What Happened When Hannah Berner Took Dulcolax Before Bed?

Hannah Berner took Dulcolax before bed in Singapore, and five hours later she was in the worst cramps of her life. She had not gone to the bathroom since the day before the trip. Paige DeSorbo put that at three or four days, and Hannah agreed. Right before the goodnight text, Hannah threw a laxative in her mouth, told Paige she would see her in the morning, and passed out. She had taken a laxative before, but not before bed. The box said to take it before bed and that it would take five or six hours. It hit on the dot. She said it felt like giving birth to Satan.

It became a panic attack on the hotel toilet in the middle of the night, 1 a.m. her time and 1 p.m. for Paige DeSorbo. Her hand went numb. She thought her insides were trying to come out, they were not, and the pain felt contorted, like someone squeezing them. Nothing was releasing. What she had eaten was a stack of Michelin-star meals and meals that were not. She decided she was going to faint on the toilet rather than stay in it.
