of Fiber One, my mom calls it "Poo Cereal" LOL. Guess why. :-D

  • i have to eat a fiber one bar every day for like 5 days before anything changes.. my guts must be slow ^_^

  • Nature's Three by Nature's Sunshine!!!!!!!!!!! Its the bEST I did a vid on it ;D

  • the answer is Benefiber, Justine.Lol . If you get the powder version, 2 spoonfuls in ANYTHING (oatmeal, water, yogurt etc.) At BigLots they sell a pack with pills and powder for like really cheap.

  • hate when that happens. i hate over eating, and eating when im bored, when i travel.and ive been away from home for over a week.....going on two....shucks.

  • Oh, I should have mentioned not to get the ones with calcium. I've read that if calcium is taken without magnesium it can make your particular problem worse.

  • Three words: Metamucil Fibre Capsules.

  • try flax seed supplements everyday, its natural and i noticed it helped me a lot.

  • Always have me. Drink just the juice. For me it's always pickle juice,stale beer. I guess try it. I drink Claussen Pickle juice. Hell what is there to lose? You get pickles either way.

  • I have IBS and when I have that "problem" i use mineral oil

  • try eating fiber one bars! my mom had the same uh "problems"

    hope this helps!

  • Justine just eat kiwi's, in the morning two on an empty stomach then another two. Do this every day and believe me you wil go to the toilet :D love from Amsterdam

  • You just might wanna pick up some fiber pills.

  • Get on a probiotic! About a month ago I started taking one called Florajen3 that I got at the health food store. Pill format, which I like. Supposed to be like eating 10 cups yogurt. Yowsa! I was afraid I'd have side effects, but honestly, the only side effect is feeling better! Cheers!

  • what i had did was to just stick a finger in there and just wiggle it around, this will proceed to loosen things up down there.

  • Justine, your face looks noticeably thinner. Sorry about the digestive problems, but you look great

  • Interesting, because constipation usually comes from eating too much white carby stuff. But if you're eating lots of fruits and veggies with all kinds of fibre, I dunno what to tell ya... Other people's advice seems to suffice :o)

  • you look gorgeous! i'm sorry about your digestive problems =( that sucks

  • Salt water.  It's part of the master cleanse, but if you really need it it's two TEASPOONS of uniodized sea salt to 1 quart of warm water. Sip it. If you chug it, you'll vomit. But you should go within an hour.

  • You're body usually reacts differently when you all of a sudden change your diet. You can sometimes feel bloated, gaseous or find yourself needing to go often. haha. If you're taking vitamins, certain vitamins cause u to be constipated (like iron). LAUGH AWAY. But your body is just getting used to it. Eat oatmeal a lot for breakfast...it makes u full in the morning and less likely to feel like ur starving by Lunch.

  • Yeah bran flakes, orange juice, curries & fruits and veggies. BTW Turnip helps a lot. idk why, but it does.

  • fiber, fiber, fiber, fiber, fiber. If you're too much one way or the other, fiber helps. It's easy to get. There's something like 15 grams of your 25 grams in a cup of beans. Burritos! Good luck!

  • no bananas! they bind you.

    warm baths. drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit! NO BANANAS!

  • actually this is true bananas can really really make it bad. And hard cheese.

  • I am normally a once a week kinda person...but once I eat the rainbow in fruits and veggies, and drink lots of water...I change to once a day! Make a big fruit salad and a veggie salad on Sundays to last the whole week! Makes it much easier to plan if you plan out everything on one day for the whole week. Good luck with the...ummm...digestive problem!

  • Once a week is really not normal.

  • It is when it has been that way for your entire life.

  • I suppose...but the fact that eating more fruits and veggies makes you go daily probably means it's not.

  • Drink alot of water.

  • i heard orange juice is good. but i'm not sure? lol srry.

  • Bran cereal, yogurt, and lots of water. :-)

  • If you need relief pretty soon try taking some Senokot. It's a natural "situation helper" for digestion issues.

    In the future try to cut down on red mean and cheese intake as they bung you up.

  • water drink water

    also acai smoothies. i swear by those. umm TMI- but i have issues too. due to auto immune problems

    acai pills help also if you can find them. but the smoothies seem to help me and make me fill full

  • Try eating lentil!

    It's good for you in every way, even for your bowels

    Good luck!

  • I've been trying to live a healthier lifestyle and have actually partnered up with a great guy who already lost about 80lbs. I've only started recently but I lost 3lbs within 4days of doing this regimine. I eat every 3 hrs to keep my metabolism running, snacks are FRUIT or VEGGIES (maybe a 100 cal pack of chocolate to fix my craving lol). I drink a gallon of water throughout the day and walk for @least 30 minutes 4 out of 7 days. Try it for a week and see what happens. I guarantee results!

