    Some people are sensitive to an enzyme in beans as well, I’m blanking on what it’s called atm. But I’m a vegetarian that eats beans like 3-5 times a week and my poops are legendary the day after eating them. Lentils too, to a lesser degree

      I lack that enzyme genetically. I am allergic to alcohol, and so when my stomach can’t digest beans corn, or even eggs, they sit in my intestines, start to ferment, and I am in a world of hurt.

      But good shits are the point. Fiber takes on water in your gut which increases the volume of the shit in question and it makes them super soft or lose shape entirely. Pretty much all my shits are like that because of my high fiber intake.
