yes... its exactly what it sounds like...
i know its weird talking about your... "duties" to people but...
all i want to know is if there is a type of...er...poop etiquette??!

why you ask??

well... recently i went on a diet to loose weight and to do that i had to change my eating habits.
i didn't eat certain things and ate more of certain other things
a couple days later, a regular day like any other... i had to use the bathroom then...BOOM!!!
my poop was PITCH BLACK and it didn't float
i was really weirded out by it (btw~ its usually brown and...floating... )
so thats how this...story... came to be...

does it mean your healthy or unhealthy when it looks a certain way
is there a way poop should look??
like the color...
texture...
size?
if it supposed to float..?

er............AWKWARDDD!!

i don't wanna get too deep into this but yea...
anyone have any... poop knowledge?

[Saebin :D]

LOL @ the topic =D
Sorry but i dont have any poop knowledge :X

[.:|`*♥chikepai♥*`|:.]

sounds like you got a bunch of toxins out.

I do know you should go more than once EVERY day. Most people dont. Not good. Don't worry about poop color and size and density unless theres blood in it. Not like it was so big it tore your butthole a little. Like too much blood to even think about it being anywhere near okay to be there.

other than that...you're fine.

LOLLL !

O___O !?
My god, I go like.. once every few days O___O;

[iyeiluj]

as long as you arent constipated or have diarrhea...you are fine...


take for example...if you et alot of green veggies or something...your poop is gonna be green the next time you go...



you should technically go poop after every meal....because you have BM and peristalsis and such...TEChNICALLY

[pekkles]

HAHAHA awkward topic indeed.

Don't worry about poop color and size and density unless theres blood in it.

That is definitely very good to know, though XD thank you~

[deportedkorean]

if it floats...that just means that there is gas in the poo...

...doesnt mean that your poo is less dense or anything...it can float...sink...whatever.

and my doc says that a healthy person should poo at least 4 times a week (not necessarily everyday...but sometimes poo frequency can go up to 3 times a day for some people).


it should also be a brown to a light brown color (not black), and should also be easy to pass...and apparently it should be the texture of peanut butter (according to about.com)

[Pol2ns7al2]

when i don't eat fruits and veggies for a while it become a pinkberry to wipe
i love it when it comes out all smoothly
less hassle
and stinks less

What Makes a Healthy Poop?

Your feces are a clear indicator of the health of your gastrointestinal tract. Dr. Mehmet Oz says, �At the end of the day you can analyze your body really effectively by looking at what comes out of your body."

So what should you look for? A healthy poop will be:

* Golden brown, which is due to pigments formed by the bacteria in the gut and bile from the liver. You want to make sure the color is normal because that tells you a lot about what�s going on in your gastrointestinal tract (more on color below).
* Formed into one long shape. Dr. Michael Levitt, an Australian colorectal surgeon who has written a book called The Bowel Book, says that the healthy human stool resembles the shape and consistency (although not the same color) of an unripe banana. Dr. Oz says " You don't want [pieces].� Some experts disagree, saying they don�t have to be well- formed. Patrick Donovan, N.D., a naturopath in Seattle, WA says �Stools don't have to be well- formed logs. They can disperse in the toilet water; they can break down."
* Nearly odorless.
* About 1 to 2 inches in diameter and 18 inches long.

What About Other Colors?

Sometimes we don�t see that �golden guru,� and are faced with something else instead. Here�s some insight into what those other colors might mean.

* Black: Feces can be black if dried blood is present in it from internal bleeding in the upper digestive tract. See a doctor if this is the case.
* Very Dark Brown: Drinking wine the night before may result in dark brown poop. This could also be the result of eating too much salt, or not enough vegetables.
* Yellow: One condition that can cause yellow poop is an infection known as giardia, a dangerous infection that can spread to others. Another cause of yellow poop may be a condition known as Gilbert's syndrome. See your doctor if you are consistently seeing yellow poop.
* Green: Babies often have green poop when they are given food for the first time. Children may have green or blue poop from certain illnesses or from ingesting food colorings. Adults may also have green poop if they eat large amounts of green, leafy vegetables or if they eat large amounts of foods with green food coloring. Light green poop may indicate excessive sugar in the diet. Green feces can also occur with diarrhea if bile salts pass through the intestine unchanged. Again, see a doctor if you are concerned!
* White/pale: Feces can appear white or pale after drinking barium sulfate, which is often given to patients getting an X-ray of the digestive tract. A white or pale stool may also be an indication of problems with the gallbladder or liver.
* Red: Bright red in the feces may be indicative of active bleeding, possibly the result of hemorrhoids. A magenta color may result form eating intense red food coloring, or red foods such as beets.

How Often Should I Poop?

Ah - the big question! Experts disagree on how often a person should poop. The National Institute for Diabetes, Kidney, and Digestive Diseases says three times a week is normal and healthy for some people. According to Ayurveda, an ancient Indian healing system, once a day is ideal. Other experts advocate once or twice a day, while still others say a person should have a bowel movement within two to three hours of a major meal- -or two to three times a day. So you can see that it really depends on who you talk to. My personal opinion is that you above all want to be regular in your pooping schedule, and that one poop a day is ideal.

When someone poops four times a day or more and the poop has a liquid consistency, this is referred to as diarrhea. When someone poops less than two or three days a week and the poop is hard, dry, and difficult to pass, this is known as constipation.

:D
I developed a habit of looking at my poop afterwards >_> To make sure I'm eating well.

[Kpianist]

it should float. if it sinks= too much processed food

[ilyoberst]

hahaha, this topic cracks me up..
even though it is a useful thing to know :/
uh i don't look at my messy when i'm finished. is THAT normal?
and the texture should be like peanut butter?
when my little doggy makes that kind of pewp i think he might be a little sick.
because he normally doesn't pewp like that. uh, so, yeah.
if dogs and humans can be compared pewpwise.

"About 1 to 2 inches in diameter and 18 inches long."
0____0 is anyone aware of how big that is???

[fiery_raye]

i heard a topic like this on the tyra banks show
so maybe you can find the video on youtube ?

[LiLChnKAn93L]

18 inches long ! wtheck hahhah jeeee

[bonbons]

It would make more sense if it was 18 cm long.....18 inches is just plain creepy and weird.

[CriticalHit]

If your poop was eighteen inches long... WOW!!! Mines usually breaks off into chunks.
Yeah you should poop everyday. Well... then again, I used to poop every couple days, but nowadays if I don't poop within a day then I feel like I have rocks in my belly. Also if your poop is always black you might have internal bleeding but I wouldn't worry about that because you don't seem to be complaining of anything else.
