Taking extraordinarily long shits. It’s used as a laxative.
Oh it's very often not constipation that causes those long shits when you have IBS or IBD, and a laxative is the last thing you'd want. Both do potentially cause constipation, but there's better laxatives than magnesium – although apparently specifically with IBD magnesium might help with symptoms but we're not talking laxative doses
Got it. Thank you for letting me know!
Welcome to the wonderful world of people pooping too much because their bodies hate them.
What could possibly cause a long shit other than the shit moving too slow?
Diarrhea, it's great fun. Can be painful too depending on what kind of IBS or IBD someone has
Damage to the colon, or whatever muscles are responsible.
Idk I kinda liked those laxatives they gave me before my colonoscopy. Not eating and forcing down 3ltrs of foul liquid sucked, but afterwards I felt great!
But the deal with IBS and IBD is that they can cause varying… uh, levels of diarrhea too – a purge might feel great but that shit (🥁) gets old pretty fast
