William is right - every day isn't necessary.  But if it goes past 2 or 3 
days I get proactive.

Slow-cook your meats for at least 4 hours (longer you cook it, the easier 
it is to break down) and drink the fat with it.  You may find that some 
meats "block you up" more than others (for me pork is the easiest to 
digest, beef takes a little longer).  Eat lots of spinach and lots of good 
fat.  But if that's not enough - and sometimes it isn't - eat one banana or 
5 prunes after consuming a day's worth of low-carb meals.  Another option 
is sour apples (they are naturally low in sugar and fibery, although not 
quite as effective as bananas or prunes).  If you're sticking to a VLC 
(very low carb) diet the rest of the day, then this amount of fruit will 
bring your carb cal percent (daily calories from carbs) to no higher than 
10 or 11%, which is manageable from a candida standpoint.

Also spend more time standing, less time sitting, and add some 
bending/squatting routines to your exercise regimen.  Often I find that the 
need to evacuate makes itself known about 15 minutes after doing deep 
squats or crouching maneuvers.  Another benefit of this is your leg muscles 
will get toned up!
