Shoot for one or two poops a day.

Psyllium, followed by other soluble and insoluble fibers, will help, but try to get more exercise, too.

“eating a more plant-dominant diet”

Somehow, I knew they would get around to this.

So, vegans fart and poop a lot, so are better off?

If I have a relapse from my Colitis, I would be going to the bathroom every 30 minutes.

I think most everyone should take a fiber supplement, almost no one eats enough fiber, it’s almost impossible to eat as much as we need daily. I pop a few of the off brand Metamucil psyillium pills almost everyday. Works like a charm. As a bonus it also reduces cholesterol.

Should we post "selfies" here?

Gotta dump the trash to keep the kitchen fresh and ready.

Fine article!

My 2 cents?

Don't sit on the toilet to poop.

In other words: Men should never sit, and women should sit only when peeing.

I tend towards constipation, so take psyllium and also have some kimchi in the morning.

You can still eat meat, but go for veggies as your side dish instead of rice, potatoes, or pasta.

Take an Obama and a Biden a day, helps keep the doctor away!

I take psyllium pills 4-5 days a week and it seems to firm up my stool. I was having trouble, frankly, with real loose stools. They seem to help and I’m on the throne usually twice a day or even more depending.

Related but not completely on topic, I’ll put in an endorsement here for the bidet toilet seats. I bought one at Costco early in Covid and was an instant convert. I now cannot imagine living without one, and find it mildly annoying living without when we go on vacation.

Ok, I couldn’t resist” “Beans, beans the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot, the better you feel. So, eat beans at every meal!”.

They’ll never come to my house then... 1 or 2 is a bad day 🤣🤣🤣

[mellow velo]

Only one or two a day?  Heck, I'm good for 4 or 5 on a normal day!

who is Gibbons and who paid for the study?

and eating a more plant-dominant diet.

And here we go. Meat is bad, m’kay?

[Larry Lucido]

If you’re on pain killers, it may behoove you to take something that will make you go regularly.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Two per day means you’re eating too much.

[Phoenix8]

Makes sense but how do you “dodo” regularly?

It seems a mystery despite reading lots of theories my body more or less goes when it wants to.

I have noticed a few factors that seem to help me:

Hydrate
Peanuts
Fresh vegetables
Exercise/physical work

But especially this last one works almost every time (so well a few times I had to go in someone’s woods..sorry unknown dude or dudette):
After not going for a day or 2 go eat at hot Buffett but STUFF yourself, I mean up to you lower throat level almost.

THEN get in car and drive home (or where ever) on a rough road so you get bounced up and down for about 30 minutes.
