No, it's a saline solution 'gun' from the pharmacy, similar to this, works in seconds....😵

 

yeah that works too but the bum gun goes a lot further than 133ml.

I don't think that's how it works, in fact, the type had to use, the nozzle was about 50ml long, I believe the solution has the effect of relaxing everything in the pooh track, and it does, with me, it took about a minute for the unbelievable landslide.........😝

Sounds like you might be lacking in proper nutrition

 you need more animal fat in your diet  not "sawdust" drinks and chemicals

 

Eat animal-based foods. This means no:

Fruits Vegetables Legumes grains Sugars Nuts Seeds And anything else that isn’t meat

 

What are your typical three meals a day and snacks with this diet?  And how much does it cost?

I eat plenty of fruit and vegetables but at 82 I'm finding my bowels just aren't regular any more. Sometimes it's 3 or 4 days between poops. If I take some of the powdered "Posh Medica" brand of high fibre for constipation it really cleans me out, but not sure if regular use of that kind of product is a good idea.

Appreciate any sensible suggestions to help with the problem.

 

Funny how some things stick in your mind. I remember reading Stephen King's "The Stand" where Mother Abigail was thanking god for having had a decent bowel movement. Sounds like irregular bowels are something we all have something to look for if we live long enough. Yay?
