Also, here's a counterintuitive tip: if you're going to eat beans, take fiber pills as well. The soluble fiber from the pills lessens the grief from all the insoluble fiber in the beans.
Yep, I buy the big jug of sugar -free orange Metamucil powder and put a rounded tablespoon into a 12 ounce glass. Stir as I pour in the water, so it won't clump up, and chug it down quickly because it's more powder per water than recommended and will form a spoonable gel if it stands Which is okay if you're into that, I've eaten it that way, but I'd rather get it down and follow it with a glass of something I like better. I have wondered about making something similar to boba pearls with it. The box of packets is more expensive but at least you could add one to a glass of water in a restaurant and drink it politely.
coleslaw specifically, with the raw veggie form, not the ultraprocessed one with stuff in it. just put it on a egg wrap and eat it after microwaving it a bit, gaurenteed bowel movement the next day if not super "blocked", just not cooked veggies as they have little effect since the fiber would be destroyed by the heating process.
Best all around is to just remember to include fiber in all your meals. Veggies, nuts, seeds, whole grains, that sort of thing. You won't have much trouble going when you're ready to go. In the U.S. that also means not buying much take out / fast food junk, hardly any of those foods have fiber.
If you meant "quickest" then you might be thinking of foods with a laxative effect, a quick drink of black coffee cold brew concentrate works for me. Something I discovered by accident when in a rush to get my day going one morning LOL.
There's a chocolate bar i found that contains espresso, and its the only non-liquid food I've found that is genuinely strongly caffeinated. I think it was labeled something like "Nuts and Jolts"?
Edit: brand name is Chocolats Latour, flavor is Nuts & Joltz, description is "caramel walnut latte bar, 40% cocoa".
I don't know if we can answer this without consensus on what makes one bowel movement better than another. Personally if I could eject dry little pellets like a rabbit that'd be my ideal.
rabbits do it to, they extract more from thier poop, also animals like these usually have a large cecum to assist with the digestion of tough plant material.
Dairy has that effect on me. It's not as nice as it sounds. You strain and it comes out with blood.
I was a full grown adult before I learned maybe I'm allergic to dairy protein, after I was poor and went without milk or cheese for two weeks and for the first time in my life I didn't have painful rabbit poo.
sounds like you could be lactose intolerant, people that are lactose intolerant will have a very unpleasant bowel movement, sometimes bloating also occurs.
fresh coleslaw(not premade with all the sauces, just the raw veggies all cut up) i almost guaranteed to get a bowel movement, if constipated the next day. bananas barely work,.
or any sweetner with ethyrithiol, although this causes unusual bowel movement which can be unpleasant. My IBS-C, which constipation variant makes constipated on occasion. for those who are constipated due to a disease, like ibs, it might take a few trial and error. coffee, bananas do work but as you become tolerant to it, its less effective. worst comes to worst is using generic ducolex(stool softener) which may or may not work, or miralax, for those are constipated for more than a day.
The majority of gout is based on fructose consumption, not purines. Uric acid by itself is actually an anti-inflammatory in the body, it is only when the body is dysfunctional through metabolic problems, specifically high fructose levels, that one of the hallmarks of gout is high uric acid, that's not normal. The amount of uric acid the body can produce on its own is much higher than the amount that can be consumed, avoiding purine rich foods when you're having a gout attack helps a little bit, but it is not the cause, and it is not the solution, it's just symptom management
So a zero carbohydrate diet, carnivore, avoids all of the issues with metabolic dysfunction, avoids, fructose, avoids glycation end products in joints.. it is not the environment that gout exists in. People with gout who use carnivore to treat the gout often report marked improvements rapidly.
Update: I should add gout is also causally linked to alcohol. alcohol and fructose have very similar metabolism pathways in the liver.
Thank you, and yes. This is the link I was just about to post until I saw you had already did! I listen to a podcast that used to have huel as a sponsor and they dropped them and explained why. Sorry I was cryptic, I thought it was common knowledge now.
I had coincidentally read that article a day or two before that comment, so it was still fresh to me. I had absolutely no clue before reading that article that Huel was found to have high levels of lead though! I actually used to buy Huel (just not that specific one in the article) and didn't really like it compared to just normal protein powder that is much more affordable, but overall it did make me realize I need to be more careful regarding supplements ingredients/manufacturing processes for non-essential food.
I am really glad that you have considered the reporting in your decisions. That is all we can do. I definitely have a few drinks here and there even though there is mountains of evidence of carcinogen damage to my body. I really like your response. Thanks for being a real human.
Vegetables. Any kind.
Also, here's a counterintuitive tip: if you're going to eat beans, take fiber pills as well. The soluble fiber from the pills lessens the grief from all the insoluble fiber in the beans.
Do you mean something like "Bean-o," or could Metamucil (psyllium husk fibres) work? Just about everyone needs more fibre in their diets, after all.
Beano is enzymes that help you digest. I meant fiber pills like psyllium husk.
Metamucil works well.
Unless I'm missing something, they'd also be much more cost-effective than the pills. (those containers are BIG)
Yep, I buy the big jug of sugar -free orange Metamucil powder and put a rounded tablespoon into a 12 ounce glass.

broccoli
I've always loved broccoli, and a lot of folks hate it, so...
Roast your broccoli, people.
Toss it with a little olive oil, salt it, and bake at 400 or so until it's browning.
It adds a depth of flavor you wouldn't expect if you've never had it.
I love stir frying broccoli with just a bunch of other stuff it's like a flavor sponge, so good
partially, also the gas that it produces, but cauliflour is better at it.
Colon blowing you-hu-hue in the morning

i noticed another one after using TRUVEA in coffee, since ethyrithiol is the ingredient, it also causes a bowel movement too.
1 cup black coffee, 2 pieces black chocolate, 5 figs.
consume orally before 6 am.
Orally? Never tried it
How..do ... you? What? Why? No?!?!

