in Food and Nutrition
Ok so I don't know if this is the right section, but it has to do with nutrtion. I'm confused as to whether or not bowel movements are supposed to float or sink. So I'm hoping that someone will know the true answer.

    Depends.

    Probably varies from what you're eating.

    The density is gonna be different.

    a high amount of fiber, which is desirable, will cause it to float.

    A chiropractor told me that if your poo doesn't float, you need to get more fiber in your diet.

    go rent the movie "caddyshack" fast forward to the scene with the pool evacuation regarding the snickers bar in the water.

    it may not be real poo but if you think of the little girl seeing the snickers bar float by her as she begins to shout "doody doody!" you will mostly likely always remember that your poo should float.

    Glad I have already eaten lunch :laugh: Correct me if I am wrong but Bill Murray ate the pool poo and I believe it was a Baby Ruth. Great movie. BTW, I will have to check mine on my next visit to the throne.:tongue:
