I suggest you eating an apple. Altough having a diarrhea isn't really a better option.
Ummm, well, I agree this isn't a very pleasant topic to write about, but then since this question has been asked here and since I come from a family of doctors, I thought I should try and explain what I know. Being constipated means your bowel movements are difficult or happen less often than normal. The symptoms are any/all of these - few bowel movements, trouble having a bowel movement (straining), hard or small stools, a sense that everything didn't come out, swollen abdomen or abdominal pain, vomiting.
What a load of shit!!

Now that the prayers are over, would someone please pass the Ex-Lax?

Rusty_Gunn: Soo, you had the "Haribo" effect happen?
Yeah I also used this as a prank one time on someone too. We both loved reeses cups and I swapped out a small bag of my sugar free ones into his non sugar free bag when he went to the bathroom. Sooooo I ate the normal ones and he ate the sugar free ones. The kicker being after he came out of the bathroom to come back and play unreal tournament, I went to the bathroom just to hide the toilet paper.

While playing and he was eating them he kept telling me they tasted different trying to get me to try one. I declined using my diabetes as my defense saying maybe they just changed something in the recipe stating that mine tasted different too. Which of course they did, mine were full of sugar while his were full of laxative.

About three hours later he jumped up and ran to the bathroom, later I heard the screams there's no more toilet paper. At that point, I couldn't hold it in anymore, I laughed so hard I cried. It was a good day...For me. My sugar went a little high, but my problem was fixed much easier than his.

After laughing and then feeling remorse because I was well aware of what he was going through, I cracked open the door and tossed in a few rolls of toilet paper like grenades.

But yeah, I no longer buy ANYTHING labeled sugar free that is meant to have sugar in it. With the exception of someone needing help to open the flood gates, or on April fools.

Green_Hilltop: Basically, I have a slighter slower digestive system than most people, although according to my Google searches there are plenty of others who have it the same - I used to go and poo only once a week, and that was normal for me. Now I usually go every three days.

For me, that's perfectly normal and feels okay, but it makes me wonder - how often do you guys need to poo? And how does it feel when you're constipated?
The best remedy for increasing bowel movements is to drink a couple sips of redbeet juice before meals. It's a cheap and quick fix and it works so well that your poo will come out smoothly like butter. Just try it out, you'll thank me later - guaranteed.

I guess that means you're full of shit. *ba-dum-tish~*
You might have a magnesium deficiency. In fact a lot of people have it, due to several reasons, and if the commonly recommended amount really is enough is questionable.

Other indicators would be: cramps, depression, (social) anxiety, avolition, sleep problems, etc.

If you decide to try out a supplement you have to know that only some are of quality and actually have an effect

I didn't start experiencing proper constipation until I moved to Tennessee and from there to New Zealand.

The dairy is less refined in farming areas and that's where constipation will double you over with pain.

If anyone wants an idea what proper constipation feels like I am certain it's where the Alien's writer came up with the idea for the cafeteria scene in the first Alien movie.
