why is my poop so big?
Stonecold asks:
Why do I poop so big? It is long, hard, and fat. I have to cut it up everytime I poop.
Dear StoneCold,
Thanks for the question! I now have a visual stuck in my head that you would not believe!
It's the old story, Stone. Fiber. Fiber. Fiber. You need at least 5 servings a day of fruits and vegetables. And with all that fiber, you must drink at least eight 8oz glasses of water or juice per day. If you don't drink a lot of fluids, you may get bunged up even more. And beer doesn't count as "fluids".
This should soften you right up and get you some soft sliders.
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.

Scissors? Kitchen knife? Chainsaw?
Oh, and are you the person responsible for leaving the huge grunts unflushed in Kayla's dorm suite? (see: "What Causes Giant Logs?" thread) If so, we need to know 2 things: (1) Are you male, female, or transgender; and (2) Why are you not flushing the toilet?
Peace in the Poopchute.
Assphelgm, one of our members, has a great story in the PR.com archive entitled 'An Unbalanced Breakfast'-- a stirring saga in which he described how he produced a bright blue turd.
In the thread discussion that accompanies the article, he mentioned that he always produced huge turds and his mom showed him how to chop them up with a coat hanger so they would flush.
Someone else (I dont remember his name ): ) wrote us a story. He went to his girlfriend's house to meet her parents. In the bathroom , he saw a slender stick by the toilet. The stick was painted blue.
In all innocence, he asked what it was for. His girlfriend became tense and defensive, as did her mother.
But the father of the family was glad to explain. The blue stick was a turd chopper. The girl's brother happened to produce huge turds, had always done, so and they plugged the toilet.
So Dad created a turd chopper and kept it by the toilet. The thing was coated with water proof paint, and blue was the only color Dad had available.
So--lots of people produce giant turds.
I envy them.
As a giant turd producer I thank you, pooperscooper. And as for having your poop get small and soft, try focussing on the "clear foods" as mentioned on the Simpsons. If it turns paper clear when it's rubbed on it, it's a clear food. They'll give you the runs and you'll never have to worry about hard shit again...
Of course you'll probably be dead from a stroke or a heart attack, so it wouldn't matter anyway.
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I have had trouble with larget turds for some time also...my record was 14 inches long and what looked to be about 5 or more inches around....I couldn't actually measure the girth without getting shit on my fingers. But what i did to make them smaller and softer was eat Puerco Pabil...that did the trick.
You should have sent that nasty bowl snake into ratemypoo.com.
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I too produce some pretty gurthy loaves.
Fiber will act as a bulking agent, water must be consumed while eating lots of fiber.
The ultimate questions are. A. How long have you been producing monster logs? B. Do they come out easy? If you answered most of your life, and fairly easy to those two questions, I wouldn't worry much. I know the unjamming toilets part of mega pooping is a real pain in the ass (did I just say that?)
Just keep your turdchopper at hand. I too require a turdchopper to help things to their final destination.
The fact is some people are just born toilet cloggers. As long as this is not new, don't loose sleep over it.

I am a 21 year old male. Recently, I have been doing desk work instead of my normal physical labor. I used to shit about 5 times a week but now I shit only 1 or 2 times a week. My turds are literally longer then my arm and big around as a soda can. What causes this? Thanks.

My poop is very huge. It also hurts my buttcheeks when I go. It stings and when i wipe it takes up most my toilet paper. Even if I eat a couple peanuts, they show every time. I truly need help, so please do!! Thanks
I just took a poop (Well, technically TWO poops...) about 10 minutes ago.
Both came out at the same time and were about 5 inches long and an inch in diameter for both.
One slid down the toilet with ease, but the other one, which was rather clunky with fecal matter bits, plugged up the can.
I unfortunately had to get out a cotton swab to break it up.
i have hard,stuck poop in my butt right now.everytime i try to push,it hurts toooooo much,and i suck them back into my butt and give up.i want them to get softer while they are already in my butt.What can i do to make them EXTRA soft?
Fiber, fiber, fiber. Water, water, water.
Start eating apples, bananas, and salads. Drink lots of water. And if that's not to your liking, drinking very yeasty beer will help!

I just found this website accident, but found it very interesting and thought I should share my experiences. Since I was young; 42 now, I have moved my bowels on an average of 3 times a day. Many times the BM would be really long, sometimes 12 inches. I am not one to sit on the toilet and read a magazine either; usually done in 1 min or less. I also never really had constipation or diarrhea. My problem is that when I have to go, there is no waiting; have to fine a bathroom soon. I swear everything I eat goes right out the other end in no time. My diet includes everthing, but not many sweets. I have never been on a diet and pretty much eat what ever I want. My weight is 136 and height about 5'4. I no I am busy person, but I don't exercise. My god if I did that, I'd probably have to live in the bathroom. Is there anyone else that has the same issue? I have heard of people that don't go for 1-2 weeks. Where do they hold it all?
WARNING WARNING Will, Dr. Smith is dropping his pants!
A guy is sat up in bed, in hospital. A nurse can see him from her desk out of the corner of her eye.
Our bed ridden friend, slowly, starts to fall to the left.
The nurse, predicting a fall, jumps up from her desk, and expediently stuffs a pillow under his left side.
The nurse returns to her desk.
Just as she sits, (say 'she sits' three times quickly) our captive hero, falls slowly to the right.
The nurse, again, concerned, jumps up and promptly stuffs another pillow under our hero's right side.
Again, the nurse returns to her post.
She parks her behind, somewhat frustrated, only to witness or martyr now slowly falling forward.
Yet again, the now fatigued nurse, jumps up, and frantically stuffs a pillow under his chin.
Our hero, is now essentially immobile.
An hour or so passes, visiting time arrives, as does Mrs. hero.
"So darling, how is the food, do you need me to get you anything, how are they treating you?"
(A very caring woman)
"well," explains hero, "the food is great, I don't really need anything, but It worries me that the nurse won't let me fart"

