Yeah so, ive been alternating between kratom, buperenorphine, and the h bomb. Before any internet "correctors" say it wasn't h: it was. I tested it. With the test kits. And just to be fair, when it wasn't h, that's when i hopped on the other aforementioned stuff. Anyway, each causes constipation in its own way. Perhaps surprisingly, kratom seemed to be the "worst." At a relatively moderate daily dose of 14g (If you want to call that hi, I won't argue with you, but I will tell you that there are people who get way crazier than that), it not only brought things to a halt, it seemed to strongly affect the sphincter, so that even smaller sized pooparinos felt like i was stretching my butthole painfully.

So i made the dumb mistake of using glycerine suppositories on a fairly regular basis. Not every day, or even every other day, but frequent enough to exacerbate my already challenging poop situation. Now, I wasn't completely stupid (only moderately stupidish), i avoided rice and was even scared of it. I bought fiber one bars, prunes, drank kefir, and even discovered something called "dextrin"- a supposed prebiotic fiber that you could mix with water. It definitely helped. But my discipline was another thing. Id frequently fuck up and forget to ingest a "helper" one or two days in a row. And combine that with not enough water. You get the idea. It got to the point that when i did shit, it looked like a bunch of small poop spheres jammed together. I didn't think much of it but then i scared myself.

One day i jammed a bisacodyl suppository up there after several days of no poop, and was horrified to notice there was no ammo in the chamber. This made me panic because there had always been a compacted terd ready to be Elvis'd out of my ass. So i freaked out. I gulped some milk of magnesia (aftet docusate sodium did jack shit), And although I could feel my intestines rumbling and moving all night, I didn't poop within 6 hours like the label said. I went to bed legitimately worried I was going to die from this. We're talking like 3 or 4 days, but for me, that was a looong time. So i went hard on prunes, frosted mini wheats, kefir, taco bell, fiber bars(nature valley lemon poppy seed and blueberry flavors), and avoiding even MORE foods that 'scared' me like burgers and eggs. This worked, but wasnt sustainable. Still, i was avoiding laxatives and suppositories, so that was a win.

So fast forward. Why do I write about jamming little clear plastic bullets up my ass and being constipated? Well, and an effort to do anything but the obvious choice (quit drugs), on a whim, I bought CVS brand probiotic pills. They had a bunch of different kinds but I picked a 15 pack that had several different kinds of good bacteria in them. I made sure to drink the corn dextrin prebiotic stuff since you could mix it with water and I took one of these probiotic pills at night. Now the last time I made it post about this, a bunch of yahoos told me that I needed to do this, that, and the other, and they acted like elitist holier-than-thou know-it-alls. I was taking a bath that I was trying to share something to help people, and I was met with shaming and people telling me that it's so easy to just do XYZ. The post, by the way, was about lubrication helping by itself. I had used lube to get the suppositories up there, since without lube, it was tough as hell.

So anyway, back to the probiotic pills. Eating only one bowl of shreades mini-wheats and eating normal foods, and taking the one probiotic pill before bed, it helped immensely. It made the shit really soft and light colored. I still wasn't maybe super regular, but when I did squeeze one out, it came out easily and was no real straining.

So anyway, that's it, if you're constipated a lot, The probiotic pills help and I suggest you mix them with the corn dextrin prebiotic stuff (beneful is the brand name). I love kefir And it's supposed to be loaded with probiotics but it never had the effect that this one pill did. So yeah, that's it. Probiotic pills help keep the poo sawft and almost fluffy. Even when dehydrated. Like I said, I'm not the smartest light bulb in the spoon drawer, but that generic brand probiotic really worked. Not too loose, not too hard. Just right. Elvis died on the toilet trying to squeeze one out. What if he had just had these probiotic pills? (That's a joke by the way: he died from severe clogged arteries and other stuff- But he did have an enlarged colon because he was a pill poppin opiate addict)

If you find this helps you, let me know. Curious story. Share your tips and tricks. I know for a fact there are a lot of dudes out there who think using a suppository is "ghey". So if you're insecure and you want to just pop a pill and not use laxatives all the time, here ya go.
 
