I d'know, but I'm having a bit of a strain to use the toilet. I have a feeling the poop got "compacted" and is too wide around to (comfortably) fit through my hole. I tried taking a few squares of laxative , it made my stomach feel a bit bubbly, but not what I expected. Ain't got no enemas, got some off-brand metamucil though. I tried that, didn't really help. I'm desperate! I go to Six Flags tomorrow, got to poop tonight, can't go to the store! Anything that'll loosen/soften/completely make my poop watery?

drink a lot of water... the stool is like....too hard u know? u might be deyhdrated, so it's not soft like it should be. sometimes coffee can work...also, try exercising. that might stimulate your bowels
also, try eating some fruits, and anything w/ fiber...i suggest some type of Metamucil powder that u can put into orange juice and drink daily.......
good luck

eat bran cereal,Take a hot shower when affected. Also drink cranberry and prune juice, lots of fruit and for some, avoid bananas. Apple juice may also work,Drink a tablespoon of corn syrup in a cup of water,Eat more fruit such as prunes, pears, grapes, orange juice, and papaya,Drink a warm cup of coffe to help with constipation. This is about all I can think of! Hope you get better! )

Try prune juice (yuck) or apple juice.
I will sometimes eat hot salsa and that does the trick.

Have you tried stretching exercises?
Don't push too hard or you'll get hemorroids from the straining and pushing. Those can be painful!

Go get the sugar free Russell Stover breakfast bars. Eat 2 of them. They are good and they work in about 2 hrs!

Supposedly salt water is a pretty good laxative. I wouldn't drink more than a glass or two though.
Or you could do what accountants do. That's work it out with a pencil.

drink hot milk or hot tea...just drink anything hot and possibly with caffeine since you can't go to the freaking store. it will work like a charm. get some gloves and manually disimpact your crap if nothing else works. or wait, maybe going on the roller coasters will bring the $hit out of you. LOL.

drink at least a glass of water every hour. milk + mango makes me go to the toilet real quick. oatbran + milk cleans your bowels. take a walk, it helps to move your bowels.
try asking the chemist for coloxyl, it's a stool softener.

drink coffee that helps and a cigarette. or try some exercise. Good luck its a terrible feeling. The laxatives should work but they take time.

Run to the store and get some natural sweetened prune juice,
its not the best tasting thing, but it works within 5 to 15 minutes, and you'll be clear, before your trip, good luck!!!
