bowel movements

[insuffilation station]

I realize I'm toeing the line of decency...but I just gave birth to a 5 lb turd. A man isnt equipped to deal with things of this nature. I'm fucked up about it. This is only 15 minutes ago and my wife keeps asking me whats wrong, I cant sit down, I see an appt with my shrink in my future, I promised Id never masturbate again to God. Dude. Any advice. I called a buddy who gets down like I do and he said drink water. Water? Are you kidding me? I need WD-40 for my asshole. I cant imagine havent to go through this again. Advice?

[pain-pateint]

There's always soapsuds enemas!:confused:

[EleusisII]

Did you weigh it? How big was it? Length and diameter please!
Don't know what to tell ya... Used to be a big problem for me, constipation that is, but somehow it went away by itself.

[southernbelle]

Preparation H is going to be a good friend to you...and eat more fiber!

[MEKONE]

For future refrence,like mentioned above,FIBER is the key.I was the same way,shittin' cinder blocks every few days,praying on the bowl,etc...However by adding a simple thing like a daily bowl or 2 of cereal (Strawberry Frosted mini-wheats or Rasin bran are my favorites) has since kept me "regular".
Give it a shot,you should start to feel effects in 3-4 days.

Opiated Pooping 101 (there's lots of threads about this in TFSE.) :p
Drink LOTS of water 10-12 8 ounce glasses of water a day at least.
Increase your fiber intake - Cracklin' Oat Bran cereal is yummy and does the trick. Frosted mini wheats, All Bran and regular Oatmeal also do the trick, just not as deliciously.
Eat FRESH UNPEELED fruits and veggies - yes, you should peel your orange or grapefruit, but apple, plum, pear, grape skins are all high in fiber. All the green leafy veg have fiber - cabbage & celery have lots.
If you can't gt enough fiber in through your diet, try the fiber supplements - metamucil is a good one.
Take Docusate 100 mg two times a day - it's a OTC stool softener and will help draw liquid into your gut to soften those mighty turds of yours.
Miralax is excellent for restablishing a regular pooping pattern, but be aware that you can become "addicted" to laxatives to make your colon work so go easy on the meds. Seenkot is a good vegetable laxative that really works. Keep drinking all that water, too.
Good luck!
And Preparation H IS nice for your poor sore just gave birth asshole:D

It sounds to me like your problem has been solved already. You got it out right? Just make sure to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet from now on.

I had a similar experience once. I was hospitalized for about a week, on opioid pain meds, and never got out of the bed in ICU. When I was discharged and actually started moving around a little it hit me. I had to go, real bad. That was the single worst pooping experience I've ever had. I didn't think it would be possible to pass that one, but somehow everything stretched to the max and I got it out.

I felt much like you at the time... scared and hurting... but also relieved I was able to pass that monster.

[Duckfeet]

Yeah, lots of threads on this, and if you are new to serious constipation...well, wellcome to most junkies world...it always happens eventually, to different degrees, when you finally think your troubles are over, and you get on some long lasting opiates, or get enough daily short acting opiates where they don't get out of your system...

With me, the first time I noticed it, other than hospital stays, as was mentioned, was the first time I got on methadone maintenance...by day 3 w/no bm, I started worrying and feeling crappy and bloated...and finally just said *fuck this* and got off methadone...and over the years, anytime I'd get on methadone, even at the lower doses they start you out at nowadays, I'd immediately get constipated and have problems...

The last few years have been the first time I ever stayed on mmt, and it has been a serious daily problem with me, anytime I'm above 20mg...and the same w/subs, so it's either something genetic, that some of us are just more susceptible, or more likely, that it just gets worse with age--I'm 58 years old in a week, so...---but it was bad for me, even when I was in my 20's, and moving around, and drinking enough beer to get the water in me...don't know...

Eventually I have to trot down to drugstore and get that crappy greenslime sour shit you can actually by over the counter, and that makes me puke...if it's not *real* bad, sometimes Milk of Magnesia works...but a couple of times, by day 5, w/no bm, I"ve had to go to ER, and they give me a jug of golitely (presurgical crap also, tastes like shit)...