Always found it amazing how good and easy its too brew your one living pro-biotics.
Referring to Kombucha and GingerBeerPlant [GBP]. After some experimenting finally doing cold brews with still water

And you notice the taste changes with changing ingredients and procedure. The main bacteria of Kombucha:
Komagataeibacter spp., Acetobacter spp., and Gluconobacter spp. They aerobic/ need oxygen,
probably why the uncooked still water worked better.
But at least 1 bacteria is able to fixate nitrogen from the air.

The yeasts in kombucha include Zygosaccharomyces spp., Candida spp., Brettanomyces spp., and Saccharomyces spp., among others.
These are anearobic and seem to be more stimulated by Coconut Blossem sugar [and possible raw cane sugar too].
Unlike i thought, then the bacteria.

Thought the healthier te better.

Ginger Beer Plant is cool. its not a Jellyfish like thing but jumping balls. They are sturdy. They can stand Ginger aswell as lemon.
Kombucha can t :cry: And do good on Raw cane sugar, apperently convert it to GABA. They actually remind of Kefir and the mexican ones.

They are both symbiotics, so bacteria and yeasts working together. Only GBP can stand up to 14% Alcohol, Sturdy bacteria.

A yeast Saccharomyces Florentinus (Saccharomyces Pyriformis), and the bacterium Lactobacillus Hilgardii (Brevibacterium Vermiforme).
The lactobacillus is very common in nature but the yeast is quite rare in the wild adding to the Ginger Beer Plant's mystery.

And dont forget Sauerkraut 'oldskool' so withouth vinegar.
The naturally living airbound Lactobacillus kind, can be done on various vegetables.

Its prolongs its time its good, and has the bacteria you seek.

Some daily Oat gurt, would thats suffice ? I always refuse antibiotics unless necessary.
But how many good ones you need, and have as pre-biotic s play a role to.
Mostly undigestiable for us sugars/ fiber like beta-glucanen, inuline and poly-sacharriden.

Very tasty to good bacteria .

What if Elvis wouldn t be stuffin himself wit fiberless/whitewheat, greasy, meaty, sweety junkfood diet,
while being on heavy Opiods.

No Opiod ever constipated me ! But would i been stuffing that no Miralex could save me.

Keep in mind while taking kratom that you are consuming a lot of plant fiber on top of your dietary fiber. High amounts of fiber can cause constipation which is compounded by also being on opioids.

The thing that works best for me is Polyethylene Glycol. My doctor prescribed it when I was on Buprenorphine. I switched over to Kratom when my insurance ran out and despite being on 30g a day or so, I have fairly regular bowel movements. Polyethylene Glycol is an osmotic laxative meaning that all it does is pull more water into the intestines making things move a lot more smoothly. It doesn't carry the same addiction risks as stimulant laxatives where you don't want to take those for a couple of days at most. Polyethylene Glycol you can take however long you need and I've never had problems stopping when I feel that I didn't need it. You can get a pretty big bottle on amazon for less than $20 or have a doctor prescribe it. It's also available OTC. The best part about it is that it doesn't "force" a bowel movement like other laxatives. you'd be fine to take it and leave home to go about your day whereas other laxatives you have to be next to a toilet at all times

Fibers till a certain normall degree do the oposit [10 g fibers a 100 g is a lot 2.5 is not].
Disolveable fibers like the Beta glucanen [with added health effects]
and non disoveable ones like in whole grains.
Don t get you constipated, period.
They stimulate bowel movement. And good gut health.

Like you would if your diet consists on white Wheat/ grains,
Mainly red Meat, fats,Animal Milk and softdrinks. Get constipation.

A OD vitamin C [ascorbic acid] works too as laxative,
or eating 2 Plums more then suggested.
But if your overdue Plums expect Sorbitol effects. Power Poop.
Or probably propylene glycols, why take that ?
[isn t that cooling liquid for a car radiator ?] or Sorbitol or Miralax.
Its wasteless trash, unnatural and subpar.

Otherwise Magnesium Citrate [hydro-oxide is too strong,
bit like Sorbitol or overeating Plums].
A OD of the Citrate, work s as laxative and Mg supplement.

Diet change seems most logical imo.
