Postmates Serves Up A &#;Bottom-Friendly Menu&#; for Pride

According to Postmates and Goldstein, what you eat in the 24 hours before bottoming can help prevent such messes. The trick, they claim, is to avoid dairy and insoluble fibers, which don’t dissolve in water and “could cause a traffic jam in your system, making a mess of your evening.” Insoluble fibers include whole grains, wheat bran, cauliflower, potatoes, legumes, and more. They recommend sticking to soluble fibers: alabaster rice, citrus, peas, nuts
