I really pumped up the fiber for quite some time, drank plenty of water with it but it didn't seem to work. I actually felt more constipated. Then I started reading how some think overdoing the fiber is actually too hard on the intestines and that improving the gut flora is better for you. So I found a (reportedly) really good probiotic and took that regularly. Not much difference in the bm frequency. Then I added some extra magnesium and found the bm to be a little more regular, but not much.
With a cut in how much I eat, there were less bm. When I cut grains and legumes from my diet, even less bm. I eat plenty of veggies but the only veg that seems to have any bm impact (in the right way) is spinach and other dark greens. I don't have a movement every day, or even every other day. But when it happens, it seems to be several times in a day. That seems to be how my intestines roll.