Well, coffee is quite a powerful, fast-acting laxative for some people. Is that what you meant?
psyllium husk.
Corn. Fun little surprise that tracks my digestive speed!
How do you know which corn is which shit? Do you switch up the colours?
Smoothies. With oats, fruits, greens, chia seeds, yogurt.
Dump out. Flawless. No splash no wipe 10/10
I don't know how I feel about the, "no wipe" part...
Of course there’s a confirmation wipe. But that doesn’t flow and would’ve fucked up my meter and Olympics judges table thing I had goin
Yeah, how do you know without at least one confirmation wipe? That's a dangerous game.
No job is complete until the paperwork is done my friend
Most everything I eat honestly (vegan btw) but red lentil pasta is a great way to clear yourself out.
Should combine that with brown lentil Bolognese. That's my (also vegan btw) poop-even-better-than-usual food.
I don't know if we can answer this without consensus on what makes one bowel movement better than another. Personally if I could eject dry little pellets like a rabbit that'd be my ideal.
Careful what you wish for... rabbits have to eat their own shit once in order to get it to the dry pellet stage.
Interesting, guinea pigs do something similar. They have two kinds of poop and one is still nutritious so they eat it again.
rabbits do it to, they extract more from thier poop, also animals like these usually have a large cecum to assist with the digestion of tough plant material.
that usually means your super constipated at that point, and it puts one susceptible to hemmaroids.

Popcorn, kinda? Enough fiber that it makes it normal and soft; but it also pricks because of all the kernel shells 😬
It’s like a thousand pricks in your asshole.
Wrong kind of pricks, tho. 😩
You guys are keeping track of that???
Not all the time. Only the really good ones I want to remember.
Chia seeds, coffee, and lots of fibrous veggies.
Lasagne. I think it's all the cheese grease lubricating my insides.
Chickpeas. They have so much fiber. And they taste awesome when prepared well.
Honnestly quinoa for me is the best. Plus it makes funny leopard poop.
Prunes.
milk
sounds like you could be lactose intolerant, people that are lactose intolerant will have a very unpleasant bowel movement, sometimes bloating also occurs.
Sweet potatoes.
Big bowl of spinach would loosen things up. If I want instant then dairy products(lactose intolerant).
Haribo Sugar-Free Gummy Bears
https://www.boredpanda.com/hilarious-comments-sugarfree-haribo-gummies/
Couldn't find the original review though.
All bran cereal as a late night snack, Coffee and red grapes in the morning. Boom!
Shits like firm tofu wrapped in silk.
A big mug of coffee and two cigarettes
If this does not work, try downing a bag of cherries and then repeating the coffee. But do be near a drain.
Just chug a glass of olive oil.
Coffee
fresh coleslaw(not premade with all the sauces, just the raw veggies all cut up) i almost guaranteed to get a bowel movement, if constipated the next day. bananas barely work,.

Meat. Just meat. Went on a carnivore diet for 3 months and my shits were bliss.
I am geniuenly curious how carnivore diet doesn't give people gout disease.
The majority of gout is based on fructose consumption, not purines. Uric acid by itself is actually an anti-inflammatory in the body, it is only when the body is dysfunctional through metabolic problems, specifically high fructose levels, that one of the hallmarks of gout is high uric acid, that's not normal.

It might. It's not that great long term if you don't supplement.
There are purines in all kinds of food, not just meat.
Huel (and sufficient water throughout the day, in addition to the water in the shake).
I can definitely tell when I haven't had it for a few days.
Lead lined Intestine. Be safe out there.
Explain please?
They might be referring to this : https://www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein-powders-and-shakes-contain-high-levels-of-lead-a4206364640/
A specific Huel powder is listed.
Thank you, and yes. This is the link I was just about to post until I saw you had already did! I listen to a podcast that used to have huel as a sponsor and they dropped them and explained why. Sorry I was cryptic, I thought it was common knowledge now.

Coffee for sure.
Taco Bell.
Pizza hut. Literally a cure for constipation. That shit is good though.
Beer. There’s something about it that seems to lube my intestines and makes everything else come out smoother.
Dates. Very tasty, with lots of fiber. Also, kombucha. Not technically a food, but still tasty and has bacteria that's good for your gut.
Kiwis and bananas.
Kiwi fruit 🥝 - nature's scrubbing brush. One per day is all you need.
eating the rind of watermelon.
Chicory. Be careful. It's pretty potent.
Poke bowls or sushi.
I like grinding chia seeds and soaking them overnight in milk (it takes a while to mix) - then put it in the morning cereal.
Coffee, kiwi and hamp seeds.
A breakfast burrito and a nice glass of Kratom has me shitting my brains out.
Yucca fries
Tomatoes, in any form.
A quart of water, about five to ten minutes before the desired event.
Removing my entire large intestine. Then everything shoots right thru.
gra ta ta!
