On the first day I did not shit. This did not surprise me, as I had not eaten since lunchtime the day before.
On the second day I did not shit. This did not surprise me, as the doctors informed me that I may experience constipation.
On the third day, I did not shit. I became concerned. I began eating apples, taking a stool softener, and enjoyed a large bowl of indian beans.
On the fourth day, I did not shit. My bowels began to feel...too full. I drank two large glasses of Metamucil and two tablespoons of milk of magnesia.
It is the fifth day, and I have not shat, though farts are coming profusely and with great force. I took two tablets of Senokot (recommended by my doctor) and downed a large bowl of Kellog's Fiber Plus about an hour ago.
First of all, stop eating all that fiber. By ingesting fiber, you're actually forming bulk. Metamucil is actually making the problem worse, especially if you don't ingest that kind of fiber daily. It won't help you go, it will just fill you up.
I wouldn't recommend Senokot or any stimulant laxative as it's going to give you pain and cramping.
You're on the right track with Milk of Magnesia but
1) two tablespoons is not enough and
2) you don't need an antacid
Grab a bottle of this and drink the WHOLE thing. It is available everywhere that has a 3-aisle basic pharmacy and costs about $1. Wait 30 minutes to an hour. Don't get too far from the bathroom. It's safe and I guarantee you it will work.

That's not going to get him into a Boardwalk Empire situation, is it?
You know, the scene where the kid spikes the other kids drink with this stuff, then the kid shits blood and dies? [Reply]

Good God no.
It's a saline laxative. All it does is draw water into the bowel. If you drank more than the recommended dosage it can cause other issues but perforation of the intestine certainly isn't one of them. [Reply]
