How many hues does poop come in? And how significant is the "hue of the Poo"? Just curious.

One time I held my poo inside for one month! Im not joking! It was the month of December 1997.

Cool! I could have my very own poo bank.

Hey JBL how did you hold poop for a month without ruining a lot of underwear? I have a friend who said she was constipated and he kept crapping his pants.(I don't know if this was true at all, I have nasty friends)

i held my poo at high school 50 min later my boxers were brown

I am extremely shameful and I cannot poop anywhere other than home. So once I went on a week retreat to my grandpa's cottage, and as you may know, cottage food consists of that moldy loaf of bread from last summer, and whatever else you can conjure up. So my bunghole was full and I was unconfortable. Early in the morning, I snuck into the kitchen, grabbed a ziploc bag, and went behind the bushes and crapped in the bag. I wiped with papertowel, then zipped it up. I ran to the lake, and floated the baggie off. I don't know where it ended up! Imagine finding that!

Shit for mercy.

Yeah, I tried holding my shit after a big night out... Didn't turn out too well. When I finally decided to haul my ass away from the computer to back it out, I couldn't get to the bathroom because the house was being painted, so I decided to go in the cat's litter tray and blame it on her... Problem was that my crap was substantially larger in size than that of the cat, so it was quite obvious who the culprit of that turd was...

People, don't hold your poop in. You can cause some serious medical conditions.

oh my!!!!! i have trouble crapping alot but when i do dump a load i feel alot better and it feels as if i crapped out a heavy 5 pounds!!

Eat what ever you want. Nothing will accumulate in your small intestines if you drink alcohol and eat apple anything at the same time. My small intestines are as clean and shiny as a new Vette. OK....maybe a Vette that has seen some acid rain:}

Asphincter says WHAT...(!)

The Small Intestine is about 20 ft long in the average adult, the Large Intestine or Colon is between 6 to 8 feet in length and fatter. The Small Intestine (so called as it is thinner in bore) is where much of our digestion occurs. It joins the stomach as the Duodenum often a site of ulcers, the pancreas and liver are joined by ducts and secrete their digestive fluids into the Small Intestine, it them becomes the Jeujenum then the Ileum which joins the Large Intestine, (Colon or Bowel) via the Ileo-Caecal valve into the Caecum which is a pouch at the start of the Colon and to which the Appendix is connected. When the residue of the digested food leaves the ileum it is a watery and greenish fluid, in effect diarrhea. The Large Intestine recovers the water and salts etc from this watery soup and over time transforms the waste into the solid stools we all prefer to pass and which are the normal healthy products of defecation. If the feces pass through too quickly or for some reason water is not absorbed sufficiently the stools will be loose and mushy or even full blown diarrhea but if too much water is absorbed the motions are hard and lumpy as Constipation. The typical smell is caused by the production of Indole and Skatol and the brown colour by the conversion of the bile product Bileverdin to Bilerubin. As well as the waste residue of the food we eat our stools contain the mucus which the bowel secretes to assist the passage of the motions, dead cells from the internal organs, dead bacteria etc.

I don't go to the bathroom for weeks at a time. I'm not sure why. And then when I do go, i have to push really hard and it hurts. any one know why i don't poop for weeks at a time?

one time when i was little I ate this mexican candy that was really good but then i found out that we were going to the pool later to go swimming.Everything was fine until i had to go to the bathroom in the pool.So I went cause i had to go right.when we got home i had to go to the bathroom so i did and i had to go diaryea.i pooped everywhere on the floor and on my self.I said mom i need help and so she came and she said ewwww thats gross.my grandma said val why don't you clean it up.so then she got the gloves and cleaned it up.Thats my story of what happend to me!

This post, and the replies to it, sound like a press release from Senator Kennedy's office.

It it feels like i dropped 5 pounds (one time i did... i looked at a scale before and after) but the thing is.... i cant shit before this time.. idk.. i wanna know was wrong with me. Help?

Dumpster,

Leave it to you to talk politics about shit. Most other folks do the opposite.

Is there any difference between the two?

Broccoli!

TSV,

After thinking about it no.. absolutely none:

democratic poops are usually liberal

republican poops are usually conservative

independent party poops (sometimes the most fun) are whimsical wumpmugs

i used to go swimming at this beach with rocks down each end. EVERY time i went climbing on the rocks i needed to take a crap, and one day i just couldn't hold it...pulled my togs aside and did it right there in the water. and yeah, of course it had to be a floater. luckily there was no-one around...you wouldn't want that to come tapping at your shoulder.

my mum calls poo "jobbies" but i don't know where she got that from

What medical problems can be caused by holding your poo in for about 5 hours?

Damnit, i'm holding in a shit, must be a week or so by now, its uncomfortable but i dont want to shit it out. cos it might hurt :\

We went camping once at a place where the only place to shit were these nasty outhouses, so I wound up holding in my shit for 4 days. Once I got home and got on my own toilet, it was kind of like giving birth to a boa constrictor.

It's probably best to crap when the urge hits.

i was on a trip to see my grandparents when i stopped at burger king.i went to take a dump and there it laid.the biggest turd my eyes have ever seen.it looked like a footlong from subway.i took a picture but only to find that the camera was fool.

Ok well i was wondering if one was born without a butthole or a bitter ex girlfriend happened to sew her exes buttholes shut would you begin to vomit out poop? What would happen, All hypthetical of course.

I think the question was "how long can poop accumulate?" To get back on track: it has to do with two things: (1) How long can you safely hold poop in before letting it out? and (2) What is your "transit time?" Transit time is how long it takes for a particular item to go through your digestive system and come out the other end. Doctors actually measure this for some patients. You eat something that won't digest--small colored pellets or the like. Then you watch your bowel movements to see how long it takes for those things to reappear in your poop.

To answer the first question first: I am not a physician, but I do know that, if you get the urge and don't poop at that time, the urge will go away (usually); later urges may be weaker, and you may end up constipated. On the other hand, a subsequent urge may say "Oh, by the way, your bowels are moving NOW!" at a fairly inopportune time. Thus, it is best for you and your system to obey the urge when it first arrives or as soon thereafter as you can. I have noted that, if I am not somewhere I can get to a toilet or other good pooping place, the urge will go away; but when I do get to a toilet and sit, it will often return within a short time and let me do my business.

As for transit time: Mine ranges from, say, overnight to a couple of days. When I ate black beans a few days ago, it was about 18 hours afterward that I had a poop in which the black bean skins reappeared, and I had pooped at least once before that (after I ate the beans but before they showed in my poop). The bean skins then kept showing up for a couple more poops over the next day or so, so it does take a few movements to clear a given item from my system.

I think it depends on the shituation and how you look at it. Now if you watch the infommercial with that guy for the colon cleansing that looks like a porn star, he makes it sound like there is stuff accumulating for YEARS and that kind of makes sense. I think to HOLD it in is NOT a good thing because then you only ad to that residual accumulation. I think THAT is the thing that leads to problems down the road.

Poop can accumulate for a long time depending on the person. You can die from it though, harmful bacteria are present that must be excreted. It's important to eat DRI's of Fiber to stay healthy, help the operating system and of course so you can have enormous mud donkies. I suggest eating a lot of meat and rice (though rice and corn are not that good for your microvilli) then follow it later that day with a bill sagendorf*1 like proportion of spinach and you are sure to leave behind an iceberg*2 (1* creator of the longshoreman Popeye. 2* when the movement goes in the hole in the toilet and still manages to crest the water.)
