This sounds so dumb, but has anyone found the trick to a healthy gut? I feel like I have serious issues when it comes to regularly pooping. I’ve been trying to eat better and drink more water and cut out anything besides water. It’s made going #2 so much easier, but I still struggle? I had coffee 2 hours ago and I’ve gone 4 times and I feel so much better lol. I still don’t go to the bathroom every day though and I am bloated most days. Almost like I’m constantly constipated lol. Does anyone have any tips? Should I be taking probiotics or something? Ugh I’m at a loss

I take a powder fiber supplement that you add to your drink/meal and it helps a lot! They do sell probiotics specifically for regulating digestion too but it sounds like you need some extra fiber!

Look up the FODMAP diet. It will help

Try implementing more fermented foods and drinks into your diet

Metamucil

When I went to the doctor for constipation I was told to have probiotics (drinks, yogurts, etc) and drink juices that start with ‘p’ (prune, pear, etc) because ‘juices that start with p make you poop,’ stay hydrated, and here are some foods that have fiber {oAWS8M29e}

If you’re already eating a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables and fiber then I’d see a doctor.

Try introducing beans and lentils and avoiding red meats. Switching a chilli con carne to a kidney bean and chickpea style chilli is a good meal to start with.

Fiber (meta mucil) and a probiotic. My bf does this because he has upset guts as well and since he started taking that everyday he has been better.

I agree with @aurielle, if you’re already getting all of the good nutrients needed and looking after yourself and you’re still having issues, definitely see a doctor.
