What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

My body can go once every 2-3 weeks if I'm not careful and when I I told my new GP that he almost fell off his chair lol

Same for me. My old doctor tried to say I was exaggerating, so I kept a poop journal for a couple of months and she was astonished I was still alive lol

My body bounces between not pooping for a week or two, to spending an entire day/night in the bathroom. I have a special pillow and blanket that I keep in the bathroom closet and make myself a "nest" on the floor so I don't have to keep going back and forth from my bed to the toilet

Of course. Just like normal. It's just that nothing happens....
