I just thought I’d stick [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=14198) in here for kicks. I’d never heard of menstrual cups until **Shirley Ujest** mentioned them above. As for me, coffee and a cigarette does it for me. I’m a morning pooper although the time varies. Sometimes I can do it at home before I leave the house at 7:00 and other times I’ll be forced to poop at work around 8:30 or 9:00. And _any_ kind of fruit juice makes me go too. I have to be careful with that stuff. And grape juice turns my poop green! ---

Talking on the telephone often makes me feel the urge. Apparently it’s something about the standing around that does it. I don’t smoke or drink coffee, and I rarely drink caffeinated drinks (less than one per week). For those with a score card, I usually poop twice a day. Yes, that’s right. Eating lots of sugar tends to make me constipated (and makes the poop sludgy eeewww). On the other hand, apple juice works wonders for making you go! ---

I can’t really think of any particular FOOD, but I’ve noticed that whenever I go down to the basement to find something, I always have to stop my search and go back upstairs to the washroom. Same with chem lab. Set everything up, and by then I just HAVE to go! Funny, cuz it only seems to happen in **anal** ytical chemistry :eek:.
