I think you're so regular may be because there is a lot more water content in veggies, and you need a lot of water to properly digest anything. I am a total carnivore, but I always eat lots of veggies too. Once or twice a week would be so awful and I hear that's really bad for your colon. So for those that can't poop everyday, drink more water and eat more veggies!
When I was in basic training in 1977 there was a guy in our barracks that hadn't pooped in almost 2 wks. I didn't know about it until after they came in the middle of the night and took him out. Perhaps he didn't say a lot, I do not know. He never came back, and I don't know what happened. I do know it can lead to loss of colon sometimes tho. A grim tale.
Care for your Colon!! :cheer2:

I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like this before. Um, perhaps I don't get out enough.

I took care of a woman in a nursing home who had this issue. It really was two weeks. Finally after the charge nurse mixed what basically amounted to a 3H enema which involved (I shit you not) warmed molasses (her special touch), and 3 aides administering under great resistance, there was action. There was so much action in fact, that this poor lady was defecating for well near 3 hours. She was a new woman though afterwards. It's just sad that it got to that point.
There are so many stories like this; some are so shocking. I remember one poor lil old soul that was so impacted no enema of any concoction would work. With gloved hands, I had to remove the impaction myself. It must have been so very painful for her, but she was a new woman afterwards indeed. I hate what medications can do to the intestines. :/
I've never had it, but had to give it. Stand there and gently coax the person, reassure them and hold their hand... and clean up too, lol.
Oh, how I wish they had done that. It was more like "drink this or we'll shove a tube in there and do it ourselves."
I hate hearing things like this... Granted there is a sense of urgency as time is of the essence with this, but at the same time... why in the hell did they get into healthcare if they're going to treat people like this? Shame.
