I thought MRE’s were specifically designed to cause constipation in order to reduce the number of times a soldier has to respond to a call of nature.

I did 30 days of C-Rats during TET lost ten pounds. The worst part was the rumbling in the lower bowel before squirting, nothing solid.

Just NOW they are getting around to the impact that MRE preparations have on the digestive capabilities of soldiers?

World War One, they were cooking and eating the rats that infested the trenches.

I hesitate to think of what medieval knights may have been reduced to seek for food supplies on a landscape devastated by several days of violent clashes.

As I understand it, you would be constipated for a couple of days then the floodgates would open. Constipating someone for longer would probably cause internal injuries...
