[–] bannana@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (2 children) how tf can someone go 3 days w/o pooping? I'm taking steps after the first day. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] terminhell@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago Real talk: Opioid abuse. I somehow never became addicted, but I did use them recreationally. I did have legitimate medical issues (gull stones, before surgery). But sometimes I just liked the high. With that said, opioids can cause delayed poops. Many other factors too, like dehydration, not enough fiber and GI conditions. But anyone that's somehow purposely holding it that long should see a doctor, and counseling. permalink fedilink source parent [–] socsa@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago Seriously. One full day and I feel like someone attached a balloon to my spleen and is filling it with lead shot. I am noticably uncomfortable to the point of it being distracting. I can't even imagine someone living 2/3 of their life like that. permalink fedilink source parent
