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.
I think generally it has to do with how much water soluble fiber you're consuming vs water insoluble fiber you eat. Iirc it's insoluble fiber that will goop up and slow your digestion down.
In this case I would buy either some off brand metamucil to see if that directly solves the problem, or try something like eating a large bowl of spiced lentils (cause that always slows me way down, sometimes too much).
