If you're looking for information on what to eat to help you go to the bathroom , this guide is for you.
1. Bitter Leaves
Arugula, watercress, dandelion, endive
Bitter leaves are known to stimulate digestion and the liver , two key elements for an active gut. Include them in salads or juices at breakfast.
2. Hydrated Seeds
Flaxseed or chia seeds soaked in water
When properly hydrated, they form a gel that soothes the intestines and helps to "push" the intestinal contents. A tablespoon in water, left to sit for 15 minutes, is enough to activate this effect.
3. Fruits with Peel
Apple, pear, kiwi (organic, with peel)
They are rich in insoluble fiber , which increases the volume of food in the digestive tract, facilitating bowel movements. Kiwi, in particular, contains actinidin , an enzyme that stimulates transit.
4. Detox Drops from MPL Beauty
One of the most effective habits for regulating the intestines: taking Detox Drops on an empty stomach . These drops contain chlorophyll, lemon, and digestive plants that activate the liver and digestion first thing in the morning . They are easy to take, effective, and gentle.
5. Sweet potato
Rich in soluble fiber and resistant starch , it helps regulate the intestines without causing bloating. Preferably steamed or baked with extra virgin olive oil.
6. Ripe mango
Contains fiber and digestive enzymes that stimulate bowel movements in a natural and pleasant way. Ideal as a snack or mixed into a smoothie.

❌ Foods to avoid if you have constipation:
-
White bread
-
Refined flours
-
Overly aged cheeses
-
Refined sugar

Very dry food, low in fiber.
These foods tend to "dry out" the intestines and hinder transit.

FAQs: What to eat to help your bowels function
What can I eat to help me go to the bathroom naturally?
Foods rich in fiber, such as soaked chia seeds, cooked vegetables, oatmeal, and fruits like kiwi or plums. But just as important as what you eat is when and how you eat it —the body needs rhythm and rituals.
Are there foods that cause constipation?
Yes — too much white bread, aged cheeses, red meat, excessive coffee (without hydration), or a very dry diet lacking in healthy fats can slow down intestinal transit.
What are the best foods to reduce bloating and loosen the bowels?
Kiwi on an empty stomach, soaked prunes, ground flax seeds, vegetable soup, oatmeal with olive oil or coconut oil. Detox drops on an empty stomach also help to stimulate the liver and intestines naturally.
Do I need to drink more water?
Yes. Without hydration, fiber doesn't work. Drink water between meals, right after waking up, and whenever you introduce more fibrous foods. Constipation often starts with dehydration.
Is there a simple recipe that works?
Yes. A glass of warm water with lemon and Detox Drops , followed by a breakfast of chia seeds, fresh fruit, and a healthy fat (such as almond butter or olive oil) is a good way to activate your bowels first thing in the morning.
How long does it take to take effect?
Every body has its own rhythm — but with consistency, it's possible to see improvements in just a few days. If you need deeper support, the Super Detox Capsules with triphala, chlorella, and spirulina are ideal for releasing toxins and restoring intestinal balance.
Could stress be blocking my intestines?
Yes. The gut responds directly to the nervous system. Stress blocks the parasympathetic system—responsible for digestion and elimination. Techniques such as deep breathing, pauses, and abdominal massage with Gua Sha are very helpful.
Do I need to take supplements to be able to go to the bathroom?
No. But they can help. Detox Drops and Super Detox Capsules are formulated to give the body a gentle and natural boost—without creating dependence. They are a support, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
What if nothing works?
In this case, it's important to observe other signs: sleep quality, anxiety levels, sedentary lifestyle, or food intolerances. The gut is a mirror of the whole body. It's worth listening carefully.
