EEEP!! MORE water???

i drink tons o water everday. my husband makes fun of me because i pee literally like 25 times a day.

maybe the past couple weeks i have been slacking.

i will certainly be more conscious of my water intact.

thanks for the poop tips!

I was always tormented with poops as a child. Every time I went to a friends house I got terrible diarrhea, like clog the toilet and have to explain to their parents and my friend.

Then in college I had only rabbit poos, once a week sometimes. Now I poo upwards of two times a day...and huge! It amazes me what can come out of my small body!

Also, my pomeranian can poop poos (hahaha) the length of her legs....very impressive.

my kid clogged up the jakes at a beach house we were invited to and was mortified. she was acting all weird and i figured out what was happening and went all bathroom-ninja with her to fix the problem and told her there are hordes of vegan people who would laugh and nod knowingly, and that she shouldn't be ashamed.

to whomever up thread is dealing with new vegan constipation- too much beans and brown rice and not enough veg and fruit sounds like a bad combination, regardless of how much you drink. more greens!! have a green smoothie or a super salad and some fruit (NOT applesauce and bananas, but summer fruits) and your problem should go away.

And Barium!!! dirty khakis!! my kid had at least 5 of the barium experiences and her poos were white, but she was fed a mostly white pre-digested liquid diet so it wasn't that surprising. white poo is much more fun when it comes out of the dog's bum (post-bone chomping poop is white and chalky).

have i bragged before about how I have never been constipated ever in my life. Even in the dark days when Id eat 20 bucks in jack in the box or multiple entrees of shitty chinese food and wash it down with soda (although the former and latter seem like theyd lend themselves to diarrhea more so)

anyways I just want to say that since I have had my bidet going I am still on the same roll of TP for the past 2 months. Cleaner bunghole and less tree killing...hooozaaaa!

So jealous...

There is a japanese bbq place on la cienega where in the women's bathroom is the holy grail of toilets! It has a little computer next to it with about 10 different options including: seat warmer, front and back bidet, front and back air drier, and a freshener spritz...

The experience was magical.

There's a toilet you can get here that sprays down and air dries your arse, I want one.

Help me poop, PPK. Surgery was Thursday morning. I pooped a tiny amount before they let me leave the hospital, but nothing since then. I started eating solid foods on Saturday morning with a bowl of cream of rice cereal and some saltines. Sunday I had more saltines and some corn chowder and a spelt bagel. Today I've eaten another bagel and an Amy's tamale meal. Along with drinking lots of fluids, I've been doing plenty of walking around and some gas has passed, but nothing solid. I'm on hydrocodone and taking the stool softener they gave me. What can I eat to make myself go? Obviously I don't want to strain so that my stitches pop or anything, but I'm starting to worry.

A high dose of Vitamin C fatcat, I find it particularly useful to take some on an empty stomach before bed too. Green smoothies with flax added too.

I'm glad to hear your surgery went well <3 xxx

I don't have any vitamin C pills around - can I just drink a bunch of orange juice?

Thanks Fezza - <3 right back at you!

The orange juice might help a bit, have you any apple cider vinegar in the house? It's meant to help too, I suppose anything that raises stomach acid. Extra magnesium as well, although it makes me constipated!

Ooohh, I think smoothie drank some salt water when she had this problem and it helped!

I... I.. found you this video http://www.howcast.com/videos/180535-Ho ... -Naturally

You're welcome.

Wow. There's a video for everything, isn't there? Thank you so much - I'm going to try the acupressure and flaxseed things.

Mission accomplished! Thanks Fezza!

Whoohoo! When the internet goes right! <3

It's very annoying when you feel like you need to poop; then you sit down and and your body's like, "What poop? You don't need to poop."

Did I post this on the old boards? If so, I'm sorry. I have a terrible memory.

Anyway, in college I lived in a dorm and we had public bathrooms. I did (and still do) have pooping in public phobia, so I would poop at night when everyone else was asleep and the bathrooms were empty. Well, my roommate and friends caught on, and one night they full on accosted me when I was doing my thing by spraying cans of air freshener under the stall - while I was in there. So.not.funny. I can laugh about it now but my then-fragile self was mortified. After that I made poop trips to the library to use the private bathroom.

I had my first beet poop today.

"OMG!!! I'M DYINGGGGGG... oh wait..."

Thankfully I remembered that could be an issue. I'm new to the whole beet thing.

All I'm going to say is... I just found out that espresso is a laxative. :x

I was really curious about beet poo. Then I was let down, since nothing happened the first time. Second time, i thought it looked funny and then I realized why.

I let my friend taste my drink on Saturday, shortly after she left early complaining of a headache and feeling sick. The next day I blamed my sickness on drinking beer for the first time in years. But nope, the stench of death has been visited upon the fezza house several times this week. I told my gp that I think the bug is lingering because I'm not getting proper trotts (the sickness and burning cramps every time I eat are the worst things). We agreed I should start back on magnesium and see if the irritation helps. Either it's the magnesium or I didn't heat my Dal properly last night but, Jesus wept, this better be worth it. Begone fiery hole of evil!

How do you prove Vegans are the best poopers? (hint: Stool Penetrometer) Check out this video - as an added bonus you can see where you rate on the Bristol Stool Scale:

Have you ever wondered which Country poops the most? Probably not, but NOW you are, so check out this one too:

America! We can poop better than that!