Most people do alright w/lots of water, lots of fibre, and a docustate or two a day...I took a 250mg docusate every day, until I got down below 20mg on mmt...also sometimes, I"ve used coffee enemas--there is a sticky somewhere--and daily suppositories, etc., but once u start down that road, you end up doing it daily, and eventually, even these xtreme measures suck...it's probably the main reason I don't stay on methadone maintenance...

Here, see what you get to look forward to:

If you're prone to use opiates a bit more than recommended (or even as Rx by a doc), you're bound to have a few bad BM episodes.

All the advice given so far is good:

1- Increase fiber (bran cereals, powdered fiber, etc...),
2- Preperation Aitch suppositories,
3- Mineral oil, 1-2 tspn at bed time,
4- Get some exercise (don't just lay around nodding).

2-3 episodes of B.A.S. (Bloody Ass Syndrome) after passing huge, hard, ass-ripping turds should be enough negative-reinforcement to make one buy and use fiber cereal, suppositories and gulp-down some mineral oil at night.

Do this, and your bum will be happy lad..., do it not, and ye might be a-poopin in a bag glued to the left side of your tummy !!

... but be aware that you can become "addicted" to laxatives to make your colon work so go easy on the meds....

I actually have a question about that. I am Rx'd lactulose to take orally everyday (I am on MMT) and I was wondering if I could become addicted to it. The stuff works great - but I am concerned that maybe I should slowly reduce it and replace with prunes and lots of fiber. I get the feeling if I stopped taking it suddenly I would be in trouble.

I'm surprised no one posted this yet..

welcome to the dark underworld of opiates.

Like mentioned above your problem may be over for now but if you don't take care of it it can come back with a vengence.I've heard stories of people actually digging clumps of ROCK HARD shit out of their ass with their fingers,bloody stool all kinds of messed up shit.Do yourself a favor and just add a bowl or 2 of cereal to your daily diet and drink LOTS of water.
On a side note low fiber can also cause all sorts of other problems that I'm familiar with like diverticulitus which HURTS LIKE HELL!!! Save your colon/intestines the trouble.

[wizardofoz80]

sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone else have to take a shit before they score their DOC? Whenever I get my OC all the sudden right before I shoot I have to take what I call the anxious shit. Right after I bang it goes away and I cant poop until the next day when I score..

[duck]

yep, happens to me all the time.

The cause is the cure and the cure is the cause I'm afraid.

[Duckfeet]

Yep, sometimes like clockwork...I'd cop some dope, head home, all of a sudden have to stop at first gas station, use bathroom for *two* reasons...seems pretty common...I never know which urge is more powerful, either...I'll usually start preparing the spoon, put water in, the take a dump, then get back up, finish job...what a life we live...:)

[Papa Verine]

Me too... I'd get the anxious shit when copping.

Also, when I used to be into stimulants, I'd have to shit immediately after snorting a line of amphetamines.

[runormal]

My friend once said, "If you get nervous farts while waiting for drugs then you are a drug addict."

I think he's totally right. I would get that just as my OCs would show up. And with coke, that is a whole other thread to discuss all the shitting and farting that comes with waiting and doing coke!

[duck]

Word. Cocaine is my #1 opiate constipation cure. If I wake up and rail a huge line of good coke......I'm off and running :p

[wizardofoz80]

haha this is cracking me up. Guess I'm not alone..

[pain-pateint]

What works for this? As 12 year chronic pain patient, sometimes a very high doses and sometimes on none or very little, I have run the gamut of this problem.....

1. ALWAYS keep a bottle of magnesium on hand. 1,000 - 1,500 mg of magnesium oxide works kind of like Milk of Magnesia but it's not as drastic and much less costly. Take 500 mg in the am, and another gram at bedtime and you will go in the morning and it won't be hard.

2. Magnusium citrate is gooey green stuff someone else posted about above, and it works ALMOST RIGHT AWAY because the magesium is in a form where it instantly acts as an osmotic laxative and it's in a solution with carbonation, again making it faster.

