The simple trick that empties your bowels is to drink a glass of warm water that is mixed with some fresh lemon juice the first thing in the morning.

Consuming a teaspoon of olive oil in the morning on an empty stomach is also another trick to empty your bowels as it encourages stool to flow through your gut.

The olive oil also acts like a lubricant in your digestive system which makes it easier for any solids to slide through and also softens up your poop which makes it easier for your bowels to empty completely.

Some ways to empty your bowels include.

Drink up to 8 glasses of fluid per day e.g. water, milk, soups and juices.
Limit caffeine drinks to 2 per day.
Eat food high in soluble fiber (pasta, rice, vegetables and fruit).
Limit foods high in insoluble fiber (bran and muesli).

It is considered normal to empty your bowel between three times a day and three times per week.

A bowel movement should be easy to pass.

To occasionally experience some degree of urgency, straining or incomplete emptying is acceptable.

When your bowels are empty your poop should be clear, yellow, light and liquid.

The presence of dark particles or thick brown or black poop means that you are not ready for colonoscopy.

If your poop is not clear after taking your entire bowel prep agent, you may need additional prep agent.

You don't need to poop every day to be regular.

It's normal and healthy to have a bowel movement anywhere between three times a week to three times a day.

 If you're producing soft, well-formed logs that aren't hard to push out, your bowels are probably in good shape.

You can also empty your bowels by drinking a glass of lemon juice or some lemon juice added to some water.

Emptying your bowels easily is an important part of good bowel health and can help keep the muscles that control your bowels active and strong.
