5 Reasons You're Not Pooping Every Day

Going every other day isn't normal. It's a sign something's off. Here's what's getting in the way.

Doctors consider one to three bowel movements a day healthy.

Most people aren't close. If your bathroom schedule is unpredictable, uncomfortable, or just not happening, here's why.

01

You're not eating enough fiber.

The target is 25-38 grams a day. Most people get 10-15. Below that threshold, your colon doesn't have enough bulk to do its job.

Fiber isn't a bonus. It's the mechanism. Without enough of it, digestion slows down, stool gets harder to pass, and your gut bacteria start to suffer. Most chronic constipation traces back to this one problem.

02

You're not drinking enough water.

Fiber and water work together. Soluble fiber absorbs water and forms a gel that keeps things soft and moving. Without enough water, that same fiber can actually make constipation worse.

Eight cups a day is the baseline, more if you're active or increasing your fiber intake. Most people drink plenty of coffee and not nearly enough water.

03

You're not moving enough.

Your gut needs your body to move in order to move things along. Physical activity keeps digestion going. A full day sitting still means a full day of slower gut function.

This is why travel constipation is real and why desk workers struggle more than people who are on their feet. Even a 20-minute walk after a meal makes a measurable difference.

04

Your gut bacteria are out of balance.

The bacteria in your gut decide how fast things move. The right balance keeps digestion efficient. The wrong balance slows everything down.

Prebiotic fiber is what tips the balance back. It passes through your stomach undigested and feeds the beneficial bacteria in your colon. Most people aren't getting any of it, which means the bacteria causing the most problems are winning.

05

You're stressed, and your gut feels it too.

Your gut and brain are directly connected. Stress, bad sleep, and anxiety all slow digestion down, sometimes as effectively as a bad diet. That's why a rough week at work can back you up just as much as eating nothing but fast food.

Stress is harder to fix than fiber. But getting your fiber right first gives your gut a better starting point.

Most of this comes back to one thing.

Every reason on this list has fiber somewhere in the chain.

Liquid+® Salad has 8 grams of real-food prebiotic fiber per pouch, from four sources that feed the bacteria controlling how efficiently things move. Being a liquid helps it work. Closing the fiber gap is where real improvement in gut health starts.

Under 50-60 calories. Tastes like apple juice with a hint of veggies. Three seconds, no prep. One pouch a day.

Worth it!

I have a hard time getting enough veggies throughout the day and this makes it so easy! I'm so glad it tastes great as well. I was skeptical, but I have been drinking them for a week now and I love it. Great way to get more fiber as well.

"Slurping from juice packs for nutrition" wasn't on my 2026 bingo card

Liquid Salad has me hooked. On a high-protein, high-fiber eating regimen I often struggled with getting my fruits and veggies. Now I don't worry, and I'm eager for the taste of Liquid Salad. Glad I subscribed for monthly delivery!

I love it so much

It’s been such a game-changer for getting my vitamins and fiber. Somehow I forgot how important fiber is for your body over the years - but spoiler alert - it’s massively important. I tried eating whole fruits and vegetables but they usually ended up going bad. So grateful for liquid salad, and that it actually tastes good! I would still keep ordering even if it didn’t, tbh 😆

Recommend!

I'm terrrrrrrrible at eating enough fruits and veggies. When I saw these, I felt skeptical that I'd actually be able to consume them. I don't care for smoothies, I don't like most fruits. But I ordered them anyway figuring even if they were gross I could probably choke them down. I actually enjoy the flavor (my partner doesn't but they don't like sweeter things). I've been drinking one everyday and they really are a great addition to my day. Sometimes I have no breaks and it's great to be able to "eat my veggies" each day. And I'm noticing the benefits of the fiber, ;)

FAQs

  • What does it taste like?

    Liquid+® salad tastes like apple with a hint of veggies! It's very much on the sweet side with notes of greens, and even better chilled, so we recommend popping it in the fridge before drinking. Let us know what you think!

  • How often can I enjoy it?

    We recommend starting with 1 pouch per day during Week 1 to let your gut microbiome adapt to the prebiotic fiber in Liquid+® salad. Then, increase gradually (e.g. an extra pouch per week) until you reach your personal fiber goals and comfort level. Pouches are shelf-stable, so keep a stash in your bag or pantry and just pop one in the fridge before you're ready to drink.

  • How long till you see results?

    Research shows that the gut microbiome begins adapting within just a few days, with noticeable benefits often appearing after 1–2 weeks. That’s also when many customers tell us they start feeling the difference — more energy, less bloating, smoother digestion and more frequent trips to the bathroom.

  • Can I take other supplements with Liquid+®?

    Yes, Liquid+® salad has been carefully formulated to supplement a wide range of diets and routines, including alongside other greens products like AG1 or Gruns.

  • What percentage of Americans don't get enough fiber, and how does Liquid+® help?

  • How much fiber do I need per day, and does Liquid+® salad cover it?

    Most adults need 25g to 38g of fiber a day; the average person gets around 17g. One pouch of Liquid+® salad delivers 8g of prebiotic fiber (which is up to a third of your daily recommended fiber) from real produce, a meaningful chunk of that target in seconds.

  • What nutrient deficiencies are most common in the American diet, and which does Liquid+® salad address?

    Fiber tops the list, alongside magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, D, and E. Liquid+® salad is built around closing the fiber gap first, delivering 8g of prebiotic fiber, 15% DV vitamin A, 20% DV vitamin D, and 45% DV vitamin E in every pouch.

  • What does it cost to get enough fiber from food alone, and how does Liquid+® salad compare?

Liquid+® salad runs about $1.78 a day on subscription and delivers 8g of prebiotic fiber from 13 real fruits and vegetables in one pouch, no shopping or prep required.

  • What foods help with constipation?

    Fiber-rich foods like apples, kale, broccoli, and ginger are commonly recommended for constipation relief, along with prebiotic fibers like chicory root that feed the gut bacteria that keep digestion moving. Liquid+® salad is made with all of these, apple, kale, broccoli, ginger, and chicory root inulin, delivering 8g of prebiotic fiber in one pouch. If constipation is frequent or severe, check with your doctor.
