Could be IBS or IBD too – assuming you’re getting enough fiber (which may or may not be true) with IBS adding more fiber does fuck-all (although probably won’t hurt), and with IBD actually often makes things worse
edit: added note about needing enough fiber in the first place
Oh yeah this is all of course assuming that someone’s getting enough fiber already – lots of people don’t. Especially US diets are often pretty fiber poor compared to eg. most parts of Europe
Fiber just gives me gas which makes the C much more painful. Although I’ve been on the Wegovy diet for a while now, and constipation is far less frequent when you can only physically consume 200 calories of food
Oh it’s very often not constipation that causes those long shits when you have IBS or IBD, and a laxative is the last thing you’d want. Both do potentially cause constipation, but there’s better laxatives than magnesium – although apparently specifically with IBD magnesium might help with symptoms but we’re not talking laxative doses
Idk I kinda liked those laxatives they gave me before my colonoscopy. Not eating and forcing down 3ltrs of foul liquid sucked, but afterwards I felt great!
You can get blood clots in your legs doing this.
You should get up and walk around every 15 minutes.
Are you telling me to walk around during my shit?
If you spend more than 15 minutes shitting, you should maybe add some fiber in your diet.

I’ve got IBS-C and I’m one unhappy guy if I don’t get enough fiber for a meal or two.

Really?

Would drinking a little amount of magnesium help?
Help with what?
Taking extraordinarily long shits. It’s used as a laxative.

Got it. Thank you for letting me know!
What could possibly cause a long shit other than the shit moving too slow?

How do i eat carbon fiber tho?
shredded and added to a smoothie /s
With gusto and aplomb
You need to try hard and believe in yourself. Commitment, bro. Commitment.
I’m trying to save your life.
It’s nice to know that I live in a time where Satan’s maggoty cum fart is trying to save people’s lives.
Wasn’t there a subreddit back in the day with this exact thing in mind? Crazy “offensive” name, with a wholesome comment…
