      While they work amazing, they’re supposed to be temporary fixes (for instance, when medication affects your bowel movements). Your body, with the right nutrition, should not need anything extra to shit properly!

        Just replace meat with some type of legume once, twice, or thrice a day.

        Save your colon, and the planet.

        Oh, and replace most of your carbs with whole grains.

        Edit: and leave the skins on your potatoes!

          When I went vegan I saw change in my shits within a week. Turns out animal products make shit shits!

          And I don’t even eat healthy. Just no animal products.

        Every time I eat beets and asparagus, I forget about their effect and get horrified by the aftermath.

      This, though if you start it start kinda slow. 1tbsp per day for a week, up it to 2, then 3. I tried starting at 3 and it had some wild symptoms (most people just get gassy/bloated though)

      I just started psyllium husk about 3 weeks ago more for satiation, cholesterol and as a prebiotic but man, I don’t think I’ve ever had better poops, stuff is insane
