I know high fiber foods is a large part of it, but is there anything else to it?

  1. Wax your ass
  2. Get a squatting stool
  3. Don’t eat spicy food
  4. High Fiber, meaning, don’t eat anything purréd
  5. Try to eat a salad with lunch/dinner
  6. Limit or eliminate processed foods
  7. Limit saturated fat intake up until the point your gallbladder can keep up
  8. Red sauces, not white sauces
  9. Eliminate fried food
  10. Eat foods that are in a form where you can visually discern each major ingredient. (That’s kinda where the term “Whole Foods” comes from)
  11. Eat lean proteins like chicken/fish/Pork (not bacon)

    Shaving works too. I've gotten pretty good at getting it clean with a double edge safety razor. About once every couple of weeks keeps the wiping pretty easy.

    You don't need to wax your ass if you produce teflon grade poops as asked in this thread. I found out week long feats of uninterrupted veganism helped, so i'd argue balancing fibre intake is key. But i'm not doctor, just like the person i just replyed to.

    I think it's more likely to accelerate digestion and it can give you the runs, not 100% sure on that explanation though

    Basically this. Increased gut motility from inflammation reduces the time spent extracting water from your stool, which is exactly counterproductive to the OP’s question.

    It totally depends on the individual, but jalapeños give me diarrhea every time without fail. Spicy food causes general GI upset and inflammation.

    If jalapeños give you diarrhea you should try a habanero or a ghost pepper instead.

    It is kind of funny that jalapeños sometimes cause my stomach to get upset, but habaneros never do.

    So I just thought to duck duck go why and apparently pickled jalepenos are more likely to cause digestive issues and that matches up for me.

    So it clearly has nothing to do with the spiciness, and just with whatever your digestive system doesn't like about jalapeños (or them being pickled). Why would you agree that spicy food is relevant here when it clearly isn't?

    I eat peppers that would make a billy goat puke, no gut issues. It's a matter of getting used to, i.e., burning out, the neurotransmitters that sense capsaicin.

    People tend to think hot peppers are rough on the guts, but consider, birds chow them with no issue. No nerves for capsaicin, no problem. See? No cat. No cradle.
