TIL: a 28-year-old woman went 45 days without pooping in 2013

What’s the longest time that somebody has been constipated?

It's the 10 years anniversary of her poop 🥳🎉

Ohhh maybe the guy trying not to poop for 3 days is just paying homage to her
- Yep now it all makes sense.
Hope she had a poop knife
- You can take a man out of reddit, but you can't take the reddit out of a man.
  
  Using the poop knife for an off label use is actually a fairly efficient way of removing reddit and any number of website-related knowledge from your average unsuspecting man or woman.
  
  Damn straight
- I'm glad to see the poop knife reference here!
I have this anti nausea medication I take sometimes that gives me major constipation (zofran) and even like 4-5 days fucking sucks. Can't imagine 45, I would die
- Yeah, I've solved the no-poop riddle too: scoop 4 or 5 heaping spoonfuls of cream of wheat into your mouth and swallow with water.
  I couldn't eat/poop for over a week. I just drank juice/milk for sustenance, and gently massaged my guts every day until things started slowly working again. I thought I was going to die/have surgery. Weirdest thing was that I never got hungry. Technically, getting full quickly was my goal, so massive success!
Looks like we need no poop community
- No shit
just google fecal impaction. new fear unlocked
