A member asked:
Can you gain weight from being constipated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Especially if you continue to eat and don't have bowel movements. The weight gain is usually minimal as most folks are uncomfortable enough after a few days to take something to initiate a bowel movement.
