Master 4 Key Elements to Create Your Own “Poop” Formula

After analyzing and deconstructing hundreds of popular poo water recipes, we identified four key scientific elements to diarrhea, forming the ultimate poop formula. Once you master this formula, you can create your own unique “poop drink.”

Formula: High-osmolarity foods + Plenty of water + Intestinal peristalsis stimulation + Right timing = Diarrhea

Don’t worry if you don’t understand it yet; we’ll break it down for you!

Element 1: High-osmolarity Foods (Retaining Water in the Intestines)

This varies per individual; you need to find what works for you. As we all know, poop comes from food. Some foods are particularly effective in inducing diarrhea, known as “high-osmolarity foods” or “high FODMAPs” in scientific terms. One major cause of diarrhea is creating a hyperosmotic environment in the intestines, retaining water that wouldn’t normally stay there. The components of these foods are the key to creating that environment. Imagine food residue, laden with water, speeding towards the anus without dehydrating into solid poop... and voila, you have diarrhea.

Common High-osmolarity Foods:

• Milk/Dairy Products: Lactose is the key. Many Chinese people are lactose intolerant, meaning their bodies can’t digest lactose effectively. While a small amount might be fine, too much can cause bloating or even explosive diarrhea.
• Fruits with Sugar Alcohols or Oligosaccharides: Fruits like dragon fruit and prunes contain high levels of these components, which can also lead to diarrhea.
• Sweeteners and Sugar Substitutes: Common examples include fructose, honey, xylitol, and artificial sweeteners. In small amounts, they’re harmless, but in larger quantities, they can trigger diarrhea.

Element 2: Plenty of Water

Pairing with high-osmolarity foods, ample water intake is crucial for quick results. Many people don’t drink enough water daily, leading to hard stools and difficulty passing them. Drinking a large glass of water can be like a drought-relief for your poop!

Element 3: Intestinal Peristalsis Stimulation

Effective for some people, often aiding the diarrhea process. Intestinal peristalsis is the movement that pushes poop forward. Stimuli like cold, spicy food, and coffee can speed this up.

• Cold Stimulation: Eating cold food can trigger a faster intestinal response in some people, especially those with irritable bowels.
• Coffee: Known to stimulate bowel movements in some people, though studies suggest this affects only 29% of the population.
• Hidden Laxatives: Ingredients like senna, aloe, and cassia seed can stimulate the intestines but may cause dependency and should be avoided for regular use.

Element 4: Right Timing

Morning or after meals are the best times. Timing your consumption correctly can greatly enhance the effect. Most people have a natural bowel movement reflex in the morning or after meals. Adding a bit of stimulation at these times can make the process much smoother.

Popular DIY Recipes:

• Milk + Tea: Combines milk (high-osmolarity) and plenty of water. Chilling it or drinking it after meals increases the chances of diarrhea.
• Red Fruit Sister: Includes dragon fruit (high FODMAPs) and cold water.

Why Do So Many People Want to Have Diarrhea?

Upon examining influencer posts and comments, it’s clear that the real desire is for regular bowel movements, not diarrhea. Some seek it for weight loss, believing that “what goes out doesn’t count.” Others want to relieve constipation, as not pooping for days can be distressing.

A Word of Caution:

Achieving “poop freedom” shouldn’t be taken lightly.

👇Constipation patients need to meet the following👇

One day without pooping doesn’t necessarily mean constipation.

And while cleansing or detox trends might seem appealing, they don’t actually contribute to weight loss since most of what’s expelled is food residue, not body fat.

Moreover, severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration and disrupted gut flora, causing more harm than good.

Conclusion:

People today are going to great lengths for “poop freedom,” but remember, your body’s natural rhythm should be respected.

Don’t overdo it with these DIY recipes.
