A member asked:
If i was constipated for a few days, how long before the excess waste(the waste that should've been pooped out days ago) clears out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soon: You experienced constipation. You are better but want to know if you are cleaned out. Soon after your constipation clears you will find that your back to baseline. Make sure you are drinking enough water everyday, eat plenty of fiber and assess how you are feeling. Also exercise daily.
