Sometimes when I am taking a poop, I reach what I call "poop out". Don't ask, just a weird thing. Anyway, this poop out is basically when I defecate until I can't go anymore. Sometimes I do this before a meeting or any other type of event that will not allow me to have instant access to a bathroom.
The couple times that I do this, once I reach "poop out", no more poop is coming out. Even with all my might, no solid poop will come out. Instead, a thick yellowish foamy liquid substance comes out of my anus. I am wondering if this is normal or healthy. Thank you.
Dear Kevin,
Thanks for the question.
"Thick yellow butt foam"--healthy or not?
Methinks NOT, friend. Brown is the color of good poo, and it should never be foamy. Your diet is probably in need of a good overhaul, and you shouldn't be "pooping with all your might". Relax, let it come, and pinch off when you feel mostly empty.
Don't try to get it all out, man. Save something for later.
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.

Got a question [2] for her?
