| Suppositories work best and most quickly for me if I can tell there is stuff there in the "home stretch" but it isn't coming out. I went through a period a few years ago of bad constipation. I tried an enema before a vacation and it didn't do much for me (I found it somewhat difficult to give to myself fully). |

0:03 - funniest thing I've read this month.
Good Luck, OP. I know the frustration and discomfort of going on vacation when your body gets "shy". I don't want to add to your discomfort, but sometimes if I eat something heavier than my usual - a hamburger, etc. It's enough bulk to get everything moving. |

Cheer squad, thank you!
OP - Coffee. Drinking plain warm water can help, too. I also eat two Fiber One bars if I'm really desperate. |

1. Warm prune juice.
2. Stool softening suppositories. 3. Afterwards, Metamucil every day. Cookies or liquid. |
| Epsom salt mixed in water. Stay near a toilet. You'll be cleared out within 4 hours. |
| I'm cheering for the cheer squad story! Good luck, OP. I also am a home pooper and have struggled when away. Coffee and prunes usually help. |
| McDonalds. |
| Bottle of pedialyte followed by 16 oz water |
| Drink 16-20 oz strong espresso drink with a bit of cream (Americano in the morning is my preference). Go on a walk. Eat oatmeal for breakfast. Drink lots of water. |

00:03, OMG! Hilarous. Love how it has become legend.
For OP and others, serious question - who tracks how often they poop? (Maybe I'm too casual about it since it's usually every day a couple of times a day...but if a day or two goes by, I don't think I'd notice.) Are you uncomfortable or something? Why not just wait and let your body decide when to go? |
| Those little pink laxatives work like a charm. Six to eight hours then boom. |

This is a suppository situation.
15 minutes, and you will be good to go. Literally! |
|
You've got to eat more junk food.
This is your punishment. |
This. The glycerin ones. Super fast. This is why I eat a couple prunes a day in the evening just in case. |
| Magnesium sulfate will leave you clean as a whistle. 2 bottles with a Gatorade chaser. |
