No, I don't think so. I don't really have concerns if you feel that you're having better bowel movements because you drink a cup of coffee. I actually experienced that myself. So from my perspective, I don't see that as a red flag.
There's this expression that exists called the runner's trots. Basically, these are distance runners, people who are training for marathons and things of that variety, where when they run, they have to poop. When they're on their legit marathon run, they find interesting ways to do that. What we know is that movement actually stimulates motility within the intestines.

When you move, your bowels will move. And our bodies really were designed to move. So this sort of lifestyle, coming back to the lifestyle thing, Drew, this lifestyle where we're sitting at a desk and working from nine to five or something like that, and then going home and popping down on the couch, this is not the way that we were designed as humans. So it doesn't have to be a run.

Well, I think there is some nuance to this particular topic. I'm not here to say that the solution for every person who is constipated is to crank up their fiber. I think that there's a little bit more to the story than that. But what I will say is this, that when your bowels are moving, as your bowels are moving through, fiber is your friend.

So for people who are constipated, as a gastroenterologist, my goal, the way I always tackled this issue is I want to get your bowels moving first. And there's a number of ways that I would do that. And then once I have them moving, then I want to bring the fiber on board because the fiber is going to help us to keep them moving.

So I sort of see, I think the key learning here for the audience at home is that it's not so much that I wean into fiber to treat constipation. It's more so that I get your bowels moving and then I bring the fiber on board to keep the bowels moving.

Yeah. And this is actually something worthy of us unpacking beyond what I did in the actual post. Because when I did this post, I was talking about a bottle of magnesium citrate. And many people tried to correct me. And I think part of it is sort of trying to educate on complex topics through social media. So let's just kind of unpack this together.
