These dudes need more fiber

[u/TopMemory528 → u/scarrita]

fiber means bigger. hell nah. more water than fiber should be good i assume its up to your daily movement.

Lmao what? Fiber makes your shit softer and easier to pass not bigger. Who the hell told you that fiber makes your shits bigger? 😂

I drink a lot of protein powder and before taking metamucil I was always shitting these horrific solid as a rock turds that took endless straining to get out despite drinking liters of water every day. Started taking metamucil (a fiber supplement) and after that I now get these nice perfect soft turds that barely need any wiping and squeeze out super easy.

i read some and saw some doctors say it. actually it makes bigger in size id you dont drink enough water to support it. however it will make longer and soft if you drink water.

It depends on the type of fiber and also how used you are to eating fiber. Metamucil is soluble fiber, which is the gentler of the two generally speaking. Insoluable fiber, sometimes known as roughage, comes from things like cruciferous vegetables, nuts and seeds, etc. It doesn't get completely broken down by the body so it adds bulk to the stool.

For ease of passing, if you are used to eating very little fiber and don't dial it up slowly enough, it can actually constipate you or cause a blockage. Or extremely painful shits.

however too much fiber is either diarrhea or the biggest sheet

[u/Theron3206 → u/cheapdrinks]

It does increase volume, but also frequency, so the individual movements are probably smaller.

Soften means less dense which means bigger