2. BEST is to get a Rx for Amitiza, which is really for IBS, but two caps a day of that and you will go fine without any drastic effects. Kind of makes ya just normal.

3. Increasing fiber ALWAYS helps but sometimes creates a lot of gas so a better option is Miralax, some kind of powdered plastic that draws water into the bowel (as magnesium and Amitiza, do too). Miralax used to be by Rx only but it now is over the counter. It can take a couple days to really work and works best if you use it every day. It's not for instant of ovvernight relief and is kind of like fiber in this way.

4. I try to avoid any stimulant laxatives but I keep some generic Senakot around to add to the Amitiza or magnesium if things are getting really bad. You have to take it about 12 hours before you want to go, so take if around 9 or or 10 if you want to go in the AM.

5. If you are ever in the situation described in the opening here -- i.e., almot too painful to pass -- use a soap suds enema. It works to get things out just like soapy water works to get a ring off your finger thats way too tight.

6. Finally, blow (we call it Home Delivery or HD here) can work really well if you do a few lines in the morning. It's probably do to the rush of epinepherine and norepinepherine relased because usually high levels of those things will make it harder to go but the RUSH of them has a different effect, just like an extreme flight or fight reaction will cause folks to go. Also, if it's cut with mannitol or anything that has an osmotic effect, I am sure that contributes as some of it gets into your gut even when you're only snorting it.

Well, that's it, my top 6 tips to make your butt work! I have done my work for today.

Best,

M

Haha, me too. I always shit as soon as I copped, or very shortly after anyway..
My theory is that by the time I cop I am usually getting pretty sick, or at least I am in the initial stages of withdrawals. So I always had to go as soon as I got home (or worse for my man: at the place I used to cop ;-)
On heroin it used to be like clockwork: I'd cop after work, go home, have a good shit and then.. let the party begin! On methadone it's a whole different ballgame. I have severe IBS with nervepain so it's either all or nothing or some weird looking small unidentifiable *thingies* every once in a while, accompanied by a lot of pain and bloathing.. (sorry tmi..I know).

Anyway, heroin sure felt like the number one cure for my IBS: I went regularly - but more importantly - also normally: one big dump a day.. and no more pain whatsoever! Too bad my doc won't script me any short acting opies for IBS.. I swear it's a cure all for me.

I promised Id never masturbate again to God




Um Wut???

For sure.. we call them the anticipation shits around here..

EDIT: Note to self.. stimulants are bad about that shit. I used to get these 10mg Riddle in's that powdered up real nice for railing.. Made me take some of the hugest dumps of my life after copping.. With non-stims it's usually the before-score shit.

You aint fucking kidding me.

[mikey5string]

another anticipation shitter here.:D

i love (shelled) sunflower seeds. i eat a shitload of them and i think they really help me go too.

amitiza also works for me. i have a few boxes of samples in my sample drawer. you can hit me up on aim if you want some more info.

[lotus]

is the anticipation shit a guy thing?

[Indy]

Well i remember gor always talked about shooting up meth on the toilet while taking a shit, so i don't think so. Then again i can't say for sure that it's a "girl" thing either.

[More Feen]

I always thought that it was a Psychological / Physiological Thing:

You KNOW that you will be high soon, and you KNOW that you will be bound-up for a few days, so, in anticipation, your body decides to "get while the getting's good" and poop while it still is capable of doing so.

Ah, the good old days....

[duck]

is the anticipation shit a guy thing?

No, most definitely not. I lived with my female significant other for a few years, most of which was filled with massive opiate use, and she certainly got the ancy-pants almost every time.

I can't believe I just said that. I still tell myself girls don't toot.

Psychological, yes, but not to help get ahead of the constipation...it's just general excitement and stimulation...like when you get coked out or like when I take my dog for a walk and I'm about to bring him a vanilla puppy cone and he gets so excited he has to poop. It's a funny concept, really, that we defecate when we get excited...it's kind of like God telling us that no matter how happy you are, you still are filled with shit.

[wizardofoz80]

HAHAHA Duck that last post deserves some reputation points I just sent your way!
