Well, here's what I know: milk and cereal at 10 AM = diarrhea and the newspaper at 2 pm.

I don't know what kind of dairy consumption you take in, but I drink at least one eight ounce glass of milk a day and plenty of cheese and have never had a problem. I know there is not a difference for me because my doctor once thought I might be allergic to dairy and made me go a month without it and none of my BM's changed the slightest.

I imagine if you eat lots and lots of dairy, it will have the same effect on you as any other product eaten in mass quantity like the olestra grease or mcdonalds hamburgers. Too many of those and the squirts are unavoidable to most people...

well, all i can say is that -in my experience- this is very true. if i stay away from such things as dairy and fruits for a few days, sometimes wiping does me no good, my poo is nice and firm, but the protein and water in the dair/fruit/grease/whatever else makes your poo "sludgy", therefore you waste a fortune on such things as toilet paper and water(extra flushing)

anyway, good article!

whoa- are you THE shitman? The shitman that smears poo on stalls in the portland area?

Shitman is that you or not? I am hungry and I want you to smear your shit on me then I will lick myself clean.

Please let it be you!

I'm a biologist by training, and I just don't buy the whole casein thing. Histamines do come from immune responses, but the digestive lining cells don't have enough mucin producing capability to, well, turn your poo to snot (as seems to be suggested in the article). The histamines don't just flood your body with water, either. They affect gates and channels in specific tissues (most obvious is the sinus epithellium), but not in the digestive tract. They also cause vasodilation, ensuring that blood rich with immune cells can reach the offending area. I've never heard of a type I immune reaction (antibody-antigen mediated cell response) occuring in the digestive system (with the exception of people with legetimate food allergies, and no, people are not allergic to milk despite what the media tells us, but more on that in a second). "Milk allergies" are actually enzyme difficiencies; there's no immune involvment what so ever. People's ability to produce lactase (which breaks down milk's primary sugar, lactose) decreases as they age, but it's all tied to our genes; some people suffer from the decrease (because they decrease more), and others don't. If you give a glass of milk to someone that doesn't drink milk, and never has (an underdeveloped country is perfect), they'll get the runs no matter how old they are, simply because they lack the necessary enzyme. Casein is a fairly common protein, so I don't think that's the problem.

not a bad story though.

This milk issue has been brought up before by many intellects and I am on the side of anti-milk. Milk is a food for babies to use so they can gain size and weight via a fatty substance that is liquid. When you have reached a point to be weaned you are no longer in need of milk. If the modern dairy was not invented....or hell if cow milking was not invented by hand even........would you go and suck a cow teat?

That milk is meant for calfs...not people. Although since it is treated with all sorts of chemicals and the cow injected with homones to make her milk a long time........well I can't say it is natural milk. I've read somewhere that store bought milk is so laced in chemicals that a baby calf fed that stuff would die in under 2 weeks.

Good article

I believe strongly in the milksucks.com webpage. I hate milk and low grade dairy stuff. it can make my stomach go nuts!

Are there any human diseases associated with having large bowel movements. I stop up the toilet every time...and I do mean each and every time...I have a bowel movement which is not long after I eat each meal. My daughter does the same thing. We both have some serious health issues. Thus, the question.

Thanks

I have recently had the misfortune to subscribe to the NotMilk newsletter, as helping people reduce the amount of milk products people consume is one of my concerns. Although the website is fairly straightforward, the newsletters are bizarre, and contain rants against environmentalists, feminists and prochoice groups. When I wrote to ask why these topics were included in a newsletter about milk I started receiving aggressive and strange replies. I have come to the conclusion that this person is mentally disturbed. One of his last replies when asked if there was some underlying religious theme of why he was talking about non-milk subjects was to state that he does as the Reverend Sun Hyung Moon directs. Rev. Moon is the leader if the "Moonies", whom most people consider a cult, and which appears to have nothing to do with not drinking milk. His reply emails are bizarre, and I hope he does not turn off any people who have serious inquiries regarding scientific facts about milk. Good thing I am already vegetarian, or else I would think veggies were wackos.

Just my opinion, of course.

Transcripts of emails are available.

I am suffering from a most embaressing case of sludge! As an Englisg dignatory I am curently in Transylvania opening new schools and monestries but the local produce has reduced me to a nervous wreck if I'm away from the laterine for more than five minutes. How can one salute the queen with effluent dribbling down ones legs? I have to get my valet to clear it up but there is still the a frightful pong!

Steer clear of Romanian dairy products!

