My family has been doing that for years, but not on a daily basis. We only do it when we are going to eat something really spicy. It works great. The oil coats your stomach and you don't poop out magma the next day.

In the interest of poopology, and PR, (and since it would seem that my creative thinking part of my brain has taken a leave of absence) I will offer up my 45 year old Bowflex body to this endeavor. How long a time frame are you looking at, Dave?

This is a very informal experiment. Eat your oil, tell us what happens. Not just Bilge -- everyone can play along.

So that's you that Chuck Norris is slave-driving on the Bowflex infomercial, Bilge?

Pulling My Pants Down For Peace, Plop and Posterity!

My friend taught me this oil trick. I thought it was only supposed to be used when you had constipation. Poop comes out nice and smooth. I eat a lot of spicy foods, especially hot potato chips and it always burns my ass if I eat too many. I'll try it before my next bag.

Sounds like a plan for the next time I eat something that doesn't agree with me. :-D

Well, i would like to thank the academy of masscrappers for this seasons nomination. I have been injesting small quantities of light virgin olive oil for several years now, and at the young age of 41, i must say that my joy of shitting regimin has maintained a level of consistency unmatched in time as i know it. kudos to those of you who will join me in the new era of stick free shitting!_______

No, I got left on the cutting room floor...The 50 year old bowflex woman looked better than my almost invisible flabby ass.

For those of us without gallbladders, a spoonful of oil leads to a record liqishit in less than ten minutes. I guess the "amazing fat flush" isn't entirely gone, but at least it only happens with oil now.

Behold! My new farting super power! BRAPP!!!

Well, beginning with dinner last night, about 6:00 PST....nothing then, nothing special this morning, two wiper as usual, volume, time, consistency all no change.

Is this only with olive oil? I have a bottle of roasted hazelnut oil. I could try it with that for a day or two.

I have been reading the stories on this site for a few years now, and I finally have a contribution. I had my gallbladder out. But before I did, I tried to keep it, in an attempt to avoid surgery, and for the lack of belief that my gallbladder was really the problem. I tried this oil thing, as it was supposed to be a "natural remedy" to gallbladder problems. The only difference is, I was told to drink not a spoonful, but to FAST and drink a whole entire CUP. Now that doesn’t sound too bad if it were a cup of milk, cup of coffee, cup of ANYTHING but oil. However, I wasn’t drinking either coffee or milk at that point; they both woke up the Gallbladder Monster. But I did choke down the oil, right before bed as directed. I was then told to sleep on my right side to “float” the gallstones out of my “diseased” gallbladder. It was halfway thru the night, and I woke up burping oil. Yes fellow poopers, if you are looking for a joke to play on someone, dare them to do this! But don’t expect them to ever forgive you for this evilness. So, I made it to about 5AM, and was absolutely nauseated. I was told to drink coke, or lemon juice to make this feeling subside. Simultaneously to puking, I felt the urge to “drop a**”. So, I sat on my throne, grabbed the barf bucket (ie; trash can) and exploded an oily mess out both ends. Yes, the oil works. It works just fine. There was no stickiness, no burning, nothing but pure lubed up poo, and an oily gut wrenching splatter of yak. As for the results of the oil, I was able to go 4 wonderful months without any gallbladder problems. I actually forgot all about my diagnosis, until I felt the urge to make my family a feast of corned beef. It was that meal that did me in, with the most painful gas and gallbladder attacks ever. I gave in, and called to schedule the surgery. But that is a whole other story. Hope you get a good laugh at my expense!! To this day, I can not look at oil in the same way. The stench of Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil haunts my nasal passages. My stomach aches and my sphincter cringes at the memory of this torture.

I've been using olive oil to make homemade salad dressing for years now.

I would say to toss my salad with, but thanks to Dave Chapelle, that's no longer possible.

Anyhoo, decent vegetable oil, like olive or flaxseed, always has helped me in the poop department. That and bourbon.

The above poster (not Daphne) makes me glad that I didn't have stones. The moral of this story: I'm sorry, there is "natural" remedy for fixing a gallbladder once it's broken. Get the surgery and you'll be a whole lot happier.

The spoonful of oil thing didn't have the same affect today as it had yesterday. However, time will only tell. Will I have a million wiper or a smooth flowing bowel?

Since I've been admitted to the hemmorhoid club I'll gladly do anything to make the poops come out smoothly and wipe easily. I'll be sure to have a nice big salad for lunch today with lots of EVOO to grease up the chute!

Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

Hmmm...haven't noticed anything yet, except I'm getting damn tired of olive oil at every meal.

(oatmeal and 2 teaspoons of oil this morning...yuck)

Yes, I had the surgery last November. I am much better now. I do still have some "ghost" pains though, but those are subsiding. I highly recommend anyone comtemplating it to go ahead and get it over with!! - Non Polar Pooper

Nope, spoonful of oil had a delayed reaction today. I just squirted out a buttload of greenbeans from last night that are now brownbeans. Well, at least there was no strain on my asshole.

P.S. NPP, I'm glad I'm not the only one with "ghost pains". Glad to hear they eventually go away.

Of course, you can ingest your oil in a much more enjoyable fashion, e.g. a three-piece dinner from Popeye's!

Shit Volcano - how long has your gallbladder been out?

Olive oil raises hell with my bowels. I get the messiest, stickiest poos that I have ever had on olive oil (I'm sure beer playes a role too".

I have to use TLC with the Extra V.
