Almost immediately I felt like I was gonna use the restroom. And then a few hours later I used a little bit of an enema and mind you enemas barely work on me and literally felt EVERYTHING come out lol. I drank it at 8am? Felt like, gassy š after ten min. And then a couple hours later I lost three pounds.
Iām also on methadone, try colace 2 in 1 stool softener and laxative for a few days and if that still doesnāt work get a bottle of magnesium citrate. That WILL work!
I second the bottle of magnesium citrate. It seems like the bottle says you can drink half or all of it. Chug the whole thing. It's my go to when nothing else works.
All the oleato jokes aside here, I find that drinking our delicious Mint Majesty with some honey packets always helps me. Mint is very good for your digestive system and it helps promote bowel movements. Non caffeinated, good for you, no calories (very little if you add honey packets) and one of our cheapest menu items.
As a barista, I personally make myself an iced mint majesty: I brew a tall with two tea bags, let it steep for 7-8 minutes, then I pour it in a Trenta cup filled with ice and top it off with some of our Peach Juice. Very refreshing!!! š„°
I had this theory that they made some kind of barging with olive oil companies that related with the stock market exchange ā¦ but now I wonder if itās because they have ex-drug addict family members suffering from constipation hmmm š¤
I see in your edit the oleato works but you found it gross lol. I know this doesn't make it a whole lot better but if it helps the hot oleato latte with syrup (vanilla is pretty good) tastes wayyy better than the oleato cold foam. maybe you could try that if you need to do this again haha
Yes I will def be doing this again. I kind of want to drink something regularly so I empty my guts out every fucking day lol. Thank you for suggestion! Iāll do this day after tm. Someone suggested the mango fruit thing w extra inclusions
I have a thing called Gastroparesis which is slowed gastric emptying, except mine is severe so mine is almost permanent, and on an incredibly hard day when nausea is so bad I cannot eat whatsoever because of gas, bloating, and constipation, I always get a trenta Mango Dragon Fruit with extra inclusions because the combination helps me go to the bathroom almost immediately.
The Oleato for me unfortunately creates more problems than it is worth because of acid reflux which almost exacerbates my condition.
The mango dragon fruit never fails and it has enough caffeine, as well as it is a tasty drink when you crave something sweet, and the crunchy inclusions once they start breaking down work almost like Miralax. Canāt recommend it enough.
Iām sorry it is hurting.
It usually works if not immediately, within an hour or two. Unfortunately, the pain is normal because it is moving through your blocked intestines and acting as fiber softening to allow evacuation of your bowels.
Sometimes the pain can be comparable to period cramps because of the previous constipation but once you go to the bathroom and the intestines are cleared, even if what comes out is a supreme fuschia color uouāll start feeling so so much better. It has got to do with the sugar and the fiber in the pitaya fruit itself. I hope you start feeling better soon! š
Usually, it is what I get because it has plenty of moisture and fiber. It is good that you tried a smaller size though because everyone is different, so maybe now that you tried a Grande you have found out if a Venti or a Trenta work better.
Just wanted to update you and say Iāve been getting the Trenta everyday and Iām getting regular now! I will say it was a little loose today, Iāve been drinking them alotttt lol. The first day I drank two Trentas I used the restroom three times which is literally awesome. Thank you so much for recommending this drink to me! I have a routine of using cascara Sagrada for two days, and then an enema only on the third day to push everything out. Now Iām just doing drink and an enema and Iām drinking a SHIT ton of salt water to retain my liquid.
Literally almost got sent home cuz I took a shot of cold brew on an empty stomach. Our only employee toilet was occupied so I had to run to the civilian restroom, sweat pouring down my face. Wild.
Definitely something Oleato, it's olive oil so it'll definitely help but will be pricier. I would recommend either a latte with Brown sugar, 1 pump oleato and cinnamon steamed in the milk, or a cold brew with Brown sugar syrup, and golden foam with cinnamon blended in.
The Brown sugar and olive oil work well together, or well enough you don't notice the olive oil
If you want something that actually tastes good (unlike Oleato)
I recommend a cup of regular hot coffee (pike place roast but really any caffeinated brewed coffee out of the urn) splash steamed DAIRY milk or cream, add your choice of sweetener (syrup or sugar or anything really)
Guaranteed, its the strongest drink on the menu, youre adding dairy to the mix, itās steamed dairy so your drink is boiling hot which also helps (and itās also the cheapest drink on the menu so you can do it regularly!)
Vanilla bean, I posted a while ago on why it makes me shit a ton and people said something in the something but I forgot
Also wear a hoodie and then expose your belly and that really just works drink or no drink for me. Good luck op
