1 or 4. I have no complaints, although this thread makes me wonder if I should be complaining?
I’ve ranged all over the place but mostly 3 and 5. I’ve had occasional (and memorable!) Type 4, but more often than not they’ve occurred physically connected with types 2 or 3.
I should probably eat more fiber. Lord knows we’ve got all sorts of crispbread lying around the house…
Where do we find the “Key”? You can’t go putting up the map without the key. What does it all mean?
By appearance a type 3, but almost always very hard. Often clogs the toilet. I say I have larger gauge plumbing than the toilet.
And boo to the people who assume my diet is responsible. I eat lots of fruit and veggies and also dried apricots and prunes but none of it helps.
I guess it’s usually a 5 or 6. Is that bad?
I wonder if Dr. Bristol is/was very proud of his stool form legacy.
On edit, it’s the University of Bristol who’s proud.
This seems to be quite variable among people. Depending on how much I’ve eaten, I can go 5 or 6 days, or even a week between. Usually it’s 2 or 3 days.
It’s also nice to know that a 4 is good.
Sorry, I can’t resist:
Q. Why are your turds pointed at each end?
A. It is Mother Nature’s way of preventing your asshole from snapping shut.
(Sorry 'bout that)
A week?
I poop four times A DAY!
This is what a gastric by-pass can do to you.
1 or 2. Been this way for 2 years, regardless of diet. Used to be more like 3-4.
Everywhere from 1-6 (7 only being when sick, usually). I haven’t ever found a connection between my diet and poopies. I do spend more time towards the extremes than the middle, but it’s always satisfying when I have a nice big 4.
(TMI alert: My mom could always tell when I had used the bathroom and forgotten to flush when I was a kid because I apparently had the girthiest turds in the house.)
I don’t look either. Why would anyone want to?
Dude, why wouldn’t you want to see outcome of your toil? You’ve never thought, “That felt big,” or “That felt small” or “What the flying FUCK just came out of me?!” and wanted to check? I know that poop is sort of gross, but it’s your own! It’s like how everyone’s okay with the smell of their own farts.
Oh, and I’m a 3 or 4.
From 2-4. I find that Metamucil gives me number 1s, but I don’t find them particularly hard to pass.
No way, Jose. I just think, ew, that’s out of me, I don’t even want to THINK about it. I don’t examine my periods for particularly large blood clots either.
I don’t see a stool on that list with a lot of peanuts and blood. So I’m not sure.
I wonder how Bristol Palin feels about it.
3 to 5 - I try to keep 'em around 4 through proper diet, but between food allergies and intolerances that isn’t always possible.
I’ve heard it’s a specific type of person who doesn’t look after the deed. I don’t know what specific type that is, but I suppose I’m not one. I can’t imagine being anymore grossed out by your own waste than your own nudity. Private, yes, but it’s only you.
Then again, I’m a nurse, so I look at other people’s poop all day and don’t bat an eye.
“Girthiest”… I cackled in the internet cafe.
I’m a very regular 3, unless I’ve got pub shits, which are very dark (almost black) and 4ish. Or if I’m sick, of course. I’m renowned to be a quick excreter, I tried to nick name myself “Rocket Shits” but it never stuck.
I used to pretty much always be a 3 or 4.
Starting a year and a half ago it changed to always 5 and 6 and much more frequent. Turned out to be Crohn’s disease. Now on good medication and getting it under control I’m usually about a 4.5, but a 6 turns up once or twice a week.
My doctor told me that I got diagnosed relatively quickly. For many people it takes years, in part because they don’t tell their doctor until it’s been bad for a long time. For me, from the very first GI symptoms to being diagnosed took maybe 2-3 months. Lesson being, no what what “normal” is for you, if it suddenly changes and this persists you should let your doctor know.
