since giving up sugar/corn/wheat/barley/rye/oats/most potatoes/most oils, I haven't had a real problem with constipation. Image mebbe it will work for other people as well?

potatoes i eat a lot of. used to eat 4 servings of Japanese yams per day. now, working on lowering it to 4 servings every Sunday, and 2 servings, average, each of the other days.
but i ain't the nutritional gatekeeper in my jail cell. yes, i could choose to eat other things. but choices extremely limited.
yams are delicious. starchy. warm. savory. i love yams. i love potatoes. but yeah i know. carbohydrates. sugar. starch. should not eat so many potatoes.
the rest of the above merchandise, i do not eat a lot of.
unless, of course, you count sugar.
used to eat 2 Clif bars a day and 1 butterfinger. but that ended up as way too much sugar.
now it's 1 serving total of candy. kit kat/whoppers/chocolate. not much variety. kit kat has 22 grams sugar each. only supposed to eat 25 gram sugar per day. but that's ideal. and not many people are ideal. and they are still more or less asymptomatic.
inari sushi. 4 pieces. deep fried tofu. sushi rice. sugar and vinegar. ginger, lettuce, wasabi. apparrantly 4 pieces contain 22 grams sugar. same amount as a kit kat. but inari sushi is much less sweet than kit kat. but whatever. inari sushi takes up more volume (size) than kit kat. but not by much.
anyways, inari sushi cost 5 dollars for 4 pieces at safeway. 7 dollars at one whole foods and 8 dollars at a different whole foods.
trying to cut back on inari sushi.
but. love. inari. sushi.
the rest is 9 total servings fruit and veg a day. often more.
sometimes eat cereal. now that quit Clif bars and luna bars. cereal has about 10 grams sugar each serving. much less sweet than clif bar. and fewer calories too.
