  There were several very angry comments about eating more fiber lol

    Yeah, I would think about my diet/stress/caffeine level if I even had cramps before a shit, like what are you doing to your body if shitting is regularly a struggle at age 30 without a medical problem? Your life could be so much better if you took care of yourself/sought medical advice. I know not everyone can afford to see a doctor, but it’s cheaper to catch something like bowel cancer early.

    Yeah, fiber would be 0 help here, and possibly make it worse. Anon needs to see a doctor.

    Personally I find it annoying and frustrating that people will automatically assume poop problems means the person needs more fiber no matter what. It’s not a magic cure-all, and pretending like it is is completely stupid

      I tried more fiber when I had undiagnosed celiac disease and yeah, it isn’t a fix.

  Nope. I’m over 30 and it’s like a light switch. 😜

  Jk, no issues whatsoever with my sphincter.

    Like my old man used to say, look after your sphincter and your sphincter will look after you.

  30 days after you turn thirty though, that’s probably fine, same if 10 days prior.
