Do you poop at work?

I cannot recall a time I have ever felt the need to use a public bathroom for a number 2. If you eat a healthy diet and are capable of organizing yourself then you have no need to be taking a crap at work or in public bathrooms.

Yes, of course, your experience must be universal, because all humans surely must have the same intestines as you do.


Signed, a vegetarian whose bowel movements come at random times during the day.

It was not considered very clean or hygienic if one dressed up for the day, and then had to poop. I would take another shower then, if I had to do that.

I have trained my kids the same. But at work I saw these women, rushing to poop after lunch and I was very put off. It is one thing if you have a stomach bug etc, but to do this everyday ...

However, I saw the same at DC's school. Lot's of kids came to school but needed to use the bathroom as soon as they were in school to poop.

So I am wondering - is this sequence of bodily functions and morning ablutions not given the same importance here?

Off-topic, but wouldn't you brush your teeth after you eat breakfast?

agree

And it's kind of gross to brush your teeth AFTER you take a shit. So if you're not going to brush after breakfast, then brush first thing - BEFORE the shit.

How about poop, shower and then brush your teeth? I can live with that.

yes, that's a good compromise

This should be in the health forum.

Yes, sometimes you have to go, but get into the healthy habit of regularly pooping in the morning at home. Preferably before you shower.

How do you get in the habit of pooping at a certain time? I am 43 years old and have yet to figure that out!

I don't know how to answer this. We got in the habit as kids. I trained my kids from when they were potty-trained. I would give them a sippy-cup of milk in bed, and after they had had their milk, I would make them sit on the potty until they pooped.

Maybe start with some stool softener at night and eat lots of fibrous food and drink plenty of water? In the morning, drink your coffee and sit on the toilet to see if you would poop? Bowels can be trained to eliminate at a regular time. Try this during vacations or long weekends and see if you have any success?

. Are you kidding??? You think taking drugs to avoid pooping at different times is a good idea?!? His about eating more vegetables? That would make you poop. Listen to your body and treat it well!

If you have a healthy digestive system, you should be pooping twice a day. If a 43 year old is not certain when she will poop - I am assuming her stool is hard. Stool softeners will help her eliminate without straining. Fibrous food includes vegetable and fruits and whole grains. Drinking lots of water will also help to flush it out. My advice to try it during vacations etc. is so that she is not sitting for hours on a toilet on a working day.

Again, pooping first thing in the morning is a healthy habit.

Not pooping or pooping at work is a personal preference.

I am the 43 year old that asked the questions. No, my stool is not hard and I do not strain. However, I do not poop say at 7:30 a.m each day. So sties it may be 10 am or something. I just do not understand how it can be planned out and timed. When I need to go, I go. I definitely prefer not to at work, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Try Squatty Potty. You may be very pleasantly surprised.

Most people go when they have to go. However, most people would rather avoid using a public restroom if they can help it. So, use this and see if it helps. Use a higher stool rather than the lower one.

I go when I need to and do nothing to influence it. It just happens that I need to go about an hour after I get up and start moving around in the morning.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but only in the bathroom.

I just learned that there's a correct anorectal angle AND a puborectalis muscle! Though the link should have had the fair warning that it was to an image search and not a word search.
