Cant shit away from home

[dogman]

Whenever i am away from home, i cant shit, now this ussally isnt a problem, but when go on like a 5 day camp, i dont shit for the 5 days, now i know this isnt healthy, but i cant help it, i just dont feel like shitting

Now my main problem is, i am going away with the school for a 28 day expidition overseas, so what am i supposed to do, not shit for 28 days, this would make me seriously sick, what do you think i should do, i need help

Why can't you? Are you nervous or shy about it?

It's impossible to not shit for 28 days. What's bothering you that you can't shit at a different place away from home?

I know that I don't like to, but I do it if I have to.

its not that i am nervous or shy, i just dont feel like shitting, i dont feel the need to shit, almost like my body stops making shit (dont worry, i know it still does)

maybe you haven't been away from your house long enough to think you need to. Sometimes I don't feel like I need to for awhile, maybe a few days, but it will happen. If you feel nervous that you'll get sick because you won't be able to for 28 days, you should talk to someone

yer i dont know what im going to do, b'se we r going to a 3rd world country, so it might be hard to get the proper medical services if i need them, but im hoping i can just do it and it doesnt come to that, i dont know why, but i just cant shit

does anyone else have ideas how i could make myself shit?

Trust me, your body will take care of itself on its own. You'll go at some point because its gotta go somewhere. As long as you don't physically try to resist, you'll be fine.

i hope so, and i wont resist, i know i wont, because i dont want to get sick

It's probably just something psychological. Your body will most likely take care of its self when it needs to. Having a bowel movement is your body's way of removing excreations. You will at sometime have to do that. I'm sure you will having to have a bowel movement at one time. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

take laxitives

[dogman]

take laxitives

yer i was kinda hoping not to get to that point (drugs), can anyone suggest anything else that could help

[robbiehay1]

eat lots of fruit, it makes you poo lol other than that you may have to use laxativei do know prune juice works aswell

[Triple7]

Food with fiber should help, too. Dietary fiber can be found on a lot of fruits, like apples and pears with skin. Popcorn and oatmeal have some too.

[myskias]

well, you can just like force a crap out, if u havent taken a dump in like 2-3 days then u can probably force one out haha

[Techno Monster]

when people go away from home, they usally don`t eat normaly... this could be a factor.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

Actually, myskias, "forcing" yourself to have a bowel movement could cause more problems than it would fix. A lot of people think that a healthy person has a bowel movement every day but, actually, a person could be going to the restroom anywhere from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. As long as it's easy to go, and there aren't any obvious problems, it's fine. So there would be no need to try and force a bowel movement, risking injury, when nothing's wrong.

Part of not being able to use the toilet outside of your own home could have to do with comfort. If you take an animal out of its normal environment and shut it up somewhere unfamiliar, it often will refuse to go to the bathroom at all until it becomes absolutely necessary, because it does not feel comfortable enough to let its guard down. Just remind yourself that the bathroom is safe to use and that you're no more likely to be walked in on or anything like that, and relax. As has been said, as long as you're not trying to prevent a bowel movement, your body will take care of it on its own and eventually it'll have to come out. I'd stay away from laxatives, they will make your trip unpleasant. Most work by increasing the amount of water that is absorbed into your GI tract, and you can guess what happens because of that. You will be spending a lot of time in the bathroom, and it will not be fun. Unless you're really severely constipated, don't do it.

Before your trip, try spending more time out of the house. Spend the night with a friend, perhaps. The more time you're away from home, the more chance you have of needing to use the facilities away from home. I suspect that once you manage to do it once, maybe twice, you won't have so much of a problem anymore.

ok thank you everyone that has helped, i do think that it may just be nerves, but i do have a few camps between now and then so hopefully i get over this, anyway i will take all of your suggestions and i think that if i do really start to freak out, i will just go to the doctor and see what he suggests but thank you for all your advice
