I’m just so depressed that this is my life. I cannot just go to the restaurant and eat a burger or pizza. If I do, I’ll be excruciatingly bloated and constipated for days, to the point of immense pain. Laxatives are dangerous and don’t help anyway, same with enemas. (All laxatives do is give you diarrhea, they don’t help with blockages)

also i turned it into a drinking game, just watched drinking game videos (more like A Video) on youtube until i finished the whole thing between the night before and the morning before, it makes it a lot easier when you play along with rules where you have to drink it

"It is well known that increasing dietary fiber increases fecal bulk and volume. Therefore in patients where there is already difficulty in expelling large fecal boluses through the anal sphincter, it is illogical to actually expect that bigger or more feces will ameliorate this problem. More and bulkier fecal matter can only aggravate the difficulty by making the stools even bigger and bulkier. Several reviews and a meta-analysis had already shown that dietary fiber does not improve constipation in patients with irritable bowel diseases."
