So, I did my absolute level best to hydrate properly and to take fiber so I could be regular today, and have decent bowel movements in the toilet and not use diapers for pooping. I thought I had gotten it down. I had 2 nice and easy bowel movements, and then Mr bowel was knocking on the door a 3rd time, and I'm like.. ok, time to let go. I could tell that this would be a very strenuous poop that would require fingers up my butt if I used the toilet. Sure enough, it was. I was like, darn. What happened to the nice easy bowel movement I had earlier?? Something I ate? So, I cleaned up on my last break and then went back to work. Only to find just a few minutes later, Mr bowel pressing AGAIN. I'm like screw it... I dont have time for this. This time, it was very explosive and came out with force. For a minute, I thought I had a containment breach. Luckily I did not upon later inspection. I am just so glad that tonight was a slow night so I could clean up from diaper poops twice and use the toilet twice. 4 bowel movements in 1 shift is getting somewhat annoying. I took 3 fiber gummies and an enema earlier that day. I had a smartwater and a gatorade. I ate a crossaint sandwich and a macaroni salad. I had a few candy bars as well as a protien bar. Are any of these known to be constipating??? Somethings gotta give..... Sometimes I even wonder how exactly I was toilet trained as a kid.. must have been an arduous process.

I just wish for nice easy bowel movements from the universe. I don't care if I do them in a toilet, a diaper, a tree, or a fecal containment pouch. Jus tell me how to avoid constipation consistently and I'm there. Do I have to give up waiting to use the toilet? Done. Call me a diaper user from now on. Do I have to take gummies every day and give up candy bars and drink a ton of water? Done. Consider me candy bar less. My wife has the same issue. Some days her bowels move really well. Other day she strains and sticks her hand up where the sun dont shine. Theres just GOT TO BE an easier way. For the love of pancakes!

Peace out!

Rob

I take Benefiber at each lunch, when I can. When I'm out and about, Good luck and keep us informed.I put a docusate sodium tablet in a pill container in my pocket. Bowel issues can be devastating. Learning what works can be frustrating and humiliating. If you can, get some advice from a gastroenterologist; I found that most useful.
