A meal plan would be great, cos I noticed that I am only get bowel movements after I drink grapefruit juice or medicine. I don't think that is healthy. I would like some diet that would enable regular bowel movements. I drink a lot of water so I ease myself a lot sometimes I get gas but that is as far as it goes, I always need something to aid me if I want bowel movements like grapefruit (ther juice) cos I eat grapefruits and its roughages or medicine. I do not feel consipated but I just feel it should be regular since I eat everyday.

If you are skinny then its pretty normal. And if you eat pretty healthy well balanced meals then your body is useing most of the nuetrence of the food and it does not have alot of waist to give. your poop is just the excess waist your body does not need or want so a healthy diet and a slim figure can cause that.
But if you really want to poop then just excersize more and eat six small meals a day and you should be regular in no time

there is one thing that would work great. 4 times a day have warm rooibos tea and in that tea add 1 tbs of psyllium husk {mix well} drink fast and have a full glass of water after. start with 1 tsp for a week then add to it over the next few weeks till you have 1 tbs. You can get the psyllium husk in any health food store. Take it at least 2 hours before or after you take any meds. I also eat a stalk of celery with the tea. I make up my own tea blends but rooibos is the main tea of the blends. The psyillium also has a good effect on diabetes and high blood pressure. I also put the psyllium husk into a drink that has taken me 2 year to balance right ingreadients. With the drink i haven't gotten a cold in over 5 years and have been able to get off diabetic meds and high blood pressure meds and also it has lowered my cholesterol and weight.

Fiber, liquids and essential fatty acids are what makes us "regular". Eat whole grain breads. Sesame seeds and flax seeds will make you regular, as will most nuts. Liquids add bulk to your stools, so make sure you drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day. (If you weigh 140, you would drink 70 ounces of water eacy day.) Eat lots of leafy green vegetables and fruit. Beans are good too. Cut back on cheese, which is constipating, and white breads and rice.
Make sure you get enough vitamins as well. The following link has more detailed information.

It's good to eat a lot of fruit, like pears, or watermelon. Also anything with high fibre in it. Like Bran muffins, or even raisin bran, anything with high dietary fibre is really good. One thing to avoid is milk, not entirely but ration it and drink less than usual.
Another good food to eat is beans, they may cause gas, but they also will help out. Eat oatmeal for breakfast, it works really well, and oats of any kind. If you don't like just plain oatmeal try Quaker's oatmeal in different flavours, or even a granola bar once in a while, even with a little chocolate.
Potatoes, broccoli, yams, soybeans, high fibre sources of food, you can have variety of different vegetable that help.

Moderate exercise will help, even walking and 5-7 almonds a day can help too. That's what I do and am regular. I don't drink sodas, and very light on juices. Natural food and fruits in season.

Add some ground flax seed to your cereal or desert. Sometimes if I am feeling like I need a bowel movement I will have a table spoon of ground flax seeds with a glass of water. Does the trick. Of course exercise and a veg diet with lots of water is the best.

I woudl suggest a fiber suppliment, try Psyllium Seed Husk, it is natural and easy on your digestive system (there is a capsule form that seems easier to down than the mix)

E). Japanese I love sushi, and there is NO experience dining out, that is more awesome than watching your food being cooked right before your eyes at a Japanese steak house! Will a cook juggle cooking utensils and raw eggs a foot away from your face at any other restaurant? I think not!
