#chronic constipation

People with gastrointestinal issues when they don't eat: Ow! Ouch! My stomach! My guts!

literally :(

But that's my best attempt at analyzing all this. Nothing about it seems life threatening or fatal. Mostly it just feels like annoying, painful and chronic stomach aches and constipation. So... I really don't know what's causing it. But I'm going to continue complaining about dealing with it, because it feels miserable to deal with.

this is something i kind of felt like i knew through lived experience but i kept going back to upping fiber intake again and again (with water. i wasnt just doing it wrong ._.) bc of what doctors and family and everyone kept telling me (which also seems to be the reason some participants chose to keep eating fiber in the study as well). the sample size is small but their reduction in symptoms is absolutely amazing so if ur like me this might be ur go ahead to shed the "common knowledge" that fiber is the answer + if it does help u possibly something to throw at ppl who wont listen (those reviews and the meta analysis are in its references for u to check out as well)
