I had this when I was about 14, a whole week without a number 2. I obviously tried to go as normal but would just be sat there with nothing happening. I was still eating normally, I couldn’t believe a weeks worth of food was still inside me somewhere. I was obviously concerned but otherwise felt fine… that was until I awoke in the middle of the night in absolute agony. My dad took me to A&E and I’ve never been in so much pain. I ended up passing out once I got to the hospital. Once there they xrayed me then stuck a pipette filled with some liquid up my *cough*. The problem was swiftly rectified 😯
I look after old people mainly. I could tell you some stories. the longest I know of was over 3 weeks without a poo – and he was eating normally – infact we were feeding him Bran – I have no idea why he didn’t explode. He did punch the surgeon who came to look at him tho. ( dementia)
One place I worked we had a turd of the week contest running. I’ve seen richards weighing multiple kilos!
