I was pooping today during my lunch hour. When I finished pooping, I looked at what I had done and thought to myself, “I wonder what other people’s poop looks like?” We rarely get an opportunity to see the BM’s of other people, and any website that might have pictures of poop is probably pornographic and quite disgusting. We know most people see colors the same way, and we’ve devised charts to prove it. I wonder if someone could publish a poop chart, with pictures of different kinds of poop, and the reasons your poop might be skinny, or light in color, or liquid. Like a DSM IV for bowel movements. I know that I have many, many different kinds of poop. Finding out why that happens from an easy-to-read chart would be fantastic! They would probably have to take the pictures of poop on a dry surface, because the glare of the water in the toilet makes photography difficult. I would like to get such a chart, laminate it, and display it prominently on my living room wall. Everyone deserves to know if they are a healthy pooper.

Its supposed to be in the shape of an S. One long um line not little bits.
To recap : S shape is good
Plop plops are not.

I know they don’t have pictures, but the descriptions are good enough at this site that you could probably start associating your own photos with them.

Gross. Although I can tell you that a doctor once told me your poop should be the consistency of peanut butter, which to me just seems gross.

LMAO!!! You’re killing me here! I think there needs to be a side-bar to your chart on how some foods (corn, peanuts, etc. ) make the trip virtually unscathed while other foods don’t

Speaking of the Big Book of Crazy (DSM IV), I wonder if you have your own chapter.

Don’t you know the rules? You AREN’T supposed to poop at work. Unless, of course, you are my husband, and then you are ONLY allowed to poop at work (or at the Casey’s gas station down the street.)

I heard if it comes out like toothpaste then it’s bad…

We have just the tool for you, MM:

While it won’t tell you if you’re poop is healthy, it will assist in monitoring you’re evacuations.

I forgot to mention, we actually own a copy of this gem. The boys would be more than happy to let you take a peek.

I heard if it comes in the consistency of water, you’ve had too much Old Style or Bush Light playing volleyball. That’s only what I’ve heard though. May be hearsay. I’m no doctor.
