[TMI/NSFL] A quick question for all the opie users

[Kota]

I have constipation a lot due to my poor diet, but it's been worse since I started dabbling in script DHC. Bisacodyl and senna have stopped working. What does work? How do you handle the body odour that I find results from constipation?

 

[Sammy G]

Fruit and veg. Juice or a smoothie if you can't take the texture. Magnesium. Coffee.

A day or two without opies will usually solve the problem though. And I'm always caked in patchouli oil, so odours don't tend to faze me.

Milk of Magnesia. Its the only remedy that really works for me. It transforms concrete asteroids into easy very long smooth snakes.

Strangely very few high street retail outlets stock it anymore, so i have to order it from ebay or amazon. Dunno about the BO thing other than the obvious things like showering and brushing your teeth more often.

 

[Sammy G]

She was referring to the odour the body gives off when constipated. Not general hygiene. :D

Magnesium tablets are widely available, and pretty much do the same as milk of magnesia.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Yeah, but wouldnt the same things still apply? Ive not noticed any constipated body odour. Other than if you have a nasty case of 'Turtles Head' or something, for which manual excavation methods may be required

 

[Sammy G]

Depends how sensitive you are to subtle odours. I can pick it up on myself after a couple of days. And no, showering doesn't get rid of it unfortunately.

Thanks for the 'turtle's head' image.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

haha, you're welcome.

 

[Kota]

I'll try out the milk of magnesia. Thank you!

Thanks for the 'turtle's head' image.

Have you not heard that expression before? How about "touching cloth"?

I took great pleasure in training up my former German colleague in these expressions, who found them hilarious and propagated them throughout Deutschland. In return, he informed me that they refer to a sphincter as a "rosetta", like a tightly bunched up rose or something. Every time I came back from the toilet he shouted "Turtle's Head?" at me. Great days.

 

[Sammy G]

Great days indeed. :D

I'm familiar with both expressions. I just didn't expect MDB to break 'turtle's head' out in the afternoon. I'm sensitive about these things.

Eat aload of sugar free mints, drink coffee.

Magnesium citrate.

Brand name Picolax in the UK. Most miserable day of my life. And they didn't let me see the video from the capsule endoscopy the following day

 

[lurching]

Lactulose.

Too much magnesium can cause more constipation.

Sugerfree stuff is laxative cos of the sweeteners, I'd avoid overdoing that as it can cause cramping with opiates IME, and also: avoid bisacodyl at all costs

..not sure about the body odor "I can pick it up on myself after a couple of days." I'm not at the center of my own universe though ;-)

I've tried lactulose, but it makes me feel sick. Maybe that's something I'll have to put up with.
