Everybody poops. (And I'm new!)

i also regularly eat a diet with good fruits and veggies, but i will never quit my Metamucil.

LOL - I eat lots of fruit and veggies, too. Metamucil just gives me that extra 'kick'. I won't quit it either. :-)

hi, I took a peek at your food diary....you don't seem to be eating lots of fruits and veggies. Maybe try increasing the amount of produce you eat and make sure you are drinking your water which it looks like you are:) FYI...bananas can be constipating and it looks like you are eating one daily....try to avoid dairy(milk and cheeses) , rice, bananas etc. Exercising also will help to get you regular. P.S. I find my am coffee really helps...haha!!

Absolutely! Couldnt have said it better myself! Girl ~ drop the processed foods, keep the bananas (theyre healthy) and you need some veggies in your life (at least 3 servings IMO)!

As others have said, more fiber and more water. I take metamucil (the pink lemonade is king!) 1-2 times daily. It definitely helps. But I also use the soluble fiber (I think it's fiber sure - i'd have to go look) in my coffee each morning. But I can tell you... nothing gets a movement for me like a ginormous salad does.

Hi! I just had a friend tell me about this site last night. I joined it today and am so excited! I need to lose 25lbs. I have had a really stressful year and believe it or not, I have put on 20lbs in the last year and half. If any of you have tips, I would love to have them! As I find what helps me, I will share them.

I regards to (pooping)......I have found that it is best to go on a cleanse. A few of my favorites are, The Fat Flush.....amazing book and works awesome! The Cranwater and psyllium will take care of your concerns in a jiffy! Also, for energy, health, vitality and to help you get "regular", our family has been taking a whole food called Akea that has changed our lives! You can check it out at www.faber.akealife.com.

When i started eating healthier I started pooping WAY less.

When I ate junk I literally had to go like 3 -5 times a day and they were usually like sudden emergencies. I would have to jump out of my chair and run to the bathroom.

Now that I eat healthy it's usually once a day at the same time every day, sometimes twice a day if I've eaten a bit heavier.

You can hold food in your large intestines for up to three days. Maybe your body is just still trying to adjust to the changes you have made.

you can add me to the less poop 7 weeks into my journey. but im not backed up, i just don't need to and when i do it's not huge logs. and this is coming from a sufferer of Irritable Bowel Syndrome all my life.

When eating a primarily junk food diet i was constantly either constipated or had diahorrea and peeing almost every hour on que

Now i pee a few times a day, rarely have to get up every hour day or night and only need to poop a few times in the morning and maybe once during the day if at all.

I am eating alot of fruits and veggies now, easily double/triple what i use to but my body doesn't indicate it needs to go.
all checks out normal with the doctors too, they even said It's not abnormal, if you eat less crap you use up more of what is going in to power the body so you get less crap coming out.

When you eat crap your body can't motabolise it properly so alot of it goes straight through to the bowels and clogs it up or passes through, and believe me i've been clogged b4 so i know what that feels like, at one point i couldn't pass anything for several days and all cause of a tiny dried piece of **** that clogged my intestines.

Do you like coffee? There is a coffee substitute, called Teeccino, that has fiber. I add it to my ground coffee and use it in the coffee maker. It helps keep me regular. I cannot take Metamucil type supplements, they make me have bad intestinal pain and bleeding. Sorry if TMI! I've also had good luck with Dr. Schulze products, like Formula one and two and his bowel detox.
