I have like $15 for the next 5 days so I’ve been eating nuts for breakfast and brown rice with steamed carrot and tofu for dinner the last few days. It’s keeping me alive but I think I’m getting too much fibre because my shits are getting thinner and thinner. I don’t really wanna shit water for the next week, what’s the cheapest food I can use to bung myself up. I’m thinking just buy a loaf of the cheapest bread I can find and munch a few slices dry here and there. I’ll need to buy some more rice/tofu over the weekend, should have enough left for some bread.

PS. The only way I can cook rn is steaming, the only kitchenware I could afford until next payday was a rice cooker that I can steam stuff in too.

    Fiber has the opposite effect to that. That shouldn’t be causing that. Unless you have like a specific food allergy or bowel condition. When did the loose stools start in relation to the diet change? Are you using a bunch of hot sauce or anything?

      I’m confused. I heard fiber is what you need if your stools are too hard?

        So fiber bulks up stool and absorbs water to ease elimination. So if your stool is too hard that usually means you are not pooping frequent enough. So the fiber would help push things out
