Will I gain weight from not having bowel movements?

Answer 1

Yes!

Poo weighs a lot!

Answer 2

Everyone needs to have bowel movements so even if you get bloated from being constipated you will lose that and feel better once you let it all out

Answer 3

You may or may not gain weight but the bloating certainly makes you feel that way! Everywhere you read it says to eat more fiber and drink water--this is frustrating because it makes you feel even more bloated--you have to keep up this routine and be sure to at least walk everyday.

Answer 4

Correct. The excess poundage from the result of constipation will increase the mass inside the intestines leading to a slight increase in weight. Over a long period of time, this condition leads to obesity.

Answer 5

Yes, and worse...you need to have the blockage surgically removed if you can't pass it naturally. I've read somewhere that the average person carries around 5-10 pounds of waste normally.

Answer 6

uhmm, u need a high fiber diet if you dont have normal bowel movements so eat stuff high in fiber, like bell peppers and so on

Answer 7

The weight that you gain will be from the poisoning of your body.
It can and will kill you.
Seek medical treatment for this problem ASAP!

Answer 8

If your not having any bowel movements you'll die.

Answer 9

You may gain weight if you don't evacuate but it's not like you gain fat. Once you go it's gone.

Answer 10

Yes and you'll also gain some serious health problems, you better do something about it.

Answer 11

You won't lose fat. You will get a terrible stomach ache though--those waste products have to come out.