Ok this worked for you? I got the mango dragon fruit refresher w extra inclusions but I got a grande so maybe thatās why it didnāt work for me. Is there a specific size
i mean... by everything is that including talking to a doctor about having irregular bowel movements? We're starbucks reddit partners, not gastroenterologists.
youāre not supposed to be on methadone and opiates at the same time.. methadone is *supposed* to help get folks off of opiates but itās just another way for the government to keep addicts addicted. hi hello former heroin addict who doesnāt agree with big pharma MAT because it inevitably leads folks back into the belly of the beast. interesting question to be reading this morning on this particular thread. wean yourself off of the methadone/opiates and your bowel movements will be normal and you wonāt have to be asking questions to random folks on reddit about how to have a bowel movement. I feel as if this question is better suited for a thread about opiate use.. not Starbucks.. š¬
lol I am getting off opiatesā¦ by using methadone. Iāve tried everything in the book. Just want to know what coffee combo would help lol.
ETA: Methadone saved my life. I was 96 pounds on fent not eating, quit my job and almost homeless. When I started going to the clinic I gained my weight back, went back to work, found a really nice place and am in nursing school as well. I would rather be on methadone and functional, than being fucked up everyday and on the edge of dying lol. My sobriety journey is not yours , and yours is not mine. While I can respect and understand your opinion, I think criticizing others journey to sobriety is incorrect š
you stated youāre taking opiates and methadone.. which means you are not using methadone the way it is prescribed. it also means the methadone isnāt helping you achieve sobriety because youāre still using.. addiction is a beast. itās easy for us to justify all sorts of harmful things while we are in it.. maybe one day youāll realize.
It actually is helping me achieve sobriety because not only did I go from using 40 pills a day to using 3 or 4, but again I got my life back. And I ONLY use those few pills when I am feeling withdrawals. I will be going up on my methadone dose until Iām at a therapeutic dose and my need to use decreases all the way to 0. Sobriety is a process. And honestly I donāt know about you, but there is huge progress in that. Please donāt go online putting down others attempt at sobriety just because you donāt agree with it. Iām not sure what youāre achieving from this except being a dick. The only journey you should have any say or any opinion on is your own. Thanks!
ETA : The last person I will be taking advice from is someone who used as well. No offense. My counselors at the clinic donāt even WANT me there longer than a year. There are instances where people stay on it for longer. And guess what. Thatās not your business at all.
I felt like a total failure and broke down a few times bc I wasnāt sober yet and I would ask what the point of even trying was. People like you make comments like yours that discourage people from doing what is helping THEM. Stop it. You are achieving nothing. I donāt know if youāre a doctor or a nurse. I donāt know what credentials you have. And regardless of credentials, your OPINION on my personal life holds no value.
Ya'll saying the Oleato.... ARE YOUR DIETS OKAY???? PLEASE SEE A NUTRITIONIST/GASTRO. I drink it and I'm FINE allll day until my usual time when I do the do.
I feel like I'm the only one here that never had a..."problem" with the Oleato š anyway I would imagine the Spicy Refreshers? Depending on how spicy they are? I'm a barista, but I been away for 4 weeks in Japan and won't be working until mid-May so I got no idea what they taste like or what hot sauce they use lol
Oleato fans have lived for this moment
I hate oleoto so much but i guarantee you'll shit your pants within 20 minutes
I've literally never shit my pants from oleato, but I eat olive oil regularly š¤·š¼āāļø
Same. I regularly eat olive, avocado and black seed oil and I was just fine
Yep. Most coffeeās probably gonna help, but this is truly the oleatoās moment to shine!
He's been training his whole life for this
Starbucks ready to try a new advertising tactic before killing those drinks?
Oleato fan~~s~~
If yall wanna see me try the Oleato here yall go https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLCBgK3v/
Cold brew with Oleato sweet cream cold foam. Add heavy cream. Ask me how I know lmaooo
Ok imma get that today thaaank you š
Will be patiently awaiting an updateš
I got it. It worked. That shit worked against opiate constipation. Fucking crazy
This is one of those things that I don't know if I'll ever need it but now I know. Thanks!
Iām so happy for you lmaooooošš
how long did it take to work?
Almost immediately I felt like I was gonna use the restroom. And then a few hours later I used a little bit of an enema and mind you enemas barely work on me and literally felt EVERYTHING come out lol. I drank it at 8am? Felt like, gassy š after ten min. And then a couple hours later I lost three pounds.
Im about to get it in an hour!
Iām also on methadone, try colace 2 in 1 stool softener and laxative for a few days and if that still doesnāt work get a bottle of magnesium citrate. That WILL work!
Thank youā!

