It adds more mass to your poop making it bigger so it easier for your bowel to move it along.

I don’t know exactly how it works, but I think it just helps you pass your bowel movement more easily.

Thank you for that, @canidmajor! It should explain everything.

Just make sure not to imbibe too much of it, or you will die

When people tell me they’re constipated, I tell them to try eating an apple every day and drink a lot of water.

@ragingloli Thanks for the video. I went through a similar situation in junior high were I ate enough Raisin Bran to equal one of Total cereal. I spent a week in the hospital twice.
