What is the rest of your diet like?
Bananas always make my poo mushy and hard to get out. Not as bad as some foods, but I definitely don't eat them when I'm constipated.

What is your
1) Weight
2) Height
3) Eating habits
4) Dinner time
5) Waking time??

If you alter some of these, life will start flowing like lava.

I haven’t read through everything here, but I try to avoid laxatives, because my mother became so dependent on them that she couldn’t “go” without them. This is probably TMI, but she had to go to the doctor, who had to “manually” relieve her.

What works for me is:

hummus
whole-wheat pasta
orange juice, with the pulp, preferably fresh-squeezed.

The main thing is the condition of the feces. Is it black and hard? Then it is dried out and the body is having difficulty moving it out. If it is brown and soft, then you probably need to cut back on some of the measures since your system is overactive. I would consult a neighborhood pharmacist.

Beans beans the magical fruit <beans really aren't a fruit>
The more you eat the more you toot
The more you toot the better you feel
So let's have beans with every meal.

I discovered that when I take fish oil EVERYTHING inside gets well lubed. The jury may be out on what it does for your heart but results have proven that it's good for your skin and many other bodily functions.

We use home made salsa when we are camping as it seems we are always dehydrated. It needs to be from Jalapenos or hotter. Works like a charm if you can take the heat.

Funny how some of these jingles/sayings are the same no matter where you're from.

There are several versions/variations of that poem.

Beans are considered a fruit, read the url below...

The following are technically fruits: avocado, beans, peapods, corn kernels, cucumbers, grains, nuts, olives peppers, pumpkin, squash, sunflower seeds and tomatoes
