I actually genuinely tell my patients to do this.
Put some headphones on and tune out the environment.
Maybe it's you're putting on white noise.
Maybe you're playing some music.
But that's half the battle is to just stop being hypervigilant and listening for every footstep outside the door, every rustle of someone who may be passing by.
because that's going to keep you on high alert.
And in order to have a bowel movement, you have to relax because you have to relax your sphincters.
That's the final door on the way to the exit.
And if you can't relax those sphincters, that poop is not going to come out as easily.
Why these foods?
Yeah.
These three foods, and one of them being like a little bit more, I'd say like a supplement than a food, the psyllium husk.
Yeah.
They have just been incredibly well studied and studied for their natural laxative properties.
Now, prunes are probably the one that we've all heard of because that's the ones that our grandmothers have been using for a long, long time.
And I found when I started my GI practice that it was very hard to get any of my younger patients, like my high school or college patients, to eat prunes.
That just didn't strike them as the cool thing to do.
But luckily for us all, two really nice randomized controlled trials came on the scene of two kiwis a day, which seemed to be just as efficacious as prunes in eliciting more complete spontaneous bowel movements every day,
But also the nice thing about kiwis is that it doesn't seem to cause bloating, which is a big complaint of people who eat a ton of prunes is that they feel pretty bloated afterwards.
Kiwis don't seem to do that.
