Well, I went on a boy's fishing trip for a week, and you know what that means...lots of good food, but, at least in my case, very little fiber. Just meat, eggs, carbs, and dessert. Decadent, but a bit different from my usual Paleo way of eating. So, to make a long story short, I was a little backed up after the trip, which has never happened to me before. So, I read up on cleanses, etc, but they all seemed like scams, so I just bought some Psyllium called "Secrets of the Psyllium" at Trader Joe's and took that for 3 days. It's not a laxative, it just lubes the pipes. On day two I had a poo-gasm. Just came out easy, no diarrhea or anything. Just lots of firm-ish, somewhat intestinally shaped stuff. Came out like it was wrapped in saran wrap. Clean and easy. Psyllium is very cool. Just add half a glass of water to a few tablespoons and drink it IMMEDIATELY before it expands. It expands in your bowels and coats and lubes up what's in there.

Psyllium is the sh*@, so to speak
This post is a bit graphic as to body functions so please stop reading if you don't want to hear about my intestinal adventures. I'm writing this in the hope that it helps someone.
