I have found this forum very helpful so go through the many posts that are about this. For me, kefir, yoghurt , kiwi fruit and prunes/prune juice has helped me.

Pretty much. I make sure I eat at least one of them every day.

I tried to increase my fibre quickly and that was a disaster so I am a little more gentle now. I don’t fibre max as that seems to upset my tummy. Lots of trial and error.

Did anything occur in your life around this time that changed your body or schedule or mental health or anything?

to be honest i was anxious all summer but anxiety should induce pooping no?

Anxiety by itself won't make you go to the toilet. Often just makes you constipated. A different story if that anxiety is more intense. Panic attacks are one example. Here your brain is telling your body to escape. So hormones to empty your bowels are triggered so your body can more readily 'escape'.
