So, here's the deal: As the official org Poopmaster, I will answer ANY reasonable question about poop that you ask. If I cannot find the answer, I will most likely come up with some witty response. So, go ahead: Ask Dook anything about poop!

Is fermented poop the true cause behind alot of cancers in other parts of the body?
I've heard that once the colon, instestines, or other parts of the digestive/elimination organs become constipated, they reek havoc on other parts of the body, like lungs, lymph nodes and such.

Can you poop while standing on your head?

I found out that overly smelly poop can be one symptom of a number of different health issues. Here are just some of them:

- cystic fibrosis
- gluten-induced enteropathy (sprue, celiac disease)
- idiopathic steatorrhea (fatty stools with no known cause)
- disaccharidase deficiency (insufficient amounts of the sugar-digesting enzymes lactase, sucrase, or isomaltase)
- short bowel syndrome
- biliary atresia
- Crohns disease
- ulcerative colitis
- infections of the colon (certain types)
- HUS (hemolytic-uremic syndrome)

Nope. I sure can't.

I realize that I didn't answer your question exactly how you wanted and I apologize. I couldn't find any info on smelly poop actually wreaking havoc on other parts of the body (however, I do not know all of the effects of the medical conditions that I actually listed - lungs, lymph nodes, etc may very well be effected).

The point is, if your poops smells especially bad and has recently took a turn for the worst (in terms of smell), it's probably a good idea to get it checked out with a professional (which I am not - at least not with diseases. I am a professional Poopmaster, however.)

OK.

Is it true that in ancient China, there where enuchs who had the specific task of sniffing the poop of royalty to determine what they needed added to their diet?

AsianBomb777 said:

I was unable to find any articles on this specific topic - where have you heard about this?

I was, however, able to find out that sometimes the eunuchs were called "stinking eunuchs" because young ones would "wet the bed and themselves".

I heard about it when I worked part time at a chinese resturaunt back in the day.
I also saw what looked like Enuchs sniffing poop in one of the openning scenes to "The Last Emperor"

Why cant the digestive system manage to break down corn and peanuts?

Why is this place so full of it?



(and threads about it)

This is because they contain high starch carboyhdrates containing cellulose, which the body has a tough time digesting.

Because poop is fun.

Thank You,
Does cheese really lead to constipation? I could eat a whole block and still shit within hours.

Can you tell what somebody had for dinner the night before, by the smell of their poop?

DarkKnight1 said:

Cheese CAN be a factor in constipation. I read that cheese is only about 20-30% digested in the human body.

By the smell? Most likely not.

Actually, the intestines coat themselves with mucus to protect against milk. Mammals are not designed to drink milk in adulthood. The good news is taht the mucus is supposed to be discarded within a couple of days. The bad news is that we eat so many times a day in modern society that the mucus keeps forming and never goes away.

As a result, we become not only constipated, but the mucus enters our bloodstream, or lungs, and cuases decongestive problems.

Cut down on your milk consumption and see if your winter "cold" is much less severe or doesn't even occur.

AsianBomb777 said:

Thanks for the advice....Well, Im off to eat a jar of cheese whiz.

Is it okay to play games with laxatives?

lil1 said:

I don't know.

But it's never a good idea to take them with sleeping pills.

(Sorry Dook--I'll let you run this thread)

AsianBomb777 said:

I was thinking more along the lines of taking quite a few laxatives and using a trampoline for an hour

Medicines in general are not for playing games with. If you DID do the above activity, be prepared for some very loose bowels and some stomach irritation.

Why aren't hardcore porn videos involving excrement allowed in all states, but porn involving unatural objects being inserted into vagainas and anuses often are?

Republicans.

ReturnOfDOOK said:

Did'nt U vote for Bush. Doesn't that mean you take some responsibility for the non proliferation of poop?

Is it possible to get a thread locked by insulting a mod using the word Poop?

Not if it's Anxiety, and definately NOT if he knows you're on to him.
He doesn't do requests, unless he's high on GHB.

I did vote for W. And, it was only on one issue: If people started to make poop-porn here in the states, my underground shizer film business would go under. Since W took a hard stand against the US producing shizer films, I felt it was important to vote for him. That is the ONLY issue I cared about.

Isn't the german stuff more pungeant smelly than american poop?
I hear they have double the legal limit of methane as we do in our excrement.

Which isn't true for australia. Come to think of it, do Australians poop?
If so, is it as often?
