Can we talk poop for a minute?

in Food and Nutrition
When it comes to pooping and staying regular, all you hear is fiber...fiber...execise...fiber...water...fiber... Yeah, that's not doing it for me. The cleaner a lifestyle I lead, the harder it is for me to poop. Eventually, I'm going to have to resort to eating Taco Bell, since that manages to produce a movement for me within a couple of hours.

Does anyone else find this to be true? (Not necessarily the Taco Bell thing, but the rest of it.)

    Yes.

    I assumed it was dehydration, because I knew for sure I was not drinking enough water. I started making sure I drank ample water, even using a 64 oz. bottle with the oz. marked on it each day. No change. I know it's not fiber, because I do get that in my fruits and veggies. I was told by a friend who went through a big diet and exercise change last year that she experienced the same thing. Once you start making such big changes, things get affected and sometimes take time to right themselves, I suppose.

    Are you getting enough fat in your diet? Fiber and hydration are good, but you need fats to poop, too.

    In addition to eating clean I take 6 fiber pills a day.

    My poops are very regimented in time. M-F I poop everyday between 830-845
    Sat and Sun its a bit later as my diet and workout times vary a bit.

    I think regular poops are very important. I mean, who doesnt love talking about poop? Have your looked at the texture of your poop?

    Are you eating natural fiber or things like fiber one bars. Those things can kill a gut for sure.

    milled flax seed. Add it to yogurt or smoothies. Only 60 calories for 2 tablespoons, and well worth it. Don't give in to the Taco Bell.

    Am I the only one that goes 2-3 times a day, at the same time everyday? I am clockwork when it comes to defecating.

    4 ounces of prune juice every morning upon arising. After 10 minutes, drink 2 large glasses of water.
    Also, 400 mg of magnesium citrate after dinner with 1 large glass of water.
