You've Been Pooping All Wrong by Trisha Pasricha MD. Get a bidet, eat more fiber and kiwis.

  And don't peel your kiwi, either.

    The primary study for kiwis notes: “Participants were instructed to consume the [green] kiwifruit without the skin.”

    The skin does add both fiber and nutritional value (gold skin is more enjoyable then green IMO), but it may not be well tolerated by all.

    “Depends”. This is a good tldr from NPR with the author of the book: <a href="https://www.npr.org/2026/04/11/nx-s1-5780065/gut-constipation-bloating-bowel-movement" rel="nofollow">https://www.npr.org/2026/04/11/nx-s1-5780065/gut-constipatio...