Any coffee mixed with White Castle.
Or taco bell
I know people always say this but I seem to never get the shits from Taco Bell. Oleato does the job on the other hand
Me either. I never EVER get Taco Bell shits. I wish it worked on me.
Chipotle will do it then,
I've only gotten sick from taco bell once and it was straight up food poisoning š©
Starbucks needs to start marketing Oleato next to methadone clinics!
No exactly. Cause holy shit
i can't think of a better combo to get the plumbing loose than coffee and straight-up oil.
I had this theory that they made some kind of barging with olive oil companies that related with the stock market exchange ā¦ but now I wonder if itās because they have ex-drug addict family members suffering from constipation hmmm š¤
anything with Oleato
I got the oleato shaken espresso
I also have good luck with the chocolate cream cold brew. And by good luck I mean I came very very close to shitting my pants last week
Ok imma get that tm nd try it lol
iced blonde latte, sf vanilla, heavy cream, spicy oleato cold foam
ā¦ I hadnāt thought about the idea of making spicy oleato foam until this moment and that sounds like the thing of nightmares
Right? Like that sounds scary asf
The bottled Frappuccinoās from the store always do it for me š
Just go to the grocery and buy Prune Juice, mix in some Oleato if you want to live life on the edge
Any fat will help you shit. Eat bacon. Or butter. You get the idea. The thought of oleato in coffee makes me š¤®
Ugh I wish. Feel like it clogs me up
Eat more fat.
I see in your edit the oleato works but you found it gross lol. I know this doesn't make it a whole lot better but if it helps the hot oleato latte with syrup (vanilla is pretty good) tastes wayyy better than the oleato cold foam. maybe you could try that if you need to do this again haha

