What If You Hold Your Poop For Too Long

What happens when your body’s 'flush system' goes on strike? Or when you decide telling your doctor you can’t poop is more embarrassing than life-threatening complications?

🤯A man held his poop for 47 days while in custody, winning a bizarre standoff with police.

My best friends brother died of an obstructive bowel. He was terrified of hospitals, so he slowly and painfully suffered for days in his apartment alone. By the time his mom found him, he was barely alive. In surgery, they opened his up, and his colon had ruptured inside. He died of infection. Horrible way to go.

The concept of health in "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" book completely explains this. I wish I read it sooner.

The santa popping up bedside and saying " Lets unclog that chimney" was out of line 😆

I sufferef from IBS-C and could go up to 6-8 weeks without going. It was miserable! The "spillover" diarrhea is no joke man! I rarely have issues now and im grateful!

More TMI topics, please!! This was very informative! I didn't know that some extreme constipation conditions could be resolve via surgery!! Hopefully, this occurs very rarely. I wish smooth movements for everyone!! ✌🏾

Sheesh…back in school, I was under so much stress and very depressed to the point that I had very bad constipation. I literally couldn’t go no matter how much I tried, and when I eventually managed it, it was beyond painful.

Ended up with a tear that had to be operated on twice. Took me years to get better, but it was such a painful and horrible experience, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I’m terrified of being in the same situation again.

I have chronic constipation and it is a living nightmare.

Drink lots of water people! I drink 4 to 5 water bottles a day and I should be drinking more! I always drink water before a meal and trust me, that 💩 slides right out ☺️

I dont think I've ever crapped daily. Anywhere between 4 - 7 days is my average. Not a fun time either, its like my body has abandonment issues and wont let anything go without a fight!

[JC-blbo]

So weird I thought of this very question just a few days ago.

I have opioid induced constipation for chronic pain and when I get that urge I literally pray it will come out. It's like pooping rocks with cactus needles on them. Meds help but I still pray. No joke, not even meant to be funny. I also pray after and just sit there saying thank you, thank you, thank you

I was blocked up for three days and skipped the fiber supplements and went with magnesium sulfate laxative. I didn't read the amount to take and drank half. What a night that was 😅

This video is so inspiring, this is what I needed to know. Finally after ages
