I usually go on walks in the  morning but my DH says I'm not doing myself any favors because I usually fill up one of my sweater pockets with starburst so I can snack on them on the way. They are just so small, I can't see how they could have caused all this. 

Have you read the nutritional info on the package..?

Snoopylovesbelle

They have real fruit juice in them they are nutritious and delicious

It's because starburst glue your intestines together like putty. No wonder you can't poop!

Embrace the curves! I am sure hubby will love the extra cushion! O:-)

Also, in all seriousness, skip all that liquid crap and get a squatty potty. Felt ridiculous ordering it but I love mine!

Wait a minute, what's a squatty potty and where do you order them from?

I am telling you, prune juice and metamucil!
If you can't do prunes, cranberry juice would probably be okay too. ;;)

I found this when I googled:

Clinically proven!

That squatting bag looks like two snickers bars in a bag! UGH more fake advice! 

sherks11

But it comes with this guy!

I think maybe your body isn't processing the excess intake of Starburst properly. You may have a 30 pound Starburst blocking up your intestinal tract. It's not much different than a cat with a hairball.

Hopefully it's not impacted.

What if I'm not actually pregnant?! What if I'm just carrying a fermenting starburst wad in my intestines!

Have you had your a/s yet @Lljbean???
Eta they'll be able to tell right away!

Snoopylovesbelle

Ewwww that's just disturbing. What did I just read X_X

Lljbean

No......

Maybe a home Doppler would help? A starburst poop baby wouldn't have a heartbeat

Lol! Squatty potty is legit. I got mine on Amazon. They had a whole thing on shark tank and got laughed off the show but it is fantastic!

This is a good idea.

Are you sure?

Snoopylovesbelle

Yeah pretty sure it might be shaped like a baby but starburst wouldn't have a heart beat

Lljbean

Im so worried I'm carrying a starburst baby, now. My DH is going to be so pissed. 

Krisdee123

So can you just use a regular stool to raise your feet up? Or did he use science to determine the correct angle for squatting? I would agree that I was much more regular while I was in India for a month and all I used were squat toilets. Or it could have been all the curries.

Snoopylovesbelle

Also OP are you getting all the paper off when you unwrap them? I know you said you eat them constantly so you may be not unwrapping them all the way in your quest to satisfy your craving. The wax paper will stop you up really bad. You might have a paper chain leading to your starburst baby

Lljbean

I just really love starburst. 

mamakate1616

@krisdee123 I am not sure. I think science but you could probably use anything that will give you the same angle.

Oh my god. I dont know! Sometimes, I just get really excited and eat them quickly.

Seriously the squatty potty is a great thing, I have invented my own by just pulling the garbage can over to the toilet when I'm pooping, and resting my feet up on that. Same thing!

Maybe you should try skittles instead of starburst, they are smaller and probably just come right through you like colourful rainbow pebbles...

Snoopylovesbelle

Pooping rainbows in real time!

apinkpelican

I don't think I'll ever eat Starburst again after reading this thread

ntyravgsp

@Lljbean you know they make mini unwrapped starburst now? You wouldn't even have to worry about unwrapping them or accidentally ingesting the wax wrapper if you got those.

Snoopylovesbelle

The unwrapped ones aren't the same...it feels like cheating

And also you can eat about 50 at a time!

Don't suggest that. This woman has a serious enough addiction to starburst without you coming along and offering easier, quicker ways to ingest Starburst.
