Bowel Movements: Sh*tmaxxing Strategies
-
@lucasmenem yes just moving around upright regularly helps a lot.
-
@lucasmenem do you do this in one session or spread out
-
@charliebrown In a session, if you ask about compatibility with productivity, I say that it is excellent, because the best reasoning flourishes, even more so if at least part of it is done barefoot on living soil, and if the sun radiates your chest even more wonderful, the brain comes alive
-
@lucasmenem I see, thanks
-
I find that cellular dehydration is the limiting factor of feeling poopy
-
I have had success with coffee. Also, taking gelatin dissolved in warm water with added salt always makes me shit. Carrot salad only works for me if eaten regularly. White button mushrooms calms my gut.
-
Psyllium husks are goated. Once you experience the ghost wipe (tp remains clean) it's hard to go back. 2 tablespoons seems to be the sweet spot but it's best to start with one and work your way up. Yet to see a peaty argument against them other than the fact that it's soluble fiber. Psyllium husks + carrots/mushrooms + good exercise routine = 1-3 easy bowel movements a day.

@Nik psyillium husks are carcinogenic
-
@Nik oat bran and even some of the semi-synthetic things, Metamucil, agar and psyllium, all have been identified as carcinogens for the intestine and possibly other organs and getting those out quickly before they support bacterial growth

Who would've thought that peating is more about shitting than eating. I'm just starting, coffee helps me, not sure about carrot salad, but it's certainly making me feel lighter. I'm taking cascara 450 mg before the sleep also. Is this the right way to take it, or am I better off taking it during the day?
-
An all liquid diet, like coffee w/ sugar, OJ, and milk, with carrots, makes me feel like poops are at their most effective. As if each poop actually finishes the job. Throwing a laxative like cascara on this strengthens the effect. I find if I do something like this even just once or twice a week it greatly improves bloating and any motility related issues.
-
@SUSYbaka double your dose if you're using the now foods cascara
-
@bruh Got it. When will be noticeable results? In a week?
-
@Skysnek One of the most important thing is to have a high intestinal pressure. This helps stimulate peristalsis and increase transit time. You can do this by keeping your abdomen fully relaxed most of the time and by strengthening the shitting muscles through defecating in a fully squatted position. Diaphragmatic breathing and eating high volume foods like mushrooms, fruits, tubers and milk also helps by increasing the pressure inside your guts.

@SUSYbaka next time you take a doodie
-
Proud to announce I had 8 bowel movements yesterday. All Bristol type 4.
-
@Skysnek do you have any photos?

@Charlie watch for carotenoid toxicity

my bowel movements are always best when my Circadian Rhythm is on point
How do you ensure circadian rhythm is on point?

When do you take psyllium? Before bed?
