when I first came here I was quite the opposite. 2 healthy logs a day. Mind you, for my entire week in Bogota I never shit once....i guess by the time I got to Medellin I was playing catch up.

Maybe you're shiting in your sleep. sleep-shitting....logging off in the middle of the night and no trace the next day,

pitaya is the best but expensive.....but the best thing to do is eat lots of papaya and fiber. when you wake up drink a glass of water and a piece of papaya, but yourself some fiber at la 14 about 15mil and that'll have you going good

I have a buddy who has the same problem. He attributes it to the cheese. I know somebody above is swearing by bananas as a laxative, but I have had doctors tell me they actually harden things up?

Just a good ol' intestinal infection will cure you. Try hand bagged street vendor peanuts.

I was thinking the same thing Mono. But I have to admit, I love the topic. It's hilarious. I never tried the pitaya thing. But never needed the help. Is it similar to maracuya?

Drink lots of water as soon as your get up, pitaya is the best but start with half only, it tastes delicious, so don`t get carried away it is very strong.

Robert Jorge, pitaya it is nothing like maracuya. I think Lcaique posted pics once.

funny, Mononononoke!

And, pC... Lisa's right.
My second time into Colombia, in Pasto... my novia brought me some breakfast in bed.
There was something on the plate, slices of this little fruit laden with seed, and I didn't have a clue... but, when I asked for more, she brought me ONLY another very small slice or two, to which I complained: "HEY! THAT STUFF IS GOOOOOOD! MORE! POR FAVOR!.......

Well... she was lookin out for me.... THANK GOD.... she wouldn't give me more.

But, I think it's one of the tastier fruits ever.
Now, I suppose too, it was just exactly at the best RIPE stage.

I'm not a fruit person so I've never had it but everyone tells me it's delicious. They were selling some at the grocery store by my house here in Denver, almost $4USD each. Ridiculous. And yeah, they'll unclog you in record timing (or so they tell me).

My uncle had to do that with one of my cousins when he was little. We found a guava tree and knocked down all these guavas that he later proceeded to eat. I personally don't like fruit that much so I ate a few while he ate the rest. Dude, the next day he was CLOGGED UP!!! and sure enough, here comes my uncle with a spoon and told him to bend over. XD

kenblanquito says on Jan 27, 2009, 06:02:

A diet consisting of daily generous helpings of fruit, fibre, wholegrain cereals and water should do the trick.
Large amounts of animal fat, frying oils, white rice, white arepas, meat and alcohol will block you up! Anxiety is another culprit and living here out of your natural environment can cause stress.
Think about how you eat when you are back home and compare it with now. Try to have more control over your intake, particularly if the majority of your food is being cooked by a Colombian mother-in-law, for example! You may find that drinking loads of Colombian bottled water does not help either because it probably has very low concentrations of essential minerals; it is just safer microbiologically for us foreigners. For example, London tap water contains 450 milligrams per litre of dissolved salts, bottled water here probably less than 50 and in some cases less than 10. Try taking mineral supplement tablets or drink those special "high salts" drinks that athletes use, they do exist here; we need certain levels of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and sulphate to remain in tip-top condition.
Good luck and sticking missiles up your anus is only a temporary solution!

kenblanquito says on Jan 27, 2009, 06:05:

I rarely have problems here but if I do, I find 2 large hot coffees or teas does the trick! Or if you cannot drink these, a litre of hot water helps too!
