I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? (lemmy.world)

Please don't ask why I need this.

It would be great if the food also made me sweat less.

It has to be something I can easily find.

EDITS FOR CLARIFICATION:

  • I am not planning on partaking in any illegal activities.

  • I do not condone the use of illegal substances and am not planning on smuggling anything anywhere.

  • I am not going on a hiking trip or mailing myself anywhere.

  • I will be staying in a tent (not a small one; a huge with with air conditioning and everything). I will be traveling for five days, returning to my current location on day 3 and traveling again on the last two days. I will not poop on the first three days (hopefully).

  • Clean toilets with all the expected facilities will be available to me. I am not going to poop for reasons that I wish to keep to myself.

  • If it gets bad, like really bad, like a-piece-of-poop-is-literally-halfway-out-my-ass bad, I will use the toilets.

Please stop asking because I am not telling anyone the reason.

Some armies use cheese to reduce frequency of bowel movements.

This. I’m ex-military. Our ration packs came with these highly processed cans of cheese. I’d go 4-5 days without doing a shit.

Was never a good time after though

Ugh, I'd die. Dairy allergy means I'd shit my brains out

That would be counterproductive xD

hot hot hot hot hooooooooot

I did not know that. I might want to consider eating more cheese just to have more time :P

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What type of cheese?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Drier, hard cheese gives better results. If you want to not poop you cut out all fibre (anything vegetable). No coffee, no sauces/ oils. Eat less

I always hear MREs cause days-long constipation, but they probably aren't in the "easy to find" category.

And I'm not going to ask OP what the situation is, but I'm assuming some kind of stowaway situation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Was going to say this too. Especially processed cheese, that'll bind up your insides tighter than a sub in a vacuum bed.

Let's hope he's not lactose intolerant

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Does that work for (a good portion of the population) who are lactose intolerant?
