Kiwi fruit πŸ₯ - nature's scrubbing brush. One per day is all you need.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago

eating the rind of watermelon.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Beer. There’s something about it that seems to lube my intestines and makes everything else come out smoother.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

Dates. Very tasty, with lots of fiber. Also, kombucha. Not technically a food, but still tasty and has bacteria that's good for your gut.

Pizza hut. Literally a cure for constipation. That shit is good though.

[–] bassgirl09@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Kiwis and bananas.

[–] underreacting@literature.cafe 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Huel (and sufficient water throughout the day, in addition to the water in the shake).

I can definitely tell when I haven't had it for a few days.

[–] ted_pikul@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lead lined Intestine. Be safe out there.

Thank you, and yes. This is the link I was just about to post until I saw you had already did! I listen to a podcast that used to have huel as a sponsor and they dropped them and explained why. Sorry I was cryptic, I thought it was common knowledge now.

[–] TheLightItBurns@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I had coincidentally read that article a day or two before that comment, so it was still fresh to me. I had absolutely no clue before reading that article that Huel was found to have high levels of lead though! I actually used to buy Huel (just not that specific one in the article) and didn't really like it compared to just normal protein powder that is much more affordable, but overall it did make me realize I need to be more careful regarding supplements ingredients/manufacturing processes for non-essential food.

I am really glad that you have considered the reporting in your decisions. That is all we can do. I definitely have a few drinks here and there even though there is mountains of evidence of carcinogen damage to my body. I really like your response. Thanks for being a real human.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Coffee for sure.

[–] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Meat. Just meat. Went on a carnivore diet for 3 months and my shits were bliss.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I am geniuenly curious how carnivore diet doesn't give people gout disease.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The majority of gout is based on fructose consumption, not purines. Uric acid by itself is actually an anti-inflammatory in the body, it is only when the body is dysfunctional through metabolic problems, specifically high fructose levels, that one of the hallmarks of gout is high uric acid, that's not normal. The amount of uric acid the body can produce on its own is much higher than the amount that can be consumed, avoiding purine rich foods when you're having a gout attack helps a little bit, but it is not the cause, and it is not the solution, it's just symptom management

So a zero carbohydrate diet, carnivore, avoids all of the issues with metabolic dysfunction, avoids, fructose, avoids glycation end products in joints.. it is not the environment that gout exists in. People with gout who use carnivore to treat the gout often report marked improvements rapidly.

Update: I should add gout is also causally linked to alcohol. alcohol and fructose have very similar metabolism pathways in the liver.

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

There are purines in all kinds of food, not just meat.

[–] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 months ago

It might. It's not that great long term if you don't supplement.

[–] the_grass_trainer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yucca fries

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

A breakfast burrito and a nice glass of Kratom has me shitting my brains out.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Chicory. Be careful. It's pretty potent.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Poke bowls or sushi.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

Tomatoes, in any form.

[–] Melobol@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

I like grinding chia seeds and soaking them overnight in milk (it takes a while to mix) - then put it in the morning cereal.

[–] oyzmo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Coffee, kiwi and hamp seeds.

[–] squinky@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

A quart of water, about five to ten minutes before the desired event.

[–] sixtoe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Removing my entire large intestine. Then everything shoots right thru.

gra ta ta!
