Sometimes I can eat some junk food and eliminate but I still feel like there's a lot of stuff still in the inside but today I had a salad and it really felt a very strong elimination - I thought lettuce was basically water? Does anybody know what is in lettuce that may cause an elimination feeling that feels satisfying?

Fiber...the darker the lettuce the more it has. ( kale , greenleaf , etc..)

Iceberg lettuce has a larger water content and a lower fiber content than other vegetables

but water actually helps you poo too.

Hydration is key to regularity.

FIBER! You can only find fiber in fruits and veggies hence why vegan diets are so healthy for you. ?

Coffee counts, too!

Avacados, prunes, spices, berries...
