help me i need to poop!!?!


Question: Help me i need to poop!!?
i haven't had a real good poop in like 4 days (only little tine pebble bunny poops) and i'm freakin' out. Where did it all go?! i feel fat like i need to poop but it just won't come. It is bad for me not to poop in that long? What are some foods that i can eat that will make me poop? Any other suggestions?

Answers:

Drink LOTS of water, not too cold. One of the major reasons of constipation is dehydration, so the poop becomes too dry and doesn't pass through the bowel as effectively.
Eat fresh fruit. Any kind.
A fibrous cereal like Weetabix or Muesli.
Lastly......grossly but true....if you are having difficulty passing it, put a little bit of something like petroleum jelly or unscented lotion around the anus. If the poo is dry it can be quite difficult to pass. However, hopefully the water will do the trick.
It is not bad to not poop in that length of time but it will make you feel uncomfortable.
A gentle laxative may be your only option if the above doesn't work but get one from a doc or a pharmacist.
