    i find that I have significantly less problems with heartburn when I remember to eat enough fiber. eating more veggies, pulses, wholegrain bread and fruit helps me a lot

      Yeah but I’d rather shit a brick once or twice a day than have runny poop 5 times a day

        do you have an intolerance or something? as long as you build up your intake of fibre relatively slowly eating more of it (both soluble and insoluble) should help you be more regular, unless you have some condition of course

          No, my body is very used to eating lots of fiber, that’s not the issue. I just eat a ton of calories because I’m very physically active, so even when I pay attention to eating foods with little fiber I still get around 50 grams per day, at least when bulking.
