Bowel Movements: Sh*tmaxxing Strategies
-
@GreekDemiGod by having a sleep schedule, no screen time 1 hour before bed (reading book is best, which also makes you sleepy)
I am also not using an alarm clock, as I dont need to, but if I want to wake up at a certain time I just say few times right after closing my eyes: "I want to wake up at 6" and it works.
also no blue light all day, not even using anti blue light glasses, just changed my monitor settings and it made a huge difference, its weird at first but you'll get use to it pretty quickly
-
@GreekDemiGod A couple hours before bed usually. I haven't tried other times of day though. Idk if it makes a difference.
-
As always: lower estrogen
-
@bruh How so? Is there something wrong with this brand?
-
@SUSYbaka No I'm using it too I just had to take two to get any effect

Effect of moderate exercise on bowel habit
"During each week the subjects either ran on a treadmill, or cycled on a bicycle ergometer, or rested in a chair for 1 hour every day. The exercise was performed at two thirds predicted maximum heart rate (equivalent to 50% VO2 max."
"Transit time was dramatically accelerated by moderate exercise (both jogging and cycling); however, stool weight, defecation frequency, dietary fibre intake, and fluid intake did not change significantly."
As residues of digestion are cleared faster, it can make other strategies to work easier to conclude the elimination.

Lol, throwaway as this is gross. Since I started peating I can wipe my ass as good as I possibly can, but I come back a few hours later and there will be some shit back, like it's leaking from my ass.
I used to be vegan and had much better shits - I've heard psyllium husk can really improve this but it's not peaty.
Oh also i've kinda been getting haemorrhoids due to sitting on toilet too long / wiping too hard.
Wat do?

@throwaway010110 Starches from potatoes, carrots, and bamboo shoots are OK. I find that a daily carrot salad is enough to improve the consistency.

Daily carrot salad. Cascara sagrada (any kind that is aged a year). Daily Magnesium bisglycinate in high doses. Skim milk, lots of fruit. Caffeine. T3 an T4.

What is usually recommended but didn't work for me regarding constipation:
- Cyproheptadine at 2mg/day
- Thiamine HCL at 100mg/day
- 2 carrots per day
- Magnesium citrate, up to 2.5g/day
What worked but inconsistently:
- Coffee, from 7g to 45g of grounds per day
Things I have yet to try but are in the books:
- Cascara
- Nicotine

If coffee works for you, nicotine will def. work too. However, I don't believe it's the healthiest way to trigger a bowel movement.
Try Magnesium Oxide.
