I've been eating greens instead of my usual lunch and dinner, trying to lose some body fat. I was amazed at what came out of my lower intestine after four or five days of eating salad twice a day. It's kind of disgusting but fascinating at the same time.
I feel much better. I highly recommend it just for the entertainment alone.
Old men get kind of odd about their poop.
When working in Nursing homes the old men that were still able to get around, some times came running to the desk to have someone check out their poop.
Interesting as so many men seemed to get this fear that if something was wrong it would show up in the poop.
Most were over 80 lonely old souls who had lost most family and the only people they trusted were the nurses that were there for them 24/7.
It does come in handy if one has a pet that starts to poop out strange colors. I had a old-old dog many years ago that I took to the vet, his poop was white. Vet had to put him down.
My baby's pooped yellow while on the breast, first diaper change after introducing meat and cow milk was a horror, oh Lord the smell. Future changes less smell but that first one was a woozy. With my first baby I was not prepaired for this and rushed the baby to the ER. I thought she was rotting from the inside out.
Old Roman DR.s were, as we were taught, to recognise problems from the body by checking out the smell and taste of urine, they could tell if a patient had been poisoned or had underling internal problems.
These old fellows who checked their poop were right to do so, and for us who cared for them at least we knew when they had corn for supper.
