I’ve taken influencer advice on increasing my fiber intake

But I am taking an unsustainable number of poops. Hear me out, I’m a one poop a day man. Reliable, easy to plan, a single highly appreciated slot of me-time. But now, the pooping is getting out of … hand. I’m talking three minimum, dare I say 5. Heck, there was a day I did 7. And I’m not talking bunny droppings here. It feels like there’s a micro biome war going on, and I’m just here to expel the fallen soldiers. When you fill in mental health questionnaires a key question is: does it affect your work or relationships. I’m tipping my toes in that territory.

On a more serious note: it’s been a week now of increasing fiber intake slowly, will the frequency settle down or is this the price I have to pay for a healthy gut. My Achilles heel
