For those of you who didn’t know, there’s “constipation” and then, there’s “sneaky constipation.”
Yes! According to an article that popped up on my iPhone this morning, a blocked poop shute can literally “sneak up” on us when we least expect it.
And, even if we have BMs on the reg, as in every day, we can still be constipated.
That’s like our own ass, kicking us in the ass.
Gastroenterologist, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, a self-declared “poop whisperer” (I shit you not), says that even if we eat adequate amounts of fiber, that may not be enough to clear our pipes. Especially for those of us 60 and over.
Like we need more shit.
The PW advises moving more, sitting on the crapper whilst elevating our feet on a stool (!), and drinking shit tons of water in order to “move the logs down the river.”
Oy.
