So given that, as you say, "goopy poop and fiber doesn't help" try consuming just the fiber. While I, too, like the idea of fighting fire with fire, in this case it may be exacerbating your problem.

i added a comma to the title. smart ass!

i love poop.

Sometimes you make me wonder, pance.

oh yeah? when i first posted it, i had a comma in there. and then i didn't think it looked right. so i took it out. and since you made a comment about it, i just had to put the comma back.

"i can't have people thinking that's what the title means," i thought. "that goopy poop AND fiber don't help this person." not that anyone but you would probably read it that way. but it still looks weird with the comma, right? most people don't even know what commas are for so it doesn't even matter to them. but to me it does. proper comma usage--or, rather, lack thereof--is directly related to the downfall of society. so do i keep the comma, even though i think it looks weird in that context, even though it's technically correct? or do i leave it out, knowing that most people won't even know the difference or care?

these are the kinds of conflicts that consume me.

We make a good team, Wonderpance! You keeping the commas in order while I try to work out the colon issues.

Always looking out for number two!

pance, try using a ';' instead of ','. That should help. I personally use semi-colons when i have two ideas that are not truly complete in and of themselves but when conjoined thusly, make a load of sense.

"goopy poop; fiber doesn't help!"

that looks good eh.

I liked this article. I think i'll try some of it myself.

thanks all.

for more about me.

Always have plenty of TP and don't worry be happy! Goopypoop is o.k. as long as arrivals and departures are under control.

Ken, Ken, Ken . . . you are what you eat. Eat healthy food and your pooper will produce shits to be proud of.

I think the title is elliptical, which means it has something missing: "[I have] goopy poop, and fiber doesn't help." That makes a perfectly good compound sentence, properly punctuated.

Now for the topic: The writer may need to take out one food (group) at a time--say, grains--and see what that does for poop texture. I know that, in my own case, my increased water intake has made my poop softer (though still quite well formed). I'm willing to live with that, since more water is supposed to mean lower likelihood of more kidney stones.

Peanut butter poo is never fun. I hope you get it fixed.

see what you started, logjam?

Concretious, i might just take your advice. i'm always so concerned about proper comma usage that i sometimes forget about the semicolon.

MSG, you also make a good point about the sentence fragment. however, since it's a title, it doesn't need to be a complete sentence.

What I started? This one is all your doing, wp.

Here's my own take. I work hard to avoid punctuation in titles, unless it somehow adds something special beyond clarification. All this usually requires is some reordering of the words. For example, I'd consider:

Fiber no help with my goopy poop
Can't cure my goopy poop
Goopy poop's got me down
I'd trade soupy for goopy anyday

i still blame you. but thanks for the advice! i think i'm going to leave this one alone, but i will consider rewording next time i have comma issues.
