A 36-year-old woman has appeared on a Channel 4 show to get help with her constipation which meant she wasn't pooing for weeks and it was by cutting one ingredient out of her diet that helped to relieve the problem. The programme, Know Your S**t: Inside Our Guts, aims to help people with many different dietary problems.
Emerald explained why she came to Poo HQ, the base in the show, she said: "I've come to Poo HQ as I don't go for a poo very often, sometimes it could be a couple of weeks." She also explained that some of her other symptoms include bloating and being gassy.
The lack of pooing can cause her pain and mean she is swollen and this is something Emerald has had to deal with her whole life. The bloating can also cause her to "look pregnant" and as a model, she finds this hard to work around meaning she won't eat at all before shoots.
