I am a 12 year old girl who has possible severe constipation. Sometimes when I’m feeling anxious because of my constipation, that I’ve had for many years, I come to these types of videos and look at other peoples perspectives. It just gives me so much more knowledge and emotional support that I never knew I needed. I feel like I should be grateful for not having to hold in my poop for two weeks or so, but this has been a problem that I’ve had for so so long. I’ve never seen other people cry or vent about how constipation sucks for them except here. If I could go back and talk my younger self something, I’d tell her to go to the darn bathroom even if it hurts so bad. It was her choice that she did not want to poop, and now I am like this. I hope that one day I’ll be able to get rid of this and live a peaceful and healthy life. If you or your child or anybody you know is experiencing constipation, severe or not, give them emotional support and tell them to start becoming healthy. It’s helped me so much…I don’t want to hear anybody become constipated because of their bad habits because I have gone through that. Good day and I wish everybody luck on their journey to get rid of constipation.

[@deeRay7292]

this is hard for 12 year old. stay strong. find foods that make your stool soft, exercise a little. and buy magnesium oxide.

[@gunnernathan7023]

- always salt your food with sea-salt, or salt with minerals (celtic, sea, pink himalayan etc). --- always make sure your gut acid is plentiful. i dont know how to do that but just make sure you eat sea-salt with every meal or take 6th of tspn once a day. Good to have= warm butter, ghee butter (buyteric-acid). Vit c(ascorbic-acid). Apple-cider vinegar, betaine from beets, pepsin to break down proteins. You can use all of them or even one, sea-salts the easiest one to get. Enzymes from fruits, veggys or raw foods in general, these things have high amounts of enzymes, especially pineapple, ginger and pappaya. if you cannot get them than try the supplements like papaya enzymes, pancreatin, bromelain, serrapeptase, etc. and eat them after or before a meal. if you're taking pharmaceuticals that cause constipation(no saliva production in mouth, throat, stomach, intestines etc), make sure to time your dose, take the enzymes or salt 10 minutes after your meds kick in, anytime before that your supplements are wasted in trying to get the saliva back on, you must take them after your meds kick in especially anti-depressants, anti-biotics and opiates. Once saliva production is up and running, your intestines will have the saliva flowing through again which makes digestion normal again. Digestive herbal teas(saliva production), are also great to use, you can use both or one, but the timing matters here. Good digestive teas, fennel, bay leaf, ginger, there are more. Have probiotics in the gut always, yogurt, kefir,or other fermented items are important in helping vitamins, minerals or nutrients absorb an pass. magnesium, no more than 1500 mgs a day. Have average amount of fiber in the diet. grapes and prunes are great as well

I'm still constipated and it's been going on for months the first it happend when my aunt made spaghetti that day and that's when my stomach started hurting and never pooped for days since the pain always happens when ever I tried. When I went to the hospital for difficult breathing after urinating I was told it was because i was dehydrated and my stomach was backed up. The only thing I drink was water but never eat for days after because my stomach was full so my mom and others at home told me I have to eat. Instead they gave me junk food and this made me lose trust in anyone at what tell me to eat cause when ever I do me my stomach starts hurting on my left side and can't digest it out. The only thing that helped was apple juice but they couldn't buy anymore. All this pain I'm going through makes feel suicidal.😵 and it gotten worse when my period came.

Hi, there! It's me, Rain! I really love to see vidios like this, I really do! They're so informative and so helpful! I can actually remember once when I was around six years old, when I once was suffering from really bad constipation! It really hurt, and my tummy got really bloted, and I had a lot of trouble sleeping at night because it hurt so much! But, my mom said to eat more fruits and veggies, use a hot congress to get rid of my swollen belly, and just try to go to the toilet as often as I chould, and she said she was sure I chould do it, and it whould be gone vary soon, so I took her advice, and sure enough, one afternoon, I was playing in my room, and felt a squeeze, and knew I should try to go, even if it still really hurt, so I ran to the bathroom, pulled down my pants, sat down, and waited! I sat for a while, but nothing was happining, so I took a deep breath and tried to push! I pushed and grunted and grunted and pushed, but it was tough work! But, I wouldn't give up, so I barreled down and puuuuushed and puuuuuushed and puuuuushed, over and over, harder and harder, again and again, until at last it came out! I'd finally done it! I was so proud of myself, and it was a huge relief to finally get it pushed out! Rain.

for anybody suffering from this right now, i promise - you'll get better. i'm still recovering from my 3-week constipation case, but my stomach pain is very minimal now. one day, i woke up feeling better, then it kept improving from there. i slowly regained my appetite. just drink plenty of liquids (water or hot ginger tea is preferred, but absolutely anything will do: like juice), and try to eat, even if it's just a little. take some miralax to fix your digestive tract and to prevent your colon from absorbing too much water. though if your constipation lasts 4 weeks, or you've started vomiting, please see a doctor or go to the er to check for a bowel obstruction. help yourself, or get help.

