If someone goes number 2 more than 5 times a day, does that mean they have some viceral problem?

Question

My friend has to use the toilet to poo like 7 times a day! They're not quickies either. He usually stays on it for more than 15 min. -_____- Also, the whole floor smells terrible afterwards. He says he's used to it and it's a part of life for him now but I'm worried! I think he spends close to 1/3 of his life on the toilet. =[ That's got to be inconvienient. When i mention that he should go see a doctor about it, he just laughs it off. If there isnt anything unhealthy about this, is there anything that can be done to make him go less times? Or at least not smell so bad??

Answer 1

It`s called "stetorrhea" a type of malabsorption. Should avoid fats totally.

Answer 2

He's obviously got something. You're only supposed to go about 1-2 times a day, certainly not any more. He should check and review his diet, eat lots of wholegrains, bran, fruit and less fatty and sugary foods (these all affect your bowel movements). He also most definitely needs to see a doctor, as it may be something more serious then simply a poor diet.

Answer 3

That is not normal no. It's probably just because he is eating crap(no pun intended) all day, but he should go to the doctor just in case. Even if there is nothing wrong, the doctor can suggest a specific diet that will prevent this from happening. Good luck!! :P :)

Answer 4

It could be IBS but I'm not a Dr. he shouldn't laugh it off tell him in no uncertain terms if he wants to keep his azzhole he needs to see a Dr cause it could be worse then IBS some sort of colon thing where people wind up wearing a colostomy bag. hopefully he'll think twice after that.
