    Before getting covid I pooped once every 2 days usually. After covid I have 1-3 awful shits a day. My intestines are destroyed and I didn’t even have a serious case

      He doesn't joke, a lot of people only poop once a week. I have friends who work in healthcare and it's real. Eat your vegetables and drink lots of water, folks.

        That's wild. Doesn't it hurt?

          these people often have so many other underlying health issues that feeling like complete shit in general is just baseline existence

          I poop like twice a week and it's not painful or anything. Just typically more at once vs a lot of small ones. But I also don't have that fucked up of a diet, and I drink a lot of water. If you're only going once a week then you're probably not eating something right.

      They also have to come down from the trees to poop for some reason. This leaves then vulnerable to predators. Probably why they poop so sparsely.

    i remember when i only had to go once a week. those were the days of Gold-Tinged Excrement.

    now it's been 2-7 times a day for... quite a while. at least i finally got some actual meds for my ulcers, no thanks to the local healthcare.

    A cheap bidet was the best purchase I've made in years

    Some pro vegan truth: Pooping is less awful and takes less time when you don't eat animal products. Give it a try for a week.

      I can confirm this, I had a lot of ghost poops when I was vegan. Less smelly too.

      It's also a lot cleaner when using your butt for yours or someone else's pleasure.
