An intestine comes out of the bag.
First, Gen Z started carrying “anxiety bags” filled with essentials to soothe their fragile senses, from fidget spinners to sour candy.
But for those who can’t think of anything more stressful than constipation — or, gasp!, clogging a public toilet seat — a “poopmaxxing bag” might be their No. 1 priority. 2.
And another woman is getting infected with it, which she says is loaded with nutrients that help keep her digestion normal and her tube in tip-top shape.
Hally – who declares in her TikTok bio that she wants to “make trash cool again” – has been making her own brand, sharing everything from her favorite “poopmaxxing snack bowl” to her “poop tap” for the bathroom.
But her “poopmaxxing purse” video has really caught on with digestive-challenged doomscrollers, racking up over a million views.
“I’m not playing to my full potential,” admitted one commenter after watching the video.
In it, Hally calls herself a “certified poopmaster” before dishing out her best bathroom must-haves, one by one — and, she noted, none of her recommendations are sponsored.
First, there is hygiene. Hally said that everywhere she goes, she brings at least one “debacle”, holding up individually wrapped Dude Wipes.
He also has seat covers – which he grabs from the public toilet – and even toilet paper for emergencies.
“I’ve also had a lot of situations where only after taking like—, I realize I’m out of toilet paper,” she said. “Never again!”
To make sure you’re regular, she packs oatmeal – a fan favorite among fitness and fiber junkies alike that’s full of soluble fiber to help soften stools.
He also shared packets of Gruns gummies, green gummies packed with fruits, vegetables and six grams of fiber for digestive health.
While fiber supplements are becoming more popular, it’s easy to add more to your diet by adding beans, more vegetables or chia seeds to the diet.
But suddenly increasing fiber intake can cause “uncomfortable GI symptoms like gas, bloating and constipation,” as Maura Donovan, a registered dietitian and medical education specialist in sports nutrition at Thorne, previously told The Post.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends about 25 grams of fiber a day for women and 38 grams for men — but it’s estimated that more than 90 percent of women and 97 percent of men fall short of that number.
“Those recommended daily allowances are a great amount to aim for, in an ideal healthy person,” Donovan says.
It can also be a very good thing.
“With a higher fiber diet, you may notice some changes in your bowel movements (hopefully, good ones!), but keep an eye on them to make sure they’re not too much of a change from what you’re used to,” she said. “This could be an indication that you are overdosing on fiber.”
Another surprise in Hally’s poop bag? A travel-sized spray bottle of “toilet spray,” which he said he only uses if everyone using the toilet doesn’t get sick from the ingredients.
More fiber is just one way to wick water more efficiently, but the way we respond to nature’s call can also be improved by reducing stress.
Forcing a bowel movement can lead to painful cracks in the skin and the veins around the anus to swell, increasing the risk of hemorrhoids.