For anyone who have constipation, try grapefruit juice without sugar(not the processed one and have to be freshly juiced) or just grapefruit itself, that stuff is a lifesaver. Whenever i have constipation, my parents always give me grapefruit juice and i'll be better for about 2-6 hours. I'll drink about 200-300 ml of the juice or about 300-600g of the grapefruit.

[@yuli8897]

I am.. I recently had an intense episode of haemorrhoids who led me to to the hospital they didn't do surgery because the doctor saw them and he told me they were hard but with time everything it will be better Im better now...I only have 1 that' doesn't go away it doesn't hurt or something but every single time I poop bleed a little bit its been like this for 3 months..probably in a future I will have to go to the doctor to remove it or make it smaller or something. if any of you guys are suffering from haemorrhoids do not use creams..just take 2 pills of Daflon ( it's a flavonoid so it will make the haemorrhoids which are basically inflamed veins disappear ) One after having lunch and the other one after you had dinner believe me it's going to be the best thing you do !!! forget about the creams

Well growing up my mum always said to eat "food with spoon not only fork" which means to eat soups and "Ciorba,, not only hard and dry food so I won't get constipated. She was right, and we lived in comunist times so she was smart.

Hello everyone, I don’t know if anyone will be seeing this but I’m going to say something to you all. I came here today watching this video to learn more about constipation, which I’m actually going through right now. It’s been a while going through this rough condition and it’s horrible. The effects of constipation like Nausea, bloating and discomfort are just so annoying and bad. Trust me, you don’t wanna go through it. To be honest, I could even have chronic constipation at this point because it’s been going on for so long and some days I’m fine and some days I’m not but I could be insane and it’s probably not but I get panicked easily. I’ve been told medical advice and what I should be doing but for some reason, I feel like I’m not doing something right because sometimes I just struggle to poop and I just don’t. For the past 4 days, I have not had a single bowel movement. (Which is not right) I have been eating regularly and more since I need to because of my skinniness. I don’t really want to continue my story because it could just be too long, and I have a lot of things to talk about but I’m not going to continue. So I hope you all have a great day and I hope none of you are going though this. God bless you all, take care.

Huh. I've only ever been told that constipation is only due to dehydration and insufficient fibre, so I was so confused why it was still a chronic problem. It being affected by how your guys move makes a lot of sense.

[@axed6925]

I found out the reason my self for why I was constipated for so long and just pooping every 5-6 days. I was not chewing my food properly, I just chew them a few times and then I immediately swallowed it. It was my fault. Now everything is finally fixed and now I poop everyday because I now chew my food a lot. Eat slowly guys! You may be eating too fast which causes you to be constipated.

I feel very weak and exhausted after any defecation, so a constipation is literally a saving to me. Once in 3-5 days isn't to bad.

[@AyanBooo]

The moment you go to the toilet and once its half done it stops and it gets stuck there forever and you need to wait untill you need to go to the toilet again.

[@CreativeHistory1]

For more than 6 years I have had problems with digestion. I have taken so many medications and various treatments, nothing has helped, antibiotics, prebiotics, natural remedies, chemical everything that is in the world, nothing has helped. Also, because of the drugs, other organs and joints start to hurt. In the end I found a problem. The problem was in my swallowing food, because of which the unchewed food could not be digested and caused severe pain. Thank God, now everything is more normal and began to gradually recover.

[@XVeganDaveGodFreeX]

I never get constipated, but then again I've been vegan for 30 years. I poop like three times a day. Lots of fiber, no meat or dairy, no constipation, ever!

- always salt your food with sea-salt, or salt with minerals (celtic, sea, pink himalayan etc). --- always make sure your gut acid is plentiful. i dont know how to do that but just make sure you eat sea-salt with every meal or take 6th of tspn once a day. Good to have= warm butter, ghee butter (buyteric-acid). Vit c(ascorbic-acid). Apple-cider vinegar, betaine from beets, pepsin to break down proteins. You can use all of them or even one, sea-salts the easiest one to get. Enzymes from fruits, veggys or raw foods in general, these things have high amounts of enzymes, especially pineapple, ginger and pappaya. if you cannot get them than try the supplements like papaya enzymes, pancreatin, bromelain, serrapeptase, etc. and eat them after or before a meal. if you're taking pharmaceuticals that cause constipation(no saliva production in mouth, throat, stomach, intestines etc), make sure to time your dose, take the enzymes or salt 10 minutes after your meds kick in, anytime before that your supplements are wasted in trying to get the saliva back on, you must take them after your meds kick in especially anti-depressants, anti-biotics and opiates. Once saliva production is up and running, your intestines will have the saliva flowing through again which makes digestion normal again. Digestive herbal teas(saliva production), are also great to use, you can use both or one, but the timing matters here. Good digestive teas, fennel, bay leaf, ginger, there are more. Have probiotics in the gut always, yogurt, kefir,or other fermented items are important in helping vitamins, minerals or nutrients absorb an pass. magnesium, no more than 1500 mgs a day. Have average amount of fiber in the diet. grapes and prunes are great as well
