Give me your best foods that fix your constipation. Does fast food, soft drinks, and other junk food help you go?

Psyllium husk/metamucil
>>
>>21085133
I was already eating a lot of fiber with breads, vegetables, beans/lentils, and fruit. How does adding more fiber help?
>>
>>21085146
It's special fiber
>>
>>21085148
I'm genuinely curious, what makes it special? As far as I'm aware fiber is fiber no matter the source.
>>
>>21085086

such a meme.
>>
>>21085159
psyllium husk, more so than most fibers, is extremely good at retaining water as it passes through your digestive tract. you'll have smoother bigger shits
>>
>>21085086
Milk helps me. For some reason my body just seems to digest it perfectly whereas everything else is likely to start leading to constipation. Anything with fiber makes it worse.
>>

>I was already eating a lot of fiber
What's a lot? Hadza men eat upwards of 100 grams a day.
I eat that and now have slightly watery, but still solid stools, and have to go 2 times a day.
I started to worry maybe I had UC or IBD or whatever, but apparently if you eat tons of fiber, your gut biome produce so many SCFAs that you get highly lubricated stools of the Bristol 5-6 variety.
>>
>>21085146
There is soluble and unsoluble fiber, check it up.
>>
>>21085086
coffee

Eating more shit doesn't fix constipation.
You're constipated because you est shit you can't digest or aren't used to digest. Things like fiber.

Adding more cars doesn't fix a traffic jam.
>>
>>21085242
Yeah contrary to popular belief fiber does make digestion worse. We can't digest it so it strains the digestive system a lot. Those that abuse it end up with IBS.
>>
>>21085086
prunes

McDonald’s strawberry milkshakes make me shit 20 minutes later. I don’t know why, and the other flavors don’t have this effect. It’s a pleasant shit too, not like violent or watery or anything.

rich chunkie veggie soup with beans, barley, grains etc. make a big batch every week or two and keep portions frozen so you can eat some every day or nearly every day. also bran flek (raisin bran without all the raisins)
>>
>>21085086
If that's true just continue eating healthy until you're regular again. But I'm sure you're not eating healthily if you're constipated. That's not how it works.
>>
>>21085146
>>21085159

It's unlikely you're eating bread that would count as 'fiber'. Cut it out of your diet and you'll be shitting like a champ in no time. If you eat just two servings of vegetables a day you should stay regular. I eat salad or cabbage or broccoli every day and I don't eat bread. When I do it's so grainy that it's got seeds falling all out of it.

If your bread is soft and it bends, it's not fiber.
>>
>>21085896
Flakes?

Honestly most people don't understand this.

drink some mineral oil throughout the day. Then eat better.

OP needs to clarify "healthy"
If he's eating like 60-70% protein and cutting out ALL carbs because he's convinced carbs are the devil like the internet says while only eating a spoonful of the wrong veggies onj the side, then he's just creating protein bricks in his bowels and tearing his asshole apart each time he goes the toilet.

Check what your magnesium and potassium intake is like. If it's low, and for most people it is, supplement it or eat foods rich in it.

By choice? From what I've read hunter-gatherers will eat high fiber foods but it's typically not what they prefer. They'd usually rather have meat and honey. They're eating high fiber foods when those things are unavailable.

Keep in mind their meat isn't your meat: it's extremely lean and gamey. (Imagine chicken tenderloins cooked without oil.)
But while they'd probably prefer honey & meat exclusively, it should be pointed out that your body does adjust to higher fiber intakes.
Their shits probably look pretty normal.

