I know high fiber foods is a large part of it, but is there anything else to it?
A bidet
I find they’re hard to eat.
You have to eat them one bidet at a time.
Hire a ghost to poop for you. Ezpz
Instructions unclear; shit in sink.
I need this answer too lol
High fiber and proper hydration.
I drink hella water and eat nothing but greens, beans, and whole grains… stilly sticky as, well, shit. So there’s clearly other factors at play.
So no sugar or even aspartame? Dairy? You might also have an allergy.
I mean, I do season my food, and I have a definite sugar problem. No dairy, I’m intolerant. Probably the sugar, then.
I actually find low hydration is the best approach. The system removes a lot more moisture from the waste resulting in solid non-smearing packets.
Then you risk constipation.
I eat a lot of fruit. Never drink water though. Hate the stuff.
Pretty sure that’s not how that works.
Being the ok smelling like shit.
Colostomy bag
I don’t think they’re edible
Just stick a straw in it like a capri-sun.
🤮
🤢🤮
There is no such thing. At best, you’ll do one courtesy wipe and hang the paper back.
I hear ya there. It’s just those rare occasions, where you wipe once, always gotta make sure, and that first wipe shows you were already luckily clean, it just makes ya wonder…
Lots of alcohol. I’ve met guys who haven’t had a solid shit in years.
But wouldn’t you need an extremely solid poop to not have to wipe? I know alcoholics and I know they’re making splatter in the toilet. No way in hell you don’t have to wipe after that.
There’s no way you can obtain wipelessness without some technique!
Get a forceful stream so it doesn’t dribble down ya, but not so forceful that it bounces back.
nah there’s a special zone where it doesn’t splash back nor leave any but the smallest of traces on your anus
Stop using toilet paper as your primary. Bidets are remarkably more convenient and cheaper in the long run. It’s literally night and day better.
Pretty much illegal (or at least a grey area) in my country. No insurance will cover a bathroom flood issue even if bidet was installed by a licenced pro.
We tried that once. Couldn’t get it installed, the original plumbing lines were (and still are) too corroded together. They can’t be separated where the water line to the toilet tank is, without lots of work we can’t afford.
Also, I didn’t ask about wiping vs bidet, I asked about a healthier/cleaner poop diet.
Portable, battery powered bidets exist.
- Wax your ass
- Get a squatting stool
- Don’t eat spicy food
- High Fiber, meaning, don’t eat anything purréd
- Try to eat a salad with lunch/dinner
- Limit or eliminate processed foods
- Limit saturated fat intake up until the point your gallbladder can keep up
- Red sauces, not white sauces
- Eliminate fried food
- 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)
- Eat lean proteins like chicken/fish/Pork (not bacon)
Why no spicy food?
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.
Wait, can chili do that? I don’t think I’ve experienced that even though my mouth has been on fire numerous times.
Many things increase gut motility. Barbiturates are a famous example of the opposite effect.
It totally depends on the individual, but jalapeños give me diarrhea every time without fail. Spicy food causes general GI upset and inflammation.
You might just be allergic to jalapeños, my cousin.
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.
I love me a good Vonnegut reference
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?
They didn’t.
Yea, sorry. Turns out it was a different person posting this, and I had somehow assumed it was the same person replying, my bad.
Only thing id add is staying properly hydrated
You lost me at 3 ngl.
Reading number 3 makes me angry.
Legit hard dealbreaker
the squat stool kinda fire tho
I tried it and it’s not for me. I prefer two stable flat feet on the ground.
Ah, a standing position. Bold!
They lost me at no. 1
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.
somehow, putting a blade to my asshole doesn’t really sound that appealing.
I used to think the same thing and would have my wife wax me. The razor is much faster, doesn’t hurt at all, and accomplishes the goal of keeping my massive ass forest under control.
No thanks. Ryobi one blade.
Taco Bell takes issue with like half of these.
You don’t need to wax your ass if you produve teflon grade pops 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.
Lots of cheese. Don’t need to wipe if your shit is solid as a brick.
sounds like asking for a hemmaroid.
Damn you, I have a sealed block of sharp cheddar that I might have to open tonight…
A bidet.
Interesting diet choice…
It’s pretty good after the first few bites.
I think I rank this question up there with the fate of our universe and the meaning of life. It’s just a scientific mystery that is beyond our ability to understand.
Regular moderate exercise and avoiding just eating mostly sugar has helped me.
Sugar free orange flavored metamucil. No joke. Mix up one or two spoonfuls each morning and in the next day or two your shits will start being magical.
Not entirely true. Metamucil, as it contains mostly soluble fiber, will help with regularity, but not with firmness. For firmer stools, thus “no wipe,” more INsoluble fiber is the way to go.
Seconding this. It’s honestly a little embarrassing how much taking solid shits improves your life. Bathroom breaks are quicker, don’t stink as much, and you save a fortune on toilet paper. My diet has since improved to the point where I don’t need it, but I still keep a couple tubs of it in the pantry just in case.
Citrucel is also pretty great especially if metamucil gives you some gas.
If pooping was an Olympic sport, fiber would be performance enhancing.
