Confession: when I can’t poop, I gain weight—Am I Crazy?

Last week, I weighed 3lbs heavier—then finally had a bowel movement. Scale dropped. Turns out, constipation bloats me with trapped stool (and gas!), tricking the scale. My doc confirmed: temporary weight shifts ≠ fat gain, just waste buildup. Now I chug water, eat fiber, and stop panic-weighing. Still, that “stuck” feeling messes with my head. Anyone else stress over this? #constipationrelief #bloating #healthmyths
