I'm a DYEL (6'0 140 pounds) with trouble even hitting a goal of 2k calories. Because of the fact I'm having trouble hitting my goals I stopped lifting so I can gain a little weight and figure out what's wrong with me.
I found out that if I eat a big dinner or something and hit my caloric requirement the next I'm still stuff and bloated and barely hit 1k. I also realized I only have bowel movements like once every three days.
In short I don't think I'm eating enough because I'm all backed up. I know fiber makes you feel full so I'm thinking of drinking metamucil
Hmmm
You should load up on bananas rice applesauce and toast with butter
This is the BRAT diet. Might help with your upset stomachs
Also... Up the protein to 1g per 1pound of body weight.
Eat early and eat often. Don't gorge before bed I don't think that's gonna help you clogged butt
Make shakes, drinking your calories is easier than eating them. Although you should eventually transition to food.
As for what's wrong with you: your body is used to be malnourished, your metabolism is slow, your gut fauna is probably fucked up, and your stomach is the size of a golf ball. This will take time for your body to adjust.

I've thought about adding olive oil to water I'm drinking since mass gainers are expensive. Is that healthy?

add walnut or avocado oil to protein shakes, theyre both very mild, and walnut even adds a bit of a nice flavor. olive oil is bitter as fuck, and oil wont mix with water at all. if all you have is olive oil, take a shot or two of it at night. but really you should just go buy walnut oil
