GVAC's Doody

[Gvac]

Hey buddy,

I've often bragged about how regular I am when it comes to my bowel movements. They're so amazingly punctual you could set your watch to it. Seriously. I shit a half hour after I wake up, without fail. During the week I get up at 5:30 AM. You could bet the mortgage I'll be on the crapper at 6. If I sleep until 10 on the weekend, I'll poop at 10:30. It's uncanny.

Now for the scary part of the story.

I haven't shit in 2 days. I'm worried.

I NEVER get constipated. Am I dying?

I have been taking a lot of over-the-counter cold and congestion medicine lately. Could that be the culprit?

Thanks again, and if I don't live through this horrific experience know that I have always considered you a friend.

You're packing it too tight.

Well, I pooped this morning. It wasn't anywhere near the amount it should have been (especially since it's been 3 days) but it's a start.

Congratulations!:clap:

I predict that you will post sometime later on that you pooped another 3 times today.

When you are backed up like that and the flood gates open once, that usually means the day is spent on the can.

That first cigarette and cup of coffee doesn't do the trick? My first cigarette is like Ex-Lax.

[Gvac]

That's why I was so concerned, A.J.

The coffee and cigs did NOTHING.

I'll never take over-the-counter congestion medication again.

Once the flood gates opened up it wasn't pretty.

Not one bit.

Yes, over the counter cold medicines often have constipating medications in them...dextromethorphan (a cough suppresant) or benadryl (an antihistamine) can both cause constipation. Always "think drugs" when you have some new crazy symptom you've never had before.

Getting off the dextromethorphan will likely return your lovely bowels to normal. If it doesn't, try adding a little Citrucel fiber supplement, or even some "Activia" yogurt to replenish your "good" bacteria. If that doesn't work and you're still a wreck, a trip to the primary care provider is likely in order. You can always purge your bowel with more powerful laxatives...if you don't quickly go back to being regular however, you still need to get checked.

My money's on the cold meds.

hope you feel better!


your pal,
