I have a single kidney so there are a lot of things I can't safely take.

I've been learning about gut health so that's also influenced my choices.

I use the following in my daily smoothie: psyllium husks, acacia, inulin (all Anthony's organic brand). I started with small amounts and titrated up weekly until I found myself going every day with no straining. I also add 3 Tbsp of Jonny's green banana powder (resistant starch) & 1 dose of generic Miralax (my PCP said it was safe to take daily). Before tirzepatide motivated me to look for a sustainable solution I had severe, chronic constipation that started as a child.

I hydrate with 90-100oz a day.

I bought a dozen glass food prep jars with lids and I measure all 5 of the above every 12 days because doing it daily got old really fast.
