    Coffee. Nuts. Avocados. More produce. Lots of water throughout the day, especially before bed and upon first waking in the morning. All of these things should help!

    Make sure you are getting enough healthy fat in your diet.

    I agree with this.. I eat enough fiber but I noticed when I eat something fatty out of the norm..it comes with ease.. I have tried fiber one, metamucil, veggies and still haven't figured it out..

    Coffee and a cigarette. BOOM. Skip the cigarette, though. Also, if you eat a lot of chocolate, that'll get things moving.

    Also, correct me if I'm wrong but our biology teacher told us on day one, girls dont poop, so am confused.

    Well, they do and it smells like ROSES!

    Add fiber to your protien after workout recovery.

    I have the same issue, so my advice is Chia seeds works wonders. I put them in my after workout shake or in my overnight oats.
    I have also found nuts helps too. Good luck!!

    Now for my serious reply: warm water with a bit of lemon in the water, first thing in the AM, will help.

    So, to make this really easy (because THERE IS science to this)

    F A T S - the healthy kind like saturated & monounsaturated (and NOT trans or processed food fats from t hings like Fiber Bars) stimulate the liver to releases bile and the gallbladder to get it going through the system . The bile mixes and digest the fats and cause a rush of water to go through the intestines = Poop!

    More water and fiber......made up in the 70's when it was thought we all should cut back on saturated fats, etc. and eat more whole grains to keep our hearts healthy. LOL!

    We know better now! Go back to healthy animal fats, along with coconut oils, olive oil. And enough to do you some good! Stay away from anything processed.

    If a food like coffee or prunes helps than okay, but don't forget about the bile!

    Did you try googling the word "constipation"?

    It's probably better than chit chatting about it here

    Google "Salt Water Flush". That'll sort you out. :wink:

    Wow..that's not very smart of your bio teacher. How did they become a teacher in the first place? We put stuff in our body, if it didn't come out we would explode.

    You know what, I had that same problem and I started taking Max Muscle's Cleanse and Lean. It's a natural laxitive that helps regulate you. It worked great for me. And of course drink a lot of water!

    For your weight you should be downing 12 glasses of water minimum. Also increase the fiber and make sure you are getting enough fats.

    it's the protein. Try drinking Smooth Move Tea a couple of times a week in the evenings before bed. It works gently over night. also be sure you are drinking the right amount water during the day!

    echoes of everybody else's replies:
    excercise first thing in the morning plus coffee seems to get things moving satisfactorily most days

    Also... don't forget that prunes are not the only high fiber dried fruit (although it may be the only high fiber commercial fruit JUICE - unless you're doing your own juicing... but that's another topic). Yes prune juice is high fiber, but, so is eating dried apricots, dried prunes, dried mango, dried papaya etc.

    And let's not forget perennial faves like beans and whole grains (bulgur wheat, for example is a quick and easy alternative to rice or pasta).

    good luck

    More water.

    I had the same problem. Drank ONLY water as my beverage for 30 days with meals and snacks. No coffee, tea ,soda or sports drinks. Problem solved!

    I'm thankful that I wasn't drinking anything when I saw this, because it would have come straight out my nose. That's for another thread, though.

    I can't remember if anyone said to take up running, but that'll get things going, too.

    I accidentally read the subject as "HAD to Poop. TMI" and I was super excited, thinking this would be a story about you having to poop in some random place, like the woods, or on the side of the road.

    I AM DISAPPOINT.

    Like everyone else said, make sure you're drinking plenty of water, and getting fresh fruits, and veggies.

    If that doesn't work, try binge drinking and Taco Bell.

    well, i was concerned about that myself, until realized that if i eat less, i have less bowel movements. the quality of food counts too. the vet told me if i buy cheap dog food, my dog will make more messes because her body can't use all of it. and i figured out that if i eat good quality food, my body uses more of it, so there is less waste. just common sense, but i don't know why it took me so long to figure it out!

    I agree...either of those would have me running to the potty!
