I'm INSANELY constipated…help!!?
okk so i just got back from the doctors, and they took an xray of my stomach … apparently i’m incredibly constipated. This weekend i have to poop it all out lol eww i kno but its true. If im going to be basically ‘cleaning’ my intestines, does that mean i will have a large weight loss?

Drink a lot of water, I mean A LOT OF WATER. You don’t want to get dehydrated with all the pooping. Eat prunes and maybe take some benefiber (two teaspoons 3 times a day).
you should……i was insanely constipated, took a bunch of laxatives and lost 7 pounds…..thats alot of poo!
it won’t be a huge weight loss, probably a pound or two. drink tons of water, flax seed, raisins and other foods to make you poop! good luck!
two words: prune juice.
You will lose some weight, but not a major loss.
It depends on just how constipated you are, but yeah, I have seen people lose up to 15 pounds in a few days. You need to increase your fluid intake. They need to tell you what is causing this with you, most likely it is dietary. In the future if you need to go, I highly suggest drinking a bottle of Magnesium Citrate, you can find it at most every Drug Store and it works well. Also, try drinking a warm beverage every day, hot cappaccino works wonders for me! Good luck!
eat a lot of celery…. it is a natural laxative!
You may want to try bisacodyl (sold as Dulcolax and other names) rectal suppositories. You put them in your behind and you have a bowel movement in 15 minutes to an hour. May sound gross but if you are really constipated and feel unable to pass anything, it should work. A little at first then more within the next 48 hours, will cause some mild stomach upset but will solve constipation.
There’s also oral forms of bisacodyl (takes longer to work), stool softener pills you can take for mild constipation and fiber supplements (like Metamucil) you can take to manage bowel movements.
Remember to wash your hands with antibacterial soap and if you’re concerned about toilet clogs, get a flange plunger (designed for toilets) from any hardware-selling store just in case.
