: I am not sure why you need to drink 5-7 liters a day. What do you mean by train hard? Have you ever been checked if you have any condition which causes a lot of voiding (polyuria) and you cannot keep up with drinking enough fluid and it may exacerbate constipation? Diabetes insipidus is one of such disease.
