I love you, Paul!
I am very regular and have been since pretty early out (immediately after surgery notwithstanding)
In addition to fiber, food pushes food through the digestive tract. I eat a lot of food!
Um...2 footer. Had to lug out the old plunger but I felt a lot lighter. In fact, I did before after on the scale. Three pounds. No lie.

Yes, I'm regular. Taking a magnesium oxide every day helps, plus eating avocados and almonds and drinking lots of water.
But boy can I go big sometimes. And not just once, but again and again in like half an hour. What I want to know is where is my body storing all that poo until it comes out?????
Oh, and did I mention the horrible cramps I get right before the big one?!
And for the prize, yes, I have gone so big as to stop up the toilet. UGH!
On another topic, how's your daughter and family?

I do not have any bathroom problems. I get close to 50 grams of fiber most days, so I think that helps. If anything, I have more issues the other way. I don't dump that I know of, but sometimes too much fruit can make me have to GO.
I have had some mega ones that feel great to be cleaned out! Since I have my scale in a very inconvenient place, I have never weighed before and after.