  • Im probably about your size justine, and im trying to lose weight too,

    But once, after a very bad hangover, i just drank water for like 2 weeks, and lost alot of weight,

    i didnt really eat anything different, but i think it was because the water flushed all the bad stuff out of me, so try that, just drink water instead of anyything else xx

  • FLAX SEEEED.... I swear by this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have IBS ( TMI ) and I kid you not if you have two tablespoons of ground flax in a smoothie and drink some water it'sgonna HAPPEN!

  • Try the Fiber One products, they will help you, and they are delicious.

  • My mom has the same "issue" , a lot...runs in the family, but she swears that hot drinks help, like cappuccinos or teas. Or just good ole Correctol.

  • apples are amazing for regularity.

  • a cup of smooth move tea b4 bed

  • a daily nomming of normal yogurt will help. You don't need Activia unless it's a regular problem, like all the time.

  • its rly good to at least walk a block everyday and not to eat past 6

  • (forgot to add this)

    and also drinking green tea helps speed ur metablism

  • i heard if you drink water it like detox's your system so that might help?

    also ACTIVIA YOGHURT! but the ones in the wee pots.. like peaches + cream - they're my favourite

  • FIBERS thats all im gonna say:)

  • You could try yogurt to help with your issues.

    Not necessarily that activia stuff 'cause personally I think it tastes like crap, but just any kind of yogurt should help a little.

  • So it seems everyone else is telling you this, but yeah, coffee. It works for me. I prefer black, but even a latte works, personally.

    But on a day to day basis, try to remember to eat fiber and drink water. A lot of the processed "low calorie" foods greatly lack in fiber, which may be the cause of your uhhh... digestive problems.

  • wait, is the problem too many poops or too few?

  • Coffee coffee coffee!

    Honestly, I was having the same problem just last week and i drank a cup or two of coffee and it helped!

  • i know what you mean. conola oil a good option also, esp for stir fry. it heats to a higher temp than evoo and is also considered a "good fat", so to speak. :)

  • activia yogurt helps with digestion..and its healthy!

    also...when you eat a meal that has several portions (veggies, chicken, etc.) you get full faster because you are satisfying several points of the food pyramid. eating a lot of one item will only make you hungry sooner rather than later due to unfulfilled dietary requirements.

    good luck! =)

  • drink milk of magnesia

  • some strong coffee will get things moving along fast for me, not a Frappucino or anything like that, just black coffee. Fiber One has put out some really tasty high fiber cereal without too much sugar that might help..

  • awh poor thing. it's horrible, isn't it? don't take laxatives, they just tear up your stomach. just drink water and walk alot. that keeps up your digestion. and eat lettuce, it cleans your colon.

  • you look beautiful this week, I can tell you've lost in yo face!

    I've been having a few digestion issues myself, do not like.

    How the hell did two months go by so fast?!

  • Papaya is really good for that digestive problem. If you don't really like papaya, you can dress it up w/a little bit of Lime or Lemon juice, & sprinke some suga on it! Yum!! =D

  • idk drinking alot of water helps me with those issues

  • I have a multitude of digestive issues. I eat at least 100% of my daily recommended fiber every morning with some crazy high fiber cereal I have.

    Strangely enough a good healthy portion of watermelon can really speed the system up in my experience. If my divestive system is in peril, I reach for watermelon every time. Beats any pill or medication I have ever tried.

  • My dad would drink plum juice for that...

    But they do sell pills and whatnot...

    Activia yogurt?

    Hope you feel better...

    (:

  • oh, you mean you can't poop?

  • my hate for you is unbearable

  • LOL XD

  • Oh, digestion problems? Girl I am the QUEEN on stomach issues:-X Try probiotic acidophilus. You can get the pills from Walgreens.

  • Where the Hell did the last 2 months go??

  • I'm in love with yogurt and I top it with fresh fruit [blueberries are really yummy and inexpensive right now].

    Ummm...let's see, also, if you take a lot of tylenol or advil, you can work up an immunity to it and it can also upset your stomach and lead to constipation and the like. (Just throwin it out there...it happened to me)

    Keep up the good work Justine!

    And congrats on the channel makin partener! You all are AMAZING! xoxo

  • but yeah, when in doubt, water it out! :) Try iced tea, too...lightly sweetened...that helps...plus it's not that high in calories...

  • I'm in the middle of having Bronchitis, and what I've noticed for me (different problem, but same food advice lol), anything dairy, BESIDES yogurt, will do nothing but make digestion worse. Plus any meat will tend to do that if your digestion isn't up to par. Also, try to stay clear of super acidic foods. For some reason I've heard (and found out) that makes digestion harder.

