Alright, let’s talk poop

This thread keeps getting resurrected. It's one of the first things I read on the forum. It is also somehow only three pages?!?

I'm glad this poop thread got bumped because I've just had the single worst day - started with Tirz constipation so bad I took a Dulcolax at 4am, and at some point the 0.3mg Reta micro-dose I tried to stack mid-week kicked in and I finished the day with 8 trips to the bathroom with diarrhea between 9p and 5a. OMG. I need to buy stock in Charmin ultra-soft.

All that to say the cure for Tirz constipation is a tiny bit of Reta, in my world...

You need a bidet. Watch the south park "Japanese Toilet" episode. It is truth.

I just did a search of this board and found that no one has mentioned Acacia senegal powder. My go to brand is Micro Ingredients, and I've also used Heather's to great effect.

This is one of those things where you'll need to find your own personal dosage through trial and error. For me, I've settled on one 13 gram dose in the morning. And, if things are moving slowly, I'll throw in one magnesium oxide capsule with breakfast and dinner

I was using acacia, but that was when I needed it for IBS-D (it helps there). I have some.. I should try it again. I just hate that it doesn’t dissolve very well.

I love salad packs, the nice ones with like cabbage and kale at Trader Joes. I roast chicken breast and add 6oz on top of a salad pack. Lots of fiber, some greens and protein.

Yeah I’ll eat half of those chopped salads w/protein added (tuna or chicken) and if it’s been a bad protein day I’ll add a scoop of unflavored Isopure and mix it into the dressing. Takes forever to eat, but it’s got fiber and protein.

The bidet has literally been the only thing that has saved me. I’ve been close to tears so many times. I’ve just sat there and let it do “its thing” …because lord knows I sure as heck wasn’t.
The pain is real.
This thread was the first one that I saw for this forum and it’s honest open answers is what made me say…yup. These are my people!

My GLP1 endeavors have essentially shifted my 'clock' forward by 8-10 hours. Example: My time used to be at 6 AM right before leaving for work. Now it is 3 PM.

My current best practices are
-sugar free metamucil IN THE MORNING (opposed to previously at night). Every day
-Natural Calm magnesium citrate AT NIGHT. Every night. Often taken with magnesium glycinate Natural Calm's mag citrate is not straight mag citrate, it fizzes up to provide elemental magnesium. It provides a stimulus but not like straight mag citrate.
-2 tbsp of flax meal & 2 tbsp of chia seeds in a pudding with breakfast. Sometimes this is also a protein pudding as you can mix 2 servings of whey into this and then you have a whey/flax/chai pudding.

That's a big bolus of fiber in the morning. It took about a week of this regimen to establish a new regular schedule.
