A friend of mine swore by bran muffins. He called them "Nature's Broom."

That just sounds really f*ing painful.

Broom + anything bathroom related = do not want nope

Does blending the fruit and veggies into liquid destroy the fibre they contain?

The fiber is in the fruit or veggie itself. Try eating them instead of juicing.

Nice topic to get the weekend kick started :laugh:

coffee, if that doesn't work: more coffee

But don't forget that sometimes, too much can have the opposite effect.

you can train your body to poop? my fun fact for the day

I did not know this either! I have nothing else to add other than this gif:

I didn't know that! Good thing I only have 2 cups a day max

Not everyone poops everyday. If you poop every 3 days its still considered fine as long as it's regular and you feel fine.

I also wanted to add that while fibre is good for moving things along, too much does the opposite! keep it to 25 - 35 grams a day or you'll feel worse.

Also, bananas are constipators. Try prunes instead.

I've dealt with IBS most of my life. I find that Magnesium Citrate and a probiotic are my perfect combo. I use Nature Made Magnesium Citrate (500 mg) and a multi-strain probiotic every night. Since I started this, my digestive issues have really become much easier to predict and regulate.

Still, since you're on meds, I would suggest speaking with a doctor--the meds they have you on may not be the right ones for your body and other options would help. Plus, you'd want to be sure that anything you would try (supplement wise) would be okay with what you're currently taking.

Just posting here so it shows up on my feed!

Coffee and cigarettes always got the job done.

and Mexican food..

I'm having this issue, also have ibs and a gluten intolerance. Eating loads of fibre, fruit, drinking water loads but I've just bloated enough to gain 5lbs. I might resort to laxatives later but it's going to be very painful, but being at day 4 of feeling like this is horrid. And I've ran 4 x 5Ks this week and it's not helped!! I could actually cry.

I've been eating around 1300 kcals but have eaten about 1600 after running once this week.

Frustrating. The balance of IBS or constipation is awful.

Could be a magnesium deficiency. A lot of people have that. Magnesium helps me.
