Constipation and weight...seriously?!


Question:

Constipation and weight...seriously?

I know this may sound kinda silly, but I was just wondering if you were constipated, and you didn't got for 2 or 3 days, would you be a couple pounds heavier?

Just wondering because I'm pregnant and occasionally irregular...and I've noticed my weight increases a couple pounds sometimes and will eventually go back down, without any other change in activity or eating habits. And yes, I always weigh first thing in the morning after peeing, so I know it's as accurate as it can be.


Answers:

I can only tell u in Kilos as I am an aussie but urine and feces can accound for 1/2 - 1 kilo weight change within a day so if you haven't passed any feces for a few days it could account for a few kilos of weight gain.
