  • Too general. I've dealt with this and experience has taught anything with white flour will be hard to pass. Also, cheese. Ignore the dietary fiber number on nutritional labels if the food is processed. The negatives of the other junk in there will cancel out any benefits from the meager amount of fiber from veggies in there. So, eat unprocessed whole foods. The best food to fight constipation? Oatmeal. If that bores you, learn to make oatmeal bars by watching any of the numerous vids on youtube.

  • Does one get pinworms because of constipation

    ( leaving the poop in the body for a while may cause the pinworms to develop ) Is this correct ???

  • Thank god I don't drink a lot of water or excersize or eat a lot of fiber but I don't have constipation

  • I took the biggest crap of my life this morning, painful as hell, almost died.

  • I've been constipated for 20 years, I've become quite accustomed to it. I'm healthy, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, not to mention the amount of fiber that I take every day : one of these days I'll become a fiber myself! Yet, I still have the problem!

    What the heck should I do?

  • @pierneus There's not enough info for useful advice. What do you consider normal? You may need to deficate less often than you think. What does your stool look like? Is it hard and dry, or soft and formed? How much do you pass with each BM? Is there pain with each BM? Is the pain sharp or dull? Do you routinely see blood in you stool? Do you suffer from diabetes, Parkinson's or MS? Do you suppress the urge to deficate? Stay away from excessive laxatives and enemas- talk to you doctor!

  • @Bobababy2208 Yes, it can.

  • .............ahhhhhhh!

  • Dont eat jaffa cakes and bacon sandwiches on the same day, thats all im saying.

  • i get bad constipation and it dose worrie me so much but it like whenever i sit down its fine but as i stand up it feels like it gonna drop out my but lol i dont wont it and yes i fell as in 1 of these days im gonna die sitting on the loo i have to go to my doc as i also bleed :(

  • I have chronic constipation. I've had it my entire life. Sometimes I don't any difficulty going but other times I'm in pain when I push, feels like it's burning, like right now. I've been on and off the toilet a few days now and haven't been able to go. I go every 2 weeks rather than every 2 days. I know it's not good but I can't help it. I'm afraid it's gonna kill me someday. I honestly don't know what to do about it.

  • consider having a colonic, I look foward to my first one

  • I almost always have constipation pains so bad that it seems like labour contractions. It gets so bad that I feel as though I'm about to pass out. I often have to go to hospital, because I'd end up screaming in pain. I tried changing my diet AND using laxative medicines, but it doesn't really do much good. For the laxative to work, I have to chug half the bottle, then I have to stay home for 3 days until it wears off. My IBS is an absolute nightmare. I feel like one day it'll kill me. =o(

  • I use a fiber supplement with digestive enzymes. I can't live without it. I have a friend with IBS doing well with this supplement too.

  • Aww :( poor you is there any way I can help?

  • I find apples work great to help you go. As they say 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'!

  • I had bad constipation once.

    Ended up unscrewing the shower head and sticking the pipe on (not up!) my anus and gave myself a home colonic irrigation.

  • XD very open person right zombat is XD

  • lovely, must try that one myself.

  • your GP will give you a good check over.

  • I wonder what its like to be constipated whilst having sex!

    i have been given this advice by a chemist in paris god bless him he saved my life. it s a very good it work's and it s safe. good luck

  • Hahahahaha!

  • I have the opposite condition. Whenever I eat certain kinds of protein or fibre (such as muesli cereal), I spend the whole of the day farting and visiting the toilet. Literally every two minutes something loud and smelly erupts from my anus. What is this condition called? Flatulence?

  • a bit like when you eat an orange or have orange juice before you got to bed. Its the acids in the fruit because whenever i have an orange or orange juice before i go to bed i have quite a bad stomach ache

  • Maybe you have an allergy to gluton?

  • Mature comments all.

  • Constipation is no laughing matter. I have a good diet but i was put on some medication for a skin condition and the main side effect was constipation. I did not 'go' for 4 weeks and it was extremely uncomfortable until i was prescribed a strong laxative that finally did the trick. I felt like a new man i can tell you!

  • this will come in handy

  • i just eat alot of beans good sourse of fibre

  • Thanks for this informative and timely video. I don't like to air my dirty laundry in public but suffice to say I haven't been able to push one out for months. Hopefully your advice will help me.
