Do you have a go to meal or snack when you feel constipated?

Dates, prunes. Look for soluable fiber sources and lots water, exercise

Yep, a go-to meal that works every single time.

I eat a Chick-fil-a breakfast (chicken biscuit & hash browns) on an empty stomach.

The grease first thing gets things kickstarted and cleans me out.

It only works for me with Chick-fil-a. No other fast food breakfast.

I drink iced tea and then I make a mad dash for the loo.

Chia seed pudding.

Coffee, and then drink extra water.

One of those big veggie salads from sweet green or chop’s. No meat or cheese in it—just veggies.
We went on vacation to a rust belt area last summer and the restaurant food was so fatty and heavy….I was totally craving one of those salads!

Opposite question: Does anyone else have trouble going to the bathroom after they eat a lot of chicken? I made a big pot of chicken white bean chili for the first time and it gave me such trouble. Is it the chicken or the beans? I was assuming chicken because I eat bean/cheese breakfast burritos sometimes and haven't had an issue.

Pears

I know someone who swears by dried apricots.

Drink a ton of water. Always works for me.

Phillips magnesium caplets. Fiber does NOTHING for me. The problem for me isn't a lack of fiber, it's that things just don't move out. My diet is very healthy, fiber makes me bloat.

Try Ruby Tuesdays. They're usually in the middle of nowhere too. They have a wonderful salad bar. It's the healthiest place I've found so far in the middle of nowhere.

Yes, a milkshake from Chick-fil-a or McDonalds. They have an additive that my body doesn't enjoy, and it is a sure fire way to flush everything out. I would say this only happens maybe twice a year, typically I have no issues.

Milk causes issues for a lot of people.

Raspberries, pears, and a nice cup of hot coffee. Whoosh!
