Vegan Poo

I know this has been discussed before, but I just have to say how amazing taking a vegan crap is. I swear I can sit, poop, wipe, and wash in under 60 seconds. and yes, my hands are clean!!!
Even when pregnant (and your are SUPPOSED to be constipated) I was still going 2-3 times per day with no problem.
After surgery where most people are blocked up for a week, I went on day 2!
One thing I miss is the quality readin' time in the jon. Now I don't even bother picking up a book or mag because I know there's no time!!! :D :D :D
both mine and dh's poop smells MUCH less....I can't remember the last time the house was wafting with shit smell from a messy poo. ok, I'll say it...my shit don't stink! :-D ::)
being vegan just has so many benefits. ::)
This. I don't want to share too much (who am I kidding, why else am I here?), but I've struggled with IBS and I sometimes have emergencies when I'm running. I run in a wooded area with trails, and occasionally I've had to use the forest as a restroom. But this is a busy running trail, and I am not the only one to use it. I thank the running gods that I'm vegan, because I can jump off the trail, squat, poo, wipe, and get back on my run in short enough time that I've never been caught. Lightning poo!
Do you wipe with leaves?
My poop always comes out really fast (even when I was l/o veg), but wiping takes a minute. I guess I usually have messy poops? I have to wipe at least 3 times. P always talks about his magical poops that don't even really require wiping. He wipes, and there's nothing there. He doesn't get to poop as often as I do, though. I always have to go as soon as I wake up, but he doesn't really have much of a schedule.

I usually remember to put a paper towel in my bra (NO TP! It shreds with the sweat and movement), but if I forget I will use a leaf. How much I have to wipe depends on how much of my IBS medication I'm taking. If I'm doing 4 pills a day, not much wiping necessary--just do it for the ritual. If I'm taking fewer pills, then I might need to wipe a couple of times.
this is the thread that just won't die.....like shelloid's poop.
1. this topic is SO FUNNY. I'm sitting at my computer laughing out loud like a lunatic.
2. nonvegan poo is gross, vegan poo is less gross (it's definitely a fact)
3. i think there is a connection between the 'magicalness' of vegan poo and childhood toilet training. you know when you were little and your parents wanted you to feel very proud that you pood in the toilet? now it's like, pride, because that magical poo represents wholesome vegan eating.
:D
LOL.
You are the best. Poop=vegan pride.
Strangely enough, it's so true.
I agree with the "messy poops" mine have required lots of wiping lately :/

yeah thanks for that.....oh except by quoting you I really am keeping my poop alive!
I always had poo problems when I was younger. I actually got worried when I started eating vegan, because I was going three or four times a day! Back in the day I went three or four times a month! It's fantastic. And like I've already read, it doesn't smell! I used to have to wait until I was alone in the house because the whole house would REEK! It's great now to be able to pop into the washroom at work and do my stuff even if there's people in other stalls (because now my poo just won't wait!) and not be horribly embarrased or need to bring in air freshener. Hee hee.
apparently, one element to the "messiness" is the amount of fat in your diet. high fat --> sticky poo. Both to you and the toilet bowl.
This video is awesome

i find mine started getting sticky right after i bought the tub of licorice... it's almost done though =/
We just got a new dog on Friday, and she came with a bag of her old food. But when she got here she started right in on Oliver's vegan food, so we shrugged our shoulders and said fine, we won't transition. So, we've watched her poop change throughout the days that she's been here, and each poo is getting bigger and bigger and firmer. Yeah, vegan dog poop! It really makes me feel like she's getting healthy. I'm pretty sure a healthy diet will help her scars heal, too.
so I was out shopping in town this morning and suddenly was desperate for a poo.....and had to go in a public toilet. for some reason this thread came to my mind and then l2a's profile about how she hates pooping in public toilets.
So l2a I was thinking about you as I did my poo today!
Oh and the flush was awful and I had to leave most of my po floating in the toilet - after like 4 flushes it was still there. Which then made me think about l2a saying my poop would never die!

Yeah I definitely have to scope out a good pooping spot and have my favorite ones. You know, the restrooms that 1) have toilet seat covers 2) no lingering odor, which means theres maintenance people not just a dude who cleans the toilets 3) nice, two-ply toilet paper. I'm glad I work in a four star hotel that has to have nice pooping toilets.
And that officially made me sound weird.
Oh...you're worried about being the weird one in a double digit thread about people talking about their poo? I think you're covered there! ;D
haha i love this! it reminds me of my work. I work in a health and weightloss center and the girls i work with and i are ALWAYS talking about poo! and we have to constantly ask clients about thieir poo habits..and let me tell you..96% of them are meat eaters..and about 85% of THOSE regularliy have huge poo problems. i have to gently inform them that meat has NO fibre and sits fermenting and rotting in their colon for DAYS....EW!
needless to say...i LOVE having my good, quick reliable poops 3+ daily! ;)
Shell, I just now saw this!!! I am sOOOOO glad that you poo made you think of little old moi!!!!!
<3
Ha! You're now my poo buddy!
Dude, I think I need more fiber or something.. I've seriously been pooping rabbit pellets lately. :o
I'm the opposite. I'm back on my fruit and leafy green salads with beans kick and my poops are award winning.
I found this description of healthy stool:
An ideal bowel movement is medium brown, the color of plain cardboard. It leaves the body easily with no straining or discomfort. It should have the consistency of toothpaste, and be approximately 4 to 8 inches long. Stool should enter the water smoothly and slowly fall once it reaches the water. There should be little gas or odor.
I will say right now that I never expect to empirically know the consistency of my poop.
