[rucky]

1. coffee n/t

[populistmom]

46. Coffee works

It works with asthma and other respiratory problems too by opening the airway.

[Don_G]

2. Not White Castles!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Ewe!

With the mystery meat inside? YUCK!

[wtmusic]

5. It's not the meat that's mysterious

It's those funky little holes they punch in the patties.

*Those* are mysterious...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. Yeah..I fell through one once

[sistersofmercy]

4. Oh you're from MO!

Those things are only good after Soulard, blues and beer. Yikes and then sleep alone!

[BiggJawn]

9. YES!!! Maggot Muffins!! Belly Grenades!

Culpepper would have reccommended them for "opening the bowels" in his day if they'd been around...

[BlackVelvetElvis]

28. My yankee friends don't call them sliders for nothing!

[sistersofmercy]

6. Other

Never a subject that comes up for me. But I'dd have to say, one time I ate greens and they went through me like a laser beam, so if anyone out there has a problem of a stubborn sort of nature, cook some greens.

[Ediacara]

7. Cascara

A tree that looks like an alder, but without any insect pites in its leaves.

[Zomby Woof]

10. ZombyCoffee

Cures just about everything short of dryness of the kneecaps!

[SOteric]

11. A personal recipe I call "Minute Lube Muffins"

80% Bran studded with dried fruit.

I eat a pretty healthy diet though, so..it's not really necessary.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

25. I can get that.

For some reason, I've always perceived you as being quite regular :shrug:

[DS1]

12. Waterskiing

[Endangered Specie]

13. Bojangles:

2 Sausage biscuits, 2 butter and cheese biscuits... does it everytime. If you arenot constipated, and you eat this, you will flow like niagra falls!

If you have Bojangles, eat anything at Taco Bell, that oughta do the trick.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. ROFLPIMP!

[salin]

[BigMcLargehuge]

17. double helping of salsa and corn

wash it down with an extra 16 ounces of water and let the fun begin.

[Pale_Rider]

18. Orange juice and go for a walk ...

[Myra]

20. Stop doing narcotics.

That's what causes it in the first place.

:evilgrin:

[koopie57]

21. oreo cookies

and a cigarette...

[FloridaJudy]

22. I discovered this by accident

Since constipation has never been a problem for me, but...

Don't *ever* nibble your way through an entire package of those black licorice whips while surfing the net, unless you really want to spend all the next day in the bathroom!

[stanwyck]

44. Black licorice is my cure

no one else in my family likes it. I can buy a package and it lasts for months.

[MikeH]

23. Work It Out With Pencil

I have heard that that is what a mathematician is supposed to do. Though being mathematically inclined myself, I am not so sure that I would agree.

[gmoney]

27. no wonder the freepers think we're a bunch of idiots...

[BlackVelvetElvis]

29. Not idiots. They are incapable of having fun!

They got their heads up their asses.

[salin]

30. making this thread, particularly

painful... {j/k}

[scarlet_owl]

49. Maybe that's their way of relieving constipation.

It must be a chronic problem for them.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

32. Uh oh..you posted on this thread

Now they will think you are too.

[crimson333]

31. Taco Bell

magic works everytime or so I've heard;-)

[caledesi]

33. 2 or 3 beers and all is well. nt

[RebelOne]

36. 2 or 3 glasses of wine will get those bowels moving.

[VOX]

34. Geez, first we post photos and now we're discussing bowel habits...

Guess DU really *is* family! And now we can better picture one another sitting on the can...

BTW, lots of raw carrots is my weapon of choice.

[BritishHuman]

35. Milk of Magnesia...

Once upon a time, I had terrible indigestion and heartburn, so I took a big swig from the bottle.

Then I read the instructions on the side - two teaspoons for indigestion, two tablespoons for constipation. I estimated I'd had around three tablespoons.

The next day was pretty uninteresting, but I did catch up on some reading.

:hurts:

[no_hypocrisy]

37. Psyllium husks in juice. Available at healthfood stores.

Gentle, no flavor, should be part of daily regimen even if no constipation.

[Lefty48197]

38. Popcorn with lots of margarine

Don't ask how I know though.

[Padraig18]

39. Never been constipated in my life, but...

...thanks for all the 'cures', for future reference. :)

[NashVegas]

40. Other: DARK BEER!

Learned this from one of my grandmothers.

Some Mexican food is also helpful.

41. Play the whole of "Hotel California" album

It'll go right through you, although it will probably make you sick on the way.

[Lars39]

42. Somehow this thread kinda ties in with this classic:

:7

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

43. Thanks Lars but as you can see above

This is why freepers think we're stupid....of course, if they ever conducted a no nonsense inquiry into constipation, they might just figure out how full of shit they have been all these years which is why they believed it when MR Ten Gallon Hat as A Prop told them there were WMD's.

[Lars39]

48. Truer words were never spoken.

prevention is the best cure.

Constipation is your body's way of telling you the stuff you've been eating isn't worth a shit. :D
