Stick with prune juice, kids.
One man in China found himself on the operating table after he swallowed live eels. He believed that it would help relieve his constipation, only for the sea creatures to tear through his intestines, causing a serious infection.
The man, who was not identified, was admitted to Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Jan. 9, just one day after he tried the do-it-yourself approach, AsiaWire reported. He was complaining of intense abdominal pain, and the staff recognized that his body was going into shock, according to the report.

For all the good they were going to do, he might as well shoved them up his butt.

Swallowing them?
Seems to me there would be a faster route to solving constipation using eels.
I would go into further detail, but this thread is on thin ice now. I wouldn’t want to be the one responsible for the “No Thanks”.

What is the standard diet of eels?
Maybe they would eat their way to his relief.
However, once they eat through the log jam and things start moving down Schiff Highway, would that be considered cruelty to eels?
So many questions