    I've been taking antibiotics, and that's affected my digestion, so I'd know a little about what you're going through! :)

  • I didn't realize until I got all this advice how much dairy I've been drinking. I drink A LOT of lattes!

  • switch to soy if you can stand it! sometimes when I'm feeling adventurous/don't want all the fat in soy I do half soy half non fat in my beverages. but DAMN, I love soy milk. ours is flavored with vanilla and it is YUMMY.

  • OOOO thanks for the tip! I will try soy! I keep reading about how bad coffee is for these issues but you know how I do, i needs the cawfee

  • soy is really not so great if you have any thyroid issues at all. I would drink almond milk, but one made at home. Then you can use the almond pulp in oatmeal or on cereal or whatever.

  • Ok..I have the same problem and my dr. say to take 1 or 1/2 a pill of fiber a day(Fibercon), a little Milk of Magnesia daily, eat fruits & veggies daily(we all know this part), drink Water(alot) and you must excercise - walking. You have to be consistant or it won't work. Hope this helps. It can be a shock to your system when you start dieting or change food, but if you do this daily your body will adjust. Good luck!

  • Def drink more water- otherwise, everything gets too "dry", as in compacted and cant move. Excessive alcohol *cough*789*cough* can make dehydration worse down the line.

    and p.s. Rum/vodka plus diet coke is only about 70 calories per drink (assuming one shot per drink [8oz tumbler, for example]) I do sprite zero and pear absolut. LOVE!

    Good luck moving things along, Justine! Kudos on the portion control win!

  • LMAO yes, the alcohol was quite excessive...

  • I was in the hospital because I had really bad digestive problems a few months ago. I have IBS, I just recently got it. I also am trying to loose alot of weight. The doctor told me to take MiraLax which is just basically a powder fiber supplement I put in water and doesnt have a taste at all. That really helped. But yeah, lots of fiber! Those Fiber One bars are pretty good too. But now because of digestive problems I can't have pop or ANY greasey foods, it sucks.

  • oooo miralax, good thinking! thank you!

  • Yogurt!

  • your on the right track with the prune juice! That usually works for me. Plus I think with or without digestion problems drinking that 1/2-1 cup every is healthy. Prune juice isn't my favorite so i just close my eyes & chug it down! HAHAH

    Aww your doing so well! You do look skinnier! Keep up the good work!! =D

  • I drink pickle juice. BAM!

  • wait does that really help? i LOVE pickles

  • eat watermelon

    its working for me

    i eat watermelon

    like everyday now

  • senokot is the closet thing we have to magic. try it.

  • A little Milk of Magnesia helps. I have had chronic digestion that fruits, veggies and extra fiber didn't help. Someone told me to drink a spoonful of milk of magnesia once a day for a week, and it really helped.

  • digestion problems can be a side effect of too much greasy food, or irregular eating schedule, or just a poor diet. one way to eat more veggies is stir fry. it is quick and easy, and eat it with brown rice (more goodness, vitamins, less processed). another way is to shred or slice some vggies thin and put them, like a good half cup of them, on a grilled cheese sandwich. (use good cheese, though, so you can use less of it and still taste the wonderful. and whole grain bread.) good luck! :)

  • chill........... I was just exacted to see it first, :D , and Jpmetz congrats , keep do in it :D

  • eat yogurt with probiotics once a day!! it really helps with the poops!!

  • you mean like activia?

  • ya girl! lol sorry im canadian and i've never bought yogurt outside of canada so i wasnt sure if activia was american or not. LOOOL

  • Any yogurt will do the same thing that activia does, don't be fooled by the big words on the package. My doctor told me! But yeah, yogurt is so good to help with digestive problems! I have IBS (TMI), and it does just come down to food quality, high fiber foods, fruits and veggies. I love you guys!

  • lol nothing wrong with this comment at all, so this isn't personal , it just made me LOL severely! XD

  • this may be true my friends, but activia tastes the best. especially the vanilla one.

  • PLUM SMART JUICE, will leave your intestines squeaky clean!

  • Hehe, a few weeks ago I was having some serious inner issues. Alls i did was take some softners and then I started taking benefiber and I was all better. And not to be gross but try vaseline, only a little bit...works wonders. Good luck!

  • PLUM SMART JUICE!!!!!

  • excersise helps like a beast, and just up water intake and anything with fiber.

    Also bran flakes will clear you out ASAP.

    I'm talking ASAP.

  • probably water... I def don't think I get enough of that! I've been eating raisin bran :(

  • No, man, you need to be drinking 3 servings of Metamucil.

    Raisin Bran will not cut it.

  • water is the best it helps clean and clear the intestines

  • yeaa justine. love ya girl!

  • i hope your weight comes out lower!! keep going, your doing great :)
