Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | >> (show all) Foods that help you poop       #216261 - 09/28/05 07:43 AM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois I was just curious if there are any foods that people find particularly helpful for a good poop! I know we need IF, but I was wondering if there is a food that you C folks turn to to help increase the chances. I'll start. So far, knock on wood, I've had a BM the morning after having cooked peas (about 2/3 cup) for dinner the night before. I've only just noticed this the last 3 times I've tried it, so it may be a coincidence. But, if I haven't gone for days, I will now turn to my peas in hopes of increasing the chances! Also, Casey's sweet and sour has helped sometimes. Okay, any one else have a food(s), preferably safe...not like milk or sorbitol sweetener...that you turn to for increasing the likihood of having a BMs? -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

Hmm, I can tell you foods that keep me from going...but not ones that help me go. Beth...you just gave me something import. to think about...I owe you one *hugs* GREAT POST...can't wait to hear more from folks! Peas...haven't had those in a while...may be something to consider Love ya!

And how much magnesium malate do you take at night? I didn't think this type of magnesium would help with BMs. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

There are certain IF foods that if I take them OUT of my diet, my poops get difficult (straining, hard, small). None of them are miracle foods in that they'll MAKE me have a BM, but if I stop eating ALL of them on a regular basis (at least two of these a day), I'm obviously not getting enough IF and I start to have problems. Those foods are: Corn Legumes - lentils, beans, etc. Grapes Apple with the skin on, which is a new one for me I still think that if you're looking for a food or 2 that will make you "go", you're approaching it all wrong. Aim to get more IF overall, ALL the time, every single day. And I still think you should make it IF from fruit/veg sources, which seem to me to have more water to them than grain sources. But that's just me.

For whatever reason, the pureed asparagus sauce really gets me moving! I call it my "Makes me go pasta". And with all the leftovers, it makes me regular for a week! -------------------- Heather "Quod me Nutrit me Destruit" Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Since you asked....       #216323 - 09/28/05 10:17 AM Edit Reply Quote bamagirl Reged: 04/02/04 Posts: 1407 Loc: Alabama collard greens grape nuts cereal pear relish Not all together mind you, but as separate food items! -------------------- God is Faithful!
