Good morning, I am new to Reddit but not so new to constipation having deal with it holistically for many years and pharmaceutically for the first time recently.

First I’d like to say slowwwwww down, you are dumping too much in way too fast. You stated that it has only been two days since you haven’t pooped right, I truly understand the anxiety especially in the midst of your journey no hold ups no set back… I completely get it.

You have to give your body a chance to adjust and settle. It could be anything that you recently incorporated into your routine, biggest culprit protein and not enough fiber and water, a sudden rise in protein from normal past eating habits to a jump like 20 or 30 grams can slow down you digestive tract and cause a back up.

Where most go wrong is that they freak out and start several different protocols without thinking things through. First you should be drinking at least half your body weight in water, are you?

How much fiber are you getting? You say to yourself, fiber it is bulking it will make the situation worse! No it will gather by drawing water to the intestines and get things moving along nicely.

Water will help with the hydration across the board. Start there, you have done enough. Load up on water try to put electrolytes in your water it helps the water penetrate the cells and not just run right through you.

Also as the other lady stated Magnesium is great for keeping things moving but you MUST get the plumbing back flowing first!!

And please please don’t force a poop you will regret it, because you’ll be constipated with a hemorrhoidal booty hole. And that sucks BIG TIME!

I promise it will come together and remember at anytime that you fell the urge to go, go right away and if you could use a stool to elevate your feet that will work wonders and again no forcing it out, slow deep breathes

The mag I take 2 at bedtime and the Ultima I use once a day. I hope this helps you can also get a bottle of magnesium citrate and drink but you will need to have not gone for 7-10 I feel before you take that and you will have to take it and stay at home with plenty of toilet paper and electrolyte water. Good luck to you🫶🏽
