There's one thing that is may be, well, shitty. Do you drink your iced coffee that makes you want poop always around the same time? .. because, our guts are a brain for themselves. It can be trained to "empty" at certain times of the day. May be you trained your guts to empty at certain times (when you get to your iced coffee) with a very strong argument (the iced coffee) unintentionally?

Then, you need to eat more of things that have more dietary fibers.

And then, it takes some time. I would try to make a sugar free diet and reduce sugar and fruit sugar wherever is possible - also it's replacements, artificial sugars. Better drink water with just a drop of Sirup or water mixed fruit juice instead of a coke/sprite/gatorade... Better not that pastries.. prefer less sugar.

Sugar is actually "bad" for our guts bacteria composition. Reduce it for half a year and see the effects.

And then, you may start to train your gut by just sitting on the toilet - but, put a small footstool beneath your feet. That simulates the most natural way of sitting down for a shit in the wild. Relax.

One is set sure every day: Shit happens.

This is actually what my dad has told me. I feel he's crazy because there's just no way to shit if you are empty. I guess I have to reconsider it...

Do you have sources? I actually watched some doctors saying when you are having a stomachache go get some sweetened (but not too sweentend lol) water. So I've always assumed that sugar is good for our guts.

You can look it up "sugar microbiom". Our gut and the 2.5 kg of bakteria in it are our defense against everything and is strongly needed for a good sit-down. Just like chronic diarrhea is caused by a non-working microbiom, the ultra-fat people suddenly start to lose weight after a stool-transplantation.. or, our immunity system is highly influenced by the microbiom.

The microbiom consists of different bacteria stems and fungi that fight for food as a question of live-or-die. If you have a high intake of sugar, you give the ones of the fungii and bac.stems an advantage, that specialized on splitting raw sugar for energy. Sugar is the most easiest shape of energy for the foes. So, they will grow faster than the other bacteria/fungi, eventually pushing out competition. But all of them gut's contents have a purpose and having one competitor being pushed out would mean, some purpose is not fulfilled.

So.. eat more of dietary fibers, less sugar and more of things like bread, milk products, rice and noodles, potatos. Less fat-fried and sweetened things. You'll see a difference after a few weeks. Beetroot somehow has a good effect on shitting too xD
