Is it true that we have so much feces stashed in our bowels and colon? How would you know for sure?

Question

Does any one have a solid evidence on this claim?

Answer 1

There is obviously material in various stages of digestion traveling through the system; it gets eliminated from time to time. There is seldom any reason to try to facilitate or interfere with this process; nature does quite a good job all by itself. The notion of "colon cleansing" is pure hokum and totally useless.

Answer 2

You do usually have some feces in your colon (as would be expected), but it doesn't build up or get "stashed" there for long periods of time. Older stuff is pushed out by newer stuff (in addition to peristalsis).

And even if you did have feces in your colon that didn't leave, it wouldn't hurt you and removing it would not improve your health (unless you have an obstruction, in which case you're going to need a doctor and your issues are serious enough that you would KNOW IT). Bacteria in your colon are natural and healthy, and not having them would hurt you.

Answer 3

Just ask a doctor who has performed intestinal surgeries, or doctors who've dealt with appendix removals and appendix bursts. I'm sure they have a better idea than anyone on here. I wouldn't doubt it though. I once saw a video of a vet doing a surgery on a horse's intestines. Couldn't watch after the first incision when all the stuff started gushing out. (gag. I don't even want to think about that)

Answer 4

Probably have food sorting itself out in there all over the place. So what. Been doing that since we first walked the earth.

A friend of mine went for these high colonics for a year. Did it help - can't tell, but she was certainly preoccupied with it and spent a fortune. Not to mention trying to convince her friends to do so as well.

I let nature take care of it.

Answer 5

Have you looked it up anywhere??? Of course it is true, for most people, that is why parasites are in there too. That is also why bowel cleanses are good. Did you know Elvis died on the toliet from an obstructed colon?

Answer 6

you never said how much you think we have you just said so much.. so im not sure of what you mean..... ive had an xray done of my stomach when i had a stomach ulser because they couldnt work out what was wrong with me they thought it might have been constipation so they took an xray and the doctor showed me where the feces was and there was quite alot of it about half of my abdomen was poo lol and i had a normal to low ammount of feces in my stomach. ( i wasnt constipated after all) i hope i helped your unusual quiery....

Answer 7

Simply put, YES! Most people have such poor diet that all sorts of stuff lurks around in there going nowhere and causing all sorts of problems.

I just answered a similar question (here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvIFY5sI.7O7EWxOJstj4Gnzy6IX?qid=20070116001002AAgm92M) concerning bowel cleansing, hopefully that will help.

Answer 8

I am an embalmer, and part of the procedure I do is to -- shall we say "clean people out" and yes, you do have a lot of poo still in you.

Answer 9

how MANY TIMES YOU EAT IN A DAY?
HOW MANY TIMES YOU POOP IN A DAY?

DO THE MATH

BY THE FEEL OF YOUR ABDOMEN
WITH A ROCKING MOTION OF YOUR PALM MASSAGE YOUR ABDOMEN BEGINNING IN THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE GO UP THEN ACROSS RIGHT UNDER THE RIB CAGE THEN DOWN, DO THIS 5 TIMES IF YOU WANT TO POOP AFTER WARDS YOU JUST HAD A BOWEL MOVEMENT.

Answer 10

I've got solid evidence...NO WAIT, DON"T FLUSH THAT...sorry about that, I had solid evidence.
