Sorry if TMI but what foods make you poop?

[Marne]

I have been taken a lot of pain killers for my back over the past few weeks and it has made me bunged up :( I feel fat and bloated but don't want to take any medication to make me go ( would rather do it through diet ), have tried eating rhubarb ( as it usually works ) but it didn't work, what else can I try. What makes you go?

Prune juice

Sugar. If I drink tea it goes through me

lots of garlic

or excessive alcohol

kiwi fruit or a cup of very strong coffee

curry, chilli, fajitas and other spicy foods make me need the toilet

Lots of coffee.

Shredded wheat.

Or lots of alcohol!

Pic n mix and haribo. No idea why bit it does every time

Bran flakes but it can take a day or two.
And fresh brewed coffee (like from costa or starbucks)
Good luck!

Beer too!

I get bad beer 'bum' the morning after drinking it

I like the idea of the alcohol

Can't drink coffee, although it would make me too it also makes me quite ill.

I think I will try something spicy and some alcohol.

Beetroot. Coffee. Rhubarb

Strong coffee and a fag always used to do the trick

These days, going for a long run seems to have the same effect!

If you do lots of beetroot it will probably come out purple too!!

Coffee (I know it doesn't work for you). One cup is all I need! Never noticed it with food stuffs particularly.

But I'd give my son non-bananary fruit and orange juice if he was bunged up.

Dried prunes, six of them twice a day for three days should sort you out. But you must drink lots of water as well, at least four half pint glasses every day. Excess fibre needs lots of water to make it passable!

Just lots of veg and water with little to no carbs. And a really strong coffee.

Dried apricots.
Prune juice.

Or, my favourite method - make a cuppa (tea or coffee), let it go lukewarm, sit on the loo and down it in one go. Don't know why, but it worked great when I was trying to poo whilst in labour!

Wine gums or haribo for some strange reason.

Spinach lots of.

Porridge every morning with strong coffee.

Dark chocolate, prunes and rich cream!

Nothing. ABsolutely nothing makes me poop except the medication I am on.

On a funnier the note, I will never forget the look of disbelief on the hospital Drs face after the 2nd dose of picolax failed to make anything move.

Constipation is the one thing I do well at in life!!

Proper coffee. Or a McDonald's or other similar food place. Or fresh fruit juice with plenty of oranges in it.

2 Kiwi fruit a day
half a bag of prunes
apricots, figs
pulses, lentils
bran, muesli, porridge oats with all bran and plenty milk and dried fruit
coffee (stimulates smooth muscle)
homemade wholemeal bread
fruit juice

failing that, Movicol would be my medication of choice. If you are just bunged up at the bottom end, glycerine suppositories are brill.

Linseed

Coffee, Weetabix, prunes. Chilli/curry also work but mostly in terms of driving out whatever has bunged me up, so that can be rather painful!

Maybe try prunes and THEN a curry....

Oh and lots of water too.
