I voted for Poop Report. Every stinking time I come on here when I haven't shit in a while, suddenly I have to go drop some chocolate rain. It's a phenomenon that I think this site needs to explore more in depth. I know I'm not the only one who experiences it.

_______
If a man farts and no one's around, does he make a sound?

There needs to be an other option. Whenever I eat, within about 45 minutes I have to poop. It is nice being on a fairly reliable schedule. Poop in the morning, then poop after I eat.

_______
Number One . . . I order you to take a number two.

I picked Taco Bell because what I eat has a great influence on how it comes out. I find beans in my diet keeps things running smoothly. Or not running. You know what I mean.

It used to be that every time I walked into a store with chilly air conditioning on a hot day, I'd have to crap within a minute of entering the store. I grew out of it, I guess, and now there's virtually nothing predictable about my crap habits. Three days with no turd, then three turds in the first hour of the day. Who knows...I eat tons of carrots and apples...maybe I'm blocking myself up or something. All I know is that when I let loose it's a slice of heaven. Those carrots are the key...unbelievably perfect turds. Just takes a while to get them to move to the exit.

There's a certain air about me....

I am in the minority. I voted laxatives.

Poopreport does help too, but by the time I log into PR, I have usually made my contribution to the toilet bowl.
_______
It's not nice to fool mother nature.

Being where there is no toilet.

I've gotta go along with Poop Report too. Behold the power of suggestion. Simply reading about all things poop related stimulates my bowels. But, Taco Bell isn't too far behind....

_______
Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

Several days of gorging on greasy shit. I ought to know better, but I don't.

I went with Taco Bell, but in reality, any time I eat more than just a little bit, it makes me poop. I guess it wants to make room for the new food or something.

_______
I'm so good at clogging up toilets, I can make mine back up when there's nothing in it.

There should be an option for a "regular" meal, not just Taco Bell with fire sauce.

Or how about "a nice hot cup of morning coffee"? That tends to get me going...

_White Castle burgers used to always get things going for me, but maybe it was the beer.______

I voted "laxatives", but not in the traditional sense. What always gets me going is going for a run. Something about the motion kind of shakes everything down toward the exit. I start just about every day with a good run, then a good crap. Good strong coffee works too, though.

_______
An apple a day keeps the ExLax away!

The Taco Bell visit never fails me. This morning, however, after four days of eating much funeral food and few vegetables my shop was closed. That is until our former congressman entered the restaurant where I was eating breakfast. That did the trick and now I am evacuated.

Runninggirl, I agree a good jog does the trick. After a recent, early 15K race I ravaged a port-a-potty. It pains me to think how much faster I could have run without the added weight.

Yes, a nice vigorous run definitely helps to physically shake down my stuck poop as well as all my internal organs. And luckily there is a Taco Bell within reasonable walking distance of my home.

If you eat taco bell then run like hell you'll create quite the smell.

Jagermeister, it works just by thinking about it. Uh oh, gotta runs!

What's so funny 'bout poop, love, and understanding?

I was investigating the validity of the alleged "brown noise" at a friend's house on halloween, and while none of us pooped ourselves, within an hour we all had pooped. Maybe it was because we started reading this site after listening Coincidence? or science.
Oh, and i find that anything josteling like washing machines or bumpy back roads can shake loose my fiber.

i picked taco bell, but basically anything that upsets my stomach makes me run! (literally and figuratively...)

_______
poop poop eee doop!

Although I've never eaten there in my life (GASP) I know Taco Bell can really wake up your O ring.

So, Mr./Ms. Flaming Bowel Thunder, please tell just what you are doing on top of washing machines that they jostle your bowels so much.

(Hint: If you use your mom's laundry as a buffer between you and the washer, the jostling won't bother you so much. Not that I would know or anything.)

All I need in the morning is that first cup of coffee. That gets my shit moving with no problem. As far as Taco Bell, I've eaten there a hundred times and have never had any problem. Maybe I've just been lucky.

For me it's coffee. Always has been, and I guess always will be. Takes about three cups.

To all interested readers: I have just discovered something that may prove very useful for other pooperport readers. Magnesium is a very beneficial daily dietary supplement, but it's also a great stool softener. (Actually I haven't yet figured out if it stimulates your system, or just softens your stools, or both) Anyway, the point is, it is a very healthy supplement you can (and should) take every day, and it will really help you if you need any help going. However, you have to get the water soluble magnesium, and it's not cheap. I use a brand called "Natural Calm". It's called this because it's also very beneficial for your nerves, but on the label, it only describes the laxative effect. It you use the typical cheap tablets, they are not water soluble, and I don't think they have any benefit for your nerves or as a laxative. I've been taking it for about 3 weeks now, and my turds have been consistently soft and easy to pass. Before I started taking it, I would sometimes
fail to drink enough water, which would cause me to get real plugged up with a big dry turd that took me forever to pass.

I very rarely have to do anything to get my bowels to move; I normally go every morning and often at least one additional time a day. However, to answer the question, I often start my day reading Poopreport, and during my reading I feel the urge. So . . .

I must say that the few times I remember getting somewhat stopped up, Shredded Wheat or a similar whole-grain cereal bulked things up nicely. Whole wheat breat, too; also nuts (very effective, almost too much so). Same for salad greens, beet greens, etc.
