I have asked this question for 4 months. I'd make it 17 days then bam. I've discovered partially what causes it for me.
1- too much fiber I stopped the fibre supplements
2- a lot of red meat beef, lamb, etc
3- white potatoes including french fries. Sweet potato is fine.
4- too much takeout/fried food
5- not enough salads or veggies
6- not enough water
I can eat pizza but I need to have a salad at lunch. If I have subway, boom, it happens.
So I eat fish, chicken most nights. Occasional beef. Pork is fine.
I made it 5 weeks doing this. Had 2 stools in the afternoon (2nd of the day, the morning BM was perfect) strangely recently that were more solid and scrapey but it didn't retear. I am pretty sure that was a combination of bad food/less water.
But anyway, hope that helps