When I crap, it smells so nasty, so revulting, so,so,well, let me put it this way, my whole family will start yelling at me when ever i take a poo-poo brake. There is something very wrong avec moi, when i crap, i look down between my legs to see a nasty, horrifying, disturbing sight. I crap out purple poop! Umm, is that normal? I know this isn't, i crap out two terds at the same time. I have an extra bone going through where my crack should be. It small and cuts right throught my anus. I'm not really allergic to anything but butterflies. Email me your concerns at togic_8@hotmail.com

just wanted to make the observation that an English Dignitary, such as Lord Shit Rich claims to be, might have a better grasp of the English language and grammar.

Verty educational article. I must be one of the lucy few. I Drink about 16oz of milk a day, and eat lots of cheese, yet I produce a very large, firm, and healthy looking bowel movements every morning between 7:15 and 7:45am. About 1/2 of these are wipeless.

Let's look at something else. What do livestock eat? Natural, chemical free foods (generally). Cats and dogs eat lots of nutrient rich foods. We (most of us anyway) eat lots of processed foods, refined sugars, addatives and preservatives, food colorings, BHA, BHT, MSG, nitrates, refined flour, hormones, the list goes on and on. Just look at the ingrediants in Cheez Whiz. 9 times out of 10, that Cheez Whiz is being put on some form of processed food.

All of this junk takes its toll on the body. I watch what I eat, and cleanse twice a year. My bowels have not changed at all since my teens, and I am now 30. Good quality mineral supplements are antoher benefit to the body.

Milk may not be the best thing for the body, but it is minimal to the other things that humans eat.

Watch out for the deadly F4, though he's been gone since '53, he will be back.

I am the deadly F4..... Bwahahahaha!!! I hate it when you have a toilet that gets clogged really easily. My poop is sometimes green... Is there a certain diet that will result in pretty colored poop?

i shall shit the rainbow some day!!!

im going to try to find safe and effective ways to, well crap the rainbow. dont no how but ill find a way....

Shoot for April 18th, Turd, its Poop for Peace Day.

Of course, thats kind of short notice, so if you can't come up with a rainbow turd by the 18th, maybe change your goal to shitting the 5 Olympic Rings this summer...that would be pretty cool too.

April 18th!! Boy thats sure coming up fast. I'll have to start holding back some now.

what i ment was im going to make my crap different indiidgual colors, like red, blue, ect. ive alredy started by eating beats, 1 can a day 4 a week.

Oh for christ sake!!! I thought you were a professional!!! That amateur crap fest has been done to death, I thought you had really laid a challenge on yourself, Turd, but no, just another poser,trying to make a name for himself. I was ready to idolize you, worship you, kiss the ground you trod upon, but no, another wannabe....(sigh) my life sucks.

Milk still does a body good. Some guy on TV just told how important Vitamin D is, and milk is one of the main sources. It is a natural product, just as much as fruits and veggies, and probably has fewer additives (though I guess that depends on what the cowies are fed). I know that certain people are lactose intolerant. I, thankfully, am not: my bowels produce the same sort of stuff whether I drink milk or not; and mostly I do drink it. Certainly as babies we are expected to have milk, and for most of us, that need continues.

Milk has much more additives than fruits or vegetables unless it says Organic. Milk has antibiotics in to to prevent the cow from getting nipple infections because she has to produce much more milk than is natural for her. When a human baby is a baby, it is not supposed to get cow milk anyway, but human milk because human milk has less protein, and when your diet has more protein, calcium is not absorbed well. When that baby gets older it is supposed to be weaned and drink no more milk. We don't need milk to get calcium, we drink it because we're too lazy to eat the right foods like spinach or mustard greens. Milk being good for us is an old wive's tale and a myth that older people still cling to because it's how they were raised. And it doesn't have Vitamin D in it, it's enriched with Vitamin D. If you want Vitamin D, go out in the sun for an hour a day. That's all you need. You don't need milk to get it. You can drink it if you want, but it's not necessary and it's not the best choice for you. Go to a grocery store and get some kale or spinach or molasses and your body will use the calcium better than animal calcium. Milk might be better than soda pop or Koolaide, but it's still not as good as water and a spinach salad.

Bilge, will you feel better if prarie dog let's you borrow his beloved Star Jones bike seat...or is it Rosie O's... to sniff...to inhale.
All the turdudskin has to do is eat a bunch of blue bubble gum and green spearmint or lime snowballs. That will get give you crayola green diarrheary poop for your rainbow.