It doesn't take that long. If you're still sick years into a "healthy" diet then maybe the definition of healthy needs to be recognized as something variable to the individual.

welp, I make big batches of this soup and probably 50% of the time I eat just the soup, the rest of the time I add grilled fish or chicken thigh pieces, sometimes kluski (egg-based drop nooder). Adding protein makes it a meal and doesn't detract from all the fibery veggie goodness, but one needs veggies to be regular

I bought it purely because it's funny, it worked, and they sell it on their website, and amazon. it's way over priced, and basically all bran with no sugar.

if my purchasing this has caused you discomfort, or to have any feelings at all. it was worth it. rage on moron.

opposite question.
what the fuck do I eat to get a nice fat solid shit?
20 years of playing MMORPGs has ruined my DNA. every shit I take is a 30sec lightning fast orifice void because of having to go ninja-afk during 6-8 hour raids/parties with no breaks.
>>
>>21090306
Fiber is the answer to both constipation and runny. Especially psyllium husks are good.
You have to adjust your water intake according to your fiber intake. Too much water = runny, too little = constiapted. Too little fiber = always misery
>>
>>21085907
You just eat cabbage...raw? Like a salad?

>>21085086
Homecooked, potato-based, blended soups.
I usually make a big batch of a bland soup-base and spice things up whenever I heat up a portion in chef Mike to combat aroma-exhaution, while blue-cheese is my favorite to add some additional aroma to the soup.
The base-soup usually consists of rather bland veggies like potato, carrots and an onion and no salt. I cook the shit out of the veggies (inb4: mimimi, those VITAMINS!!!) and blend everything up with an immersion blender for maximal immersion.
Eat that for a week for most of your meals and you'll poop like crazy (in a good way, as in, poop that plopps right out by themself).
Constipation can come with hemorrhoids and the good news is that switching to this diet made mine go away after a couple of days. I was a bit constipated and dreaded every bm since pushing out a massive stool (from constipation) while having hemorrhoids is no fun.

I don't think fast foods devoid of fiber will help in this situation.
There are people that claim that fiber causes constipation but in most situations, adding fiber from food will help to have a good stool consistency. Fiber absorbs water and acts kind of like lube so the stool can move easily through the intestines, I think.

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that I get phantom-poops on the soup-diet.
>>
>>21085957
This.

Anons, whatever you do, do NOT do Keto while doing OMAD. Your asshole will thank you.

I haven't had to wipe in over a year, I do but it's always clean paper
>>
>>21091708
This can't be true, although I fast once every week and after that I get poops like that.
>>
>>21091708
>>21091723

I think we have to differentiate between the good and the bad type of "phantom" poops.
The good type is the soft but still not too loose stool that comes out practically clean without straining whatsoever.

The bad type is the one caused by too little fiber, dehydration and for me too much white rice. This type also doesn't dirty the paper much but the stool comes out as tiny balls that are pretty firm and often encased in a thick mucus, which acts like a glue that hinders movement in the intestines.

Sorry for all this poop talk as it's gross but I want to share my experience/knowledge with other anons to alleviate some discomfort that is easily avoidable by adjusting ones diet.
>>
>>21091708
can you recommend diet for that. I'm the complete opposite despite diet of beef, eggs, potatoes, limited cheese/dairy, fruit, and limited cooked veg
>>
>>21091708
how long have you had this diet?

The whole slushifying the soup makes it easier to digest so probably helps you.
>>
>>21091962
They digest really well, which limits the amount of food that gets moved down the pipe in a half-digested state, causing all kinds of trouble.
I recommend taking digestive enzymes for soups that contain ingredients that digest a bit gassy like legumes or onion. But if you're sensitive to fodmaps, you would probably already know that oh too well.

This. If you really want to fix constipation, you need to be drinking a ton of water and moving your body. Drinking water and go for a hike, run, swim, bike, whatever. Just move and do sit on your ass. Trying to fix this food will only make things worse

I eat once a day, usually a steak or chop with a couple eggs, a pint of raw milk and a bowl of whole milk plain yogurt with honey for dessert
I also take kratom twice a day which I assume is the culprit
>>
>>21093779
> asks about food choices to avoid constipation
> doesn't mention he takes kratom
lel

I think we have solved this mystery.

To reiterate, Keto + OMAD is a very, very bad idea. Then again, if you want to know how it feels to give birth, go ahead, try it.
>>
>>21085086
Whenever I eat fast food I have to take a smooth shit right after. If I eat a bunch of salad then I do a huge crusty nasty shit and it always cuts my asshole.
