how long for food to be poop?

Posted 01.21.2004 by Poonurse (1313)
Vatfryer asks:

I was wondering if it was true that when a person dies, he or she evacuates immediately afterwards. Is this true, or is it an urban legend?


Dear Vatfryer,

This is absolutely true. Except that it doesn't ALWAYS happen. I used to work in a nursing home and had to wrap probably 2-3 dead people a week. At least one would have crapped.

Hope this helps!

Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.

Hi! I'm doing a speech for school on the scoop on poop. I need to know some humorous animal poop facts quick!
Thanks a bunch! LuLu

The Shit Volcano (3818) -- 10.25.2005

Well, since your speech is over, I hope you found some information quick, LuLu.

Yes, people do crap when they die and so do animals. I had a hampster die of a head injury in my hand and she shit everywhere.

Is it true that morticains shove a big colon tube in a dead body to flush everything out? I have heard they do this but it is a dark secret to embalming and they will not tell a common person they actually do this.

why is it that some poop comes out in many peices, and some is one whole thing? is it bad for it to be in peices? i think i read that somewhere.

As a gay male I engage in anal sex where I am the bttm.

I find that after anal sex... and for awhile after my Pooh has a lot of Mucous around it. Usually its a little bit at the start of my pooh being all covered in white... or sometimes all of it is covered in mucous. is this a bad thing?!

Motherload (1071) -- 10.11.2006

T. Anthony, I am going to assume that a condom is being used, which would eliminate the possibility that it is semen that you are seeing around your poo. If that is the case, good job.

Any time there is irritation to a mucosal membrane---whether it be in the rectum, or the nose, or the intestines---this causes excess mucus to be secreted in an attempt to soothe the affected area and wash away any harmful substances such as dust, bacteria or whatever is causing the irritation.

The presence of mucus itself is not a bad thing, since it means that your body is reacting normally. But a better lubricant may be needed to cut down on the irritation which is the underlying cause of the increase in secretions. That is not such a good thing.

Not everyone poops when they die.

As for the "poop coming out in pieces" question. Everyone's body works different. As long as there is no major change in regular bowel habits, I would not worry.

Poops to much (not verified) -- 03.02.2007

I was wondering, is normal to poo after every meal. IS there ever a problem with pooping too much?

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 03.24.2007

OK, I have been wondering about this forever but I never found anybody to ask. If you eat a food, and it comes out whole in your poop(ie, corn or sunflower seeds), do you still get the calories from it?

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 06.30.2008

my poop looks like skinny short snakes is this a bad thing?

MSG (1228) -- 07.01.2008

So many questions, so few answers. Poop like skinny short snakes is not quite normal, but doesn't sound dangerous unless there is also pain, blood, or some other unusual factor. Diet may contribute; eat (perhaps) more fiber and drink more water, and avoid junk foods for a while. As for food coming out whole, it depends on what it is (see poll on "what foods reappear in your poop"), and how soon after you eat you see it again (called "transit time"). If you see it again the next day, chances are it's been digested except for the skin or the husk or something else that's not digestible. If you see it again in a matter of minutes, you have Montezuma's Revenge and need to see a doctor.

what does it mean when your poop comes out in little pieces instead of whole?

soup poop (not verified) -- 08.14.2008

..well.. once i was having tomato soup and in the middle of eating the soup, i had to poop. So i went poop only to find that it was red and it was the soup that i was still in the midst of eating! is that normal.. or anything i should be worried aboutt?

Artful Dodger (394) -- 08.14.2008

Sorry, soup, but unless your input has a direct connection to your output, there's no way it could come out that fast. You probably ought to look for an alternative answer.

Ok, so for the past 3 days I have had really bad cramps and green, watery poop. It is like i'm peeing out of my butt. It's really gross, and the past two nights it has woken me up in dead sleep. On the 3rd day, my poop was really skinny and long. What should i do?

how soon after a colonoscopy can you resume anal intercourse?

Russell (335) -- 05.19.2009

Before I read this, I heard that a dead person always craps two to three hours after he/she has died.

I have a question. Is it bad to shit only about once a week?

You should shit at the least about 2 or 3 times a week. I shit once a day, so I can't imagine only going once a week.
