honest question: does anybody here actually eat the recommended daily amount of fiber most of the time?
>>8968829
Yep. It helps when you take soluble fiber with your water.
I started eating more fiber and my bowel movements were more firm and cleaner, they'd come out in one long stroke and didn't smell as bad and also I didn't need to wipe afterwards so I didn't have to shower to prevent swampass anymore.
10/10 would eat fiber again
>>8968829
I do eat a lot of rice and the one I use the most is the integral short grain one I buy at the Asian grocery shop so I guess I do
Whenever I have trouble pooping I eat a whole bowl of it and next morning I run to the shitter
as long as you get 1g fiber per 100 calories
you're ok.
Get REAL fiber, not "sugar" fiber
FWIW I'm right
I have to due to my diverticulosis.
When I'm feeling health minded I'll take fiber supplements like a bar or powder. Helps clean you out a bit.
-1x roast chicken, skinned, deboned and cut into chunks
-1x leek
-2x brown onions
-1x carrot
-1/2 pound pearl barley
-68 fl oz chicken stock
-Oyster sauce to taste
Finely chop vegetables and sautee with garlic, salt and pepper
Place in pressure cooker with all other ingredients, cook for 45 minutes
Eat, 10-12 hours later have a mind bending bowel movement
Have been having traditional style soup 3-4 nights a week lately. Shitting massively and zero residue on wiping. YMMV.
Probably. I've never really counted, but on most days I eat 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables, plus a tablespoon of psyllium husk in my morning yoghurt-banana shake.
Haven't once been constipated since.

I think so. I bought a bulk box of chia seeds and sprinkle spoons of them over everything I eat.

This seems like bullshit but I want to believe it's true
>>8969614
Eating unsoaked chia seeds can literally kill you.
>>8969644
Does it create mustard gas?

easily, I only eat pasta or rice like twice a week. The rest is canned vegetables and/or salad.

>"daily fibers"
no suck thing. fibers are there to make the shit soft, it's not about eating the amount once a day it's about having some with every meal. And it requires enough water or it has the opposite effect.
>>8968842
>fiber and my bowel movements were more firm
you are doing it wrong. drink more
>>8969751
But you want it firm. Soft means messy.
>>8969756
no, you want it soft.
Why would you eat fiber unless you're currently suffering from pooping issues?
>>8969782
no you dont.
>just quit smoking
>cant shit properly
>getting anus tears
JUST
Who /cracklinoatbran/ here? That shit cleans me out like WHOA.
