    The only way I can somewhat guarantee a morning dump is coffee. Are there other ideas?

      Don’t force it. Some people’s “regular” is every couple+ days. I know a guy who goes after every meal. The food you eat helps of course, and stay hydrated.

        You should really be going everyday, if you aren’t eat more fiber. Brown rice or quinoa are goated for easy fiber. I personally do a mix of quinoa, white rice, and brown rice that suits my tastes and needs. And if that doesn’t fix it then yeah you might be an odd one

          Diet has a huge impact on bowel habits. I go about once every two days since doing keto carnivore.

          When I used to eat burritos and pizza it was multiple times per day.

          Unless it’s causing a lifestyle issue, just eat to your health plan and don’t worry about it.

          Fwiw I still carry antidiarrheal pills with me, just in case, too many near misses from the burrito days

          Exercise can help start the bowels moving. It’ll help with flow. If you work out in the morning you’re more likely to have a satisfying movement.

      The human body is supposed to naturally initiate a bowel movement first thing after waking, but sometimes we find it inconvenient and disrupt that timing. Coffee can help re-train it when it gets messed up… or when you’re time constrained in the morning.

      I have a job where I can flex poop in the morning, so without caffeine it may happen immediately, and sometimes it may take 30 minutes. Food also stimulates it in the morning.