Postman, that might not be good advice, especially if you still have a walking mail route.
i did a 6 in. poop yesterday and it didn't flush and now i did another 6 in. poop a little while ago today. i had to push really hard. so now, i have two massive turds that came out over a period of two days that are clogged in my toilet now. how can you unclog it?
Try to find an enzymatic clog remover at your local superstore. Or, if you have a good hardware store, they might be able to help you with what's best for your pipes.

And from now on, keep a poo chopper by your toilet so this won't happen again. Our family is known for big shits and we have to keep a stick by the toilet bowl to cut up Gigantor before flushing it down.

I suffer from the giant turd affliction, my craps are up to 2 inches in diameter. But I try to go every couple of days so there's less of a compaction factor and things come out easier. It used to be a huge problem for me, and it was really embarrassing to ask my mom to help me unclog the toilet every time I crapped when I was a kid.
I have massive stinky toilet filling poops. I routinely stain the bowl and have to flush 3-5 times after each poop. My co-workers are disgusted by the stench and will take an hour plus for the heat and filthy smell to clear out. Even Lysol won't help. What shoudl I do?
Adam, I think you should get in touch with Feto D. Walcott and see if he's looking for a roommate.

I poop real big. And when I was little, even still now I've sometimes held it, but for a while there I would go everyday or so and it'd be small, soft and flushable. But now it's back to being huge and now I am afraid to go, I feel so embarrasses to ask for my Mom to check the toilet before I flush. My mom doesn't have a poop crusher and she doesn't realize that I can't help it, and now I've read the replie to someof these things but will fiber and fruits help me with my situation? Cause I really cannot go on livinglike this anymore. I like to poop, LOL, I don't want anything to prevent me from doing that like a normal human being
I too make big turds. what you have to do is find a toothbrush you don't use anymore and stab the turd with the handle into 1-2 inch peices to get it down the hole. If the water starts to rise StOp FlUsHiING!! or else your fecal matter will end up on the floor. Just wait until your toilet calms down. you might have to stick your toothbrush pretty far up the hole before easing your poop through. good luck and maybe you should wear some of those big yellow rubber gloves.
my poops are giant they are always bad to do and i plug the toliet alot i do not know why but i just do everytime almost and i do not know why still i eat alot does that have to do with it?? can you help my poop qeustion my poop ios depending on you thank you
Hello AC, of course what you eat can affect how you poop; today's feast yields tomorrow's feces. My guess is you may need more water and more fiber, especially nuts or bran cereal. Also exercise enough; not necessarily on treadmills or equipment, but lots of walking, yard work, etc. Those factors should lead you to softer, easier poops. You may poop more, especially more often, but the results should be easier to flush. Try it!
Hi...Everytime i try pushing out my poop, it hurts...so as soon as it comes out, my butt hurts and sometimes i bleed. Why does this happen? is this some form of constipation? And also my body function in a way people wouldn't understand. i can't just go to the bathroom and poop, i have to concentrate...why am i like that?
American standard makes toilets that can handle turfs up to 5 pounds in weight. I'd challange any one involved in this thread to back up a champion 4 or a cadet 3. I put a cadet 3 in my house and have been trying for weeks to back it up. No luck yet. Will advise.
The Anonymous Coward who posted immediately above deserves some credit for the stupidest comment I think I have ever read. What does it mean? What is the meaning of the word ayye, is it English or some other language? Come back after you graduate from primary school AC, that is if you ever do...sheeesh....

Samantha--if your butt hurts and you bleed when you poop, see your doctor if this has been going on a while. Pooping is supposed to be reasonably easy (you should have to push a bit, but not to make you hurt or bleed).
AC 5/5/9: I admire you for having a toilet that can handle turfs (though I think the plural of turf is turves); mine does well to handle turds. Does your potty prefer Astro-turfs?
You people are very strange. I laughed out loud at some of your issues. I'm laughing at you.
What you need is medical Help. Sorry, but I can't give you people it. You should also try talking to a therapist.

YES.
Currently, I'm waiting for a case of wine from California that my mother ordered for me for Mother's Day. At first it was only eight bottles, but the winery felt bad about the fact that it never showed up. This is the second time in a year that our postal system 'damaged' the wine.
Maybe our post office has a resident wino like myself and knows our address!
Chief, I will bring the cheese, and you can cut it. I hear it's your specialty.