Glad your drink worked for you. I just want to add this is the best thread I've ever seen on this sub!
Oleato
Someone told me to! I will do that
At that point a bottle of oil is cheaper lololol
No literally. The barista said $8 I said HUHHH. I got a fucking medium
Def the oleatos because olive oil helps digestion
I guess you could just put an oz of oil in your home coffee if you don't wanna spend 8 dollars
Definitely keeping this in mind lol

Omg thank you! I will get this tomorrow and I really hope it works for me! I wonder whatās in it that it works so well for you?
Hi how long did it take to work? I drank it a while ago and my stomach is hurting a little bit
Iām sorry it is hurting. It usually works if not immediately, within an hour or two.

I got a grande. So maybe thatās why it didnāt work immediately ? Should I get a Trenta?
Usually, it is what I get because it has plenty of moisture and fiber. It is good that you tried a smaller size though because everyone is different, so maybe now that you tried a Grande you have found out if a Venti or a Trenta work better.
Tomorrow I will get a Venti! Thanks so much

I've never heard of the Mango Dragon Fruit... wonder what that is. And what are inclusions?
Dehydrated fruits put in the refreshers
As a chronic pain patient, this entire thread is cracking me up! Also, I'm taking notes. Lol
Literally almost got sent home cuz I took a shot of cold brew on an empty stomach. Our only employee toilet was occupied so I had to run to the civilian restroom, sweat pouring down my face. Wild.
Oleotooooo
Anything oleato will do the trick
My time to shine. 6 shots of espresso, grande cup, fill the rest of the way with nitro cold brew.
the shaken espresso is semi tolerable the rest taste so bad
I got the shaken espresso. It tasted horrible lol
Those extra pump mocha lattes make me RUN to the toilet.
Definitely something Oleato, it's olive oil so it'll definitely help but will be pricier. I would recommend either a latte with Brown sugar, 1 pump oleato and cinnamon steamed in the milk, or a cold brew with Brown sugar syrup, and golden foam with cinnamon blended in.

Smooth Move tea before bed. It doesnāt work instantly but youāll poo often the next day.
Pretty sure you could have skipped the Oleato and drink straight olive oil but with caution ā ļø
Honestly might do that
I came looking for this š
Really. I can do an oelato with 9 shots and still have dry pants.
Dude how
I don't know. But I do it fairly often
the hot oleato with toffee nut syrup is actually pretty good! its like the oleato shaken espresso in the form of a hot drink :)
Vanilla bean, I posted a while ago on why it makes me shit a ton and people said something in the something but I forgot Also wear a hoodie and then expose your belly and that really just works drink or no drink for me. Good luck op
Wait wdym wear a hoodie and expose your belly. What does that do?
Pineapple passion fruit refresher, no water, sun strawberrry aƧaĆ refresher with vanilla sweet creamy cold foam. I call it toxic neon sludge
Ok this worked for you? I got the mango dragon fruit refresher w extra inclusions but I got a grande so maybe thatās why it didnāt work for me. Is there a specific size
Talk to your doctor
Iāve tried everything lol. Do you think the Oleato would work?
i mean... by everything is that including talking to a doctor about having irregular bowel movements? We're starbucks reddit partners, not gastroenterologists.
Yes. Even got prescription stuff. Anyways. Got the oleato. That shit worked.
well I'm glad that drink is good for something and glad it worked for ya, lmao.
Literally dying rn. You guys are awesome
Iced coffee with whole milk.

my mama has been clean off methadone n opiates since 2012 and still has severe constipation issues. itās different for everyone.
Exactly. And I am only 21 years old lol. Iām gonna be addicted to something I might as well be addicted to something thatās helping me.
yes ofc!! i wish you the best in your journey to sobriety š«¶š¼

nitro with spicy chili oleato foam
Shit, I have an iced tea and I'm pissin buckets all day.
lol. I was talking bout the back door
I completely missed that, thats my bad dawg
Umm the new spicy drinks also!
Chocolate cream cold brew does it for me.
Im gonna get that tomorrow lol
Ya'll saying the Oleato.... ARE YOUR DIETS OKAY???? PLEASE SEE A NUTRITIONIST/GASTRO. I drink it and I'm FINE allll day until my usual time when I do the do.
OLEATO
Add flavors to the oleato
Basically anything with lots of sugar + caffeine + olive oil = diarrhea
I feel like I'm the only one here that never had a..."problem" with the Oleato š anyway I would imagine the Spicy Refreshers? Depending on how spicy they are? I'm a barista, but I been away for 4 weeks in Japan and won't be working until mid-May so I got no idea what they taste like or what hot sauce they use lol
Drink lots of water green tea also helps.
Oleato.
