Having problems with BMs and really need advice

High five to Brittany for shame-free pooping! No reason for bodily functions to be taboo!

My FH poops while I'm in the shower and I hate him for it.

Coffee makes me as regular as ever. I do not drink a lot...just in the a.m., and I poop every single morning, after. But you NEED a good fiber source...bran, nuts, peas, CHIA SEEDS (these have a million great benefits!), onions, bulgar, kiwi, and apples are all uncommon, but wonderful sources of fiber! And YES...TONS of water!!!!

@Champagne I'd hate him too. It'd have to be an emergent situation for me to do that.

He does it everyday, but he lingers you know....on the Ipad. Then he always wants to open up the curtain to see me naked, like fuck off I'm trying to shave my potato over here.

Hey, when you gotta go you gotta go. If you don't want to see me poop them leave the bathroom. I'm not holding it in for anyone. lol

I'm glad we don't have a toilet in the shower room.

Hold on. As...off-putting, as this could be. I think I'm most disturbed by OPs comment that she could FIND SOMEONE ELSE as a last resort. Um. Honey, your husband married you knowing exactly (or nearly, I suppose) what you weigh. I haven't heard an MD recommend Atkins in YEARS.

What you eat should be like this : have as many leafy, green veggies as you like. Lean proteins. Some fruit (earlier in the day is better). 30 mins of exercise a day (you can just walk). You will need carbs: don't eat the whole loaf of bread but feel free to have a crescent roll.

Not having a BM in three weeks in downright dangerous. Your body does that when it's SHUTTING DOWN. This isn't normal constipation. Oh, and having someone "as a last resort"? Not to mention the damage to your new, shiny marriage...but can push it up higher into your body where you EXTRA don't want it.

Be smart. Be safe. Call your doctor.

My Dad was hospitalized after not having a BM for 3 weeks. I wouldn't wish the pain he was in on anyone.

Atkins forces your body to eat it's own muscle & clog your arteries. Just quit it & eat whole foods. Try Paleo if you are dead set on a grain free diet. This seems silly, you are risking your health when there are so many other options.

So you would rather kill your body on the inside, to look good on the outside?

You sound like an idiot. Cheating on your husband for anal? Not getting off of a diet that is causing you obvious health issues?

For the love of God, get off of the Atkins diet!

Is this a joke?

I have IBS. I regularly tell my husband "I gotta go poop" and he does the same. We don't poop LITERALLY IN FRONT OF EACH OTHER but we aren't secretive about it. We both poop and fart. He once had to take my to the ER because of bleeding and had to sit there while a dr stuck a finger up my butt. So we aren't too secretive anymore. What's the point? What will you do if you poop giving birth (I am actually still terrified of this, haha). Everybody poops!!

You need to call your doctor ASAP. sounds like you have a bowel obstruction and you dont want to end up letting it go so long that you need surgery! My friend had those exact symptoms and it was caused (for her at least) by to much read meat she waited so long she ended up in the hospital for a week. Everyone is different but please call your doctor TODAY.

Storm <3's Kosman: I think I'm the only one who got your "I poop at parties" comment.

Wait, wait, waitttttt...you'd find someone else to help you with the anal portion?

WHUT.

This post has got to be a joke. Seriously this has pissed me off since yesterday. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING GETTING IT UP THE BUTT FROM SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES YOUR HUSBAND THEN GET OFF YOUR DIET.

You may be the first person to have constipation cited as your reason for divorce.

Kirsten I only do it because I'm a party pooper.

Hahaha I'm dying

Just ask him to do some plunging, he'll be STOKED and you won't have to tell him a damn thing but boy will it come out so put down towels
