Been 5 days!
>30-40g fiber daily
>1200-1500cals daily
>cardio
>today took 3tsp Epsom salt
>drinking a shit ton of water
>9month cut
>lost 70pounds
Nothing...... Thinking about going to a docter but they are expensive. I can take laxatives but when I do I just go back to not pooping for a week!
Oats, broccoli, and peppers everyday and I have never had an issue. I find the absolute best thing to keep you regular is to grind dry steel cut oats and mix it with your protein shakes.
Is this reoccurring? Or a one time thing? A stool softener should help, and you could also get an enema kit.
Do you drink coffee? Coffee usually makes me shit.
Where do you live? Ill check the obituaries in the morning

Not sure if this would cause it, but I know I've had stomach problems from it before, you're getting too much fiber OP, it's 10 g per every thousand Cals you only really need 15, 20 on the higher end

I'm about to switch my diet to keto, and will be i taking low fiber. Maybe that would help.
You only need 10g fiber for every 1000 calories.
Eating too much fiber can also constipate you same way as eating too little. The idea is to eat the right amount that you need for the amount of calories you're digesting. More isn't better.
INSOLUBLE FIBER
Too much soluble/not enough insoluble will fuck you up

have you been taking a lot of aspirin w/codeine, or any other sort of painkiller?

>drinking a shit ton of water
I don't have any medical proof to back this up (pun intended), but a year ago I ended up going through a period of constipation that lasted for months. Tried every laxative the doctor would give, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
I was drinking tons of water at the time. When I stopped, I was back to being almost regular within a week.

God fucking damn it. It shouldn't take this much fucking effort just to poop properly. I might as well dedicate my life to being a health nazi.
Chronic constipation usually means something unrelated to nutrition, might be something wrong with your colon. Go to the fucking doctor instead of asking on a mongolian throat-singing message board
Eat a bowl of stewed prunes and drink a cup of black coffee

Go see a doctor. You will be paying out the ass if you don't end up shitting from it. You will end up in the hospital need surgery on your colon.
Geez. Just take a laxative and carry on.
Psyllium husk.

Welp, I guess I'm not gonna make it.
Hey OP, I am having the same issue.
I am 300lbs currently and consuming 1400 calories per day.
Although I haven't solved everything I have a couple of techniques I use. I am up to shitting once every few days from once a week by doing the following:
:Spend 30 minutes stood still before you try to shit. I find this lets my stomach 'un-crease' and causes my bowels to untighten
:Don't pluck dust from your bellybutton, for some reason this makes me more constipated
:if you can find one, buy a cheap porcelain doll (like a childs toy) from a charity store and use it to anally masturbate; the pleasure of porcelain on your ass will make your body associate it with positive feeling. When you sit just sit on the porcelain bowl without the seat and it helps
:Eat LESS fruit
