A few tips for more efficient toilet paper use ?

It’s important to take any gut conditions, allergies, intolerances or requirements for low FODMAP foods into consideration. Not all of these options will suit everyone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Include prebiotic fibre. Good bugs in your gut feed on this fibre, helping them to multiply. Don’t bother with prebiotic supplements- there’s plenty in food!

2. Include probiotic (good bugs) rich foods including yoghurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut & miso. Supplements are also available.

3. Eat plenty of soluble (for softening) and insoluble fibre (for bulking). While some foods are richer in one type than the other- most fibre rich foods contain a combo of both. Because they work differently it is important to get both types. Too much soluble can lead to loose stools, and too much insoluble may cause constipation. In Aus the recommendation is approx 30g per day, but some need more or less.

4. Enough fluid is needed to make sure gut transit works! Contrary to popular thought- fluids like coffee and tea DO contribute to hydration (water is still king though)

5. Resistant starch moves through the small into the large intestine without being digested. While it is not technically a dietary fibre, it functions in a similar way. RS helps support a healthy gut by increasing good bacteria levels and has been shown to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer
