When will I go to the Bathroom?

[Nervosia]

I know I've been filling up the boards with my odd issues and my food concerns...

But I haven't used the restroom in approximately 3 days...is this normal and ok? I am definitely eating 2000+ calories daily...and drinking my water. I'm sure it's due anytime now.

For the record, I'm not talking about urination...I'm doing plenty of that.

Well, what is normal for YOU? I have always been a "regular" every day kinda girl. 3 days and I would be DYING!! I had to resort to an enema once after 3 days and dying. I have no idea why that was but I lost 5 pounds! Are you eating your veggies?? Getting any flax in?

You can try psysilium husks (I know I spelled that wrong). I take three capsuls a day. Do you eat 3 cups veggies a day? Maybe you could post a menu? Good luck, hope you have some luck with that today.

Flax and fibre is the key. Don't worry too much about it as its normal for the initial parts of the diet. But take a look for flax.

Yeah 3 cups of veggies are just not unblocking my pipes either!

Using the search function on the board. Try typing in "flax".

Failing that try searching "constipation" also.

hth a little.

Man, I've gone over a week sometimes... Its insane! Not normal for me.. But yes, fiber is the key. Try that flax! Of course, dont over do it, or it could cause the exact opposite reaction.
