Did it come out SIDEWAYS?

This poo really excited me. So much so that I called my girlfriend in to see it!


It was a standard poo on a regular day and I looked between my legs to check the progress of my shit. This is what I saw: A perfectly straight log that spanned the diameter of the toilet bowl. Amazing!

I didn't have my camera with me so I called my girlfriend to get it for me, and showed her the poo. She was horrified of course, but she knows about this plog and she knows how fascinated I am with my own poos, so she was encouraging. Neither of course could believe how straight it was. She focused on the thinness of the poo, but her's are often as thick as my wrist, and I'd rather not try to squeeze that out my ass.

Meanwhile: This plog has recently recieved a comment, on the post "Hard Poos and Hard Times". A reader is concerned that these kinds of thin, pencil-shaped poos are a sign of colorectal cancer. Could be, but I'm not exhibiting any of the other symptoms, so it seems unlikely. Although I really should eat more fibre, I agree. I feel that my pencil-poos are more related to the softness of my poo, combined with the tightness of my sphincter (which may be related to my psoriasis). I drink coffee, and coke, and eat junk food, etc, etc. It's not something I've tried very hard to change because I've always been thin. My ass seems to be pretty inelastic, possibly because of the psoriasis located on it. When I have a big robust poo it's usually really uncomfortable and painful and sometimes cracks my ass like a chapped lip. So I guess there's a bit of a disincentive to eat more fibre.

Anyhow, thanks for the concern. I feel fine. I just have skinny poos.

I am new to this. I actually came across your poo pictures because I have been having trouble with constipation. I feel you should be a little concerned about your poops and maybe do an enema in case there is a hard poop stuck which is causing your skinny poops and the color. It also looks like there is some fat in it too.
Anyways, I have been having trouble with constipation so I have done a total of three saline enemas. The first one was diarrhea. The second one, hard ones came out and the third one was almost normal. The reason I came to your post was, I used a stool softener a couple days ago and have not went since. In fact, I have not gone on my own, in 3 weeks!! I really needed to go today. I stook a softener last night with nothing. I have also been taking fibre pills and probiotics. So I used a micro enema today and my poo came out and look the your sideways one, which concerned me. When are my bowel movements going to be harder and a darker color? Or is that actually not normal? I do not know what normal looks like anymore, most of my like I had pellet like bowel movements which were hard to come out or I had hard ones that were dark brown. WHAT IS NORMAL!? I have been to the hospital and my doctor. They just said do another enema, eat more fibre, take stool softeners but WHEN DOES IT END? The doctor said, because of the hard stools, my colon is stretched? I am also a woman and I do not do anal haha.
Anyways, I really think you should take some fibre pills. Your bowel movements do look concerning. At least try an enema to see if anything hard comes out. Colorectal cancer is the real deal. My mom didn't have symptoms for two years, she even had the bowels checked for blood, negative. One day she kept vomiting. Turns out she had a blockage from a cancerous tumor which was 8cm in size. So I would be a little concerned about your bowel movements!

As a medical student, I would say: Yes, its true that cancers are highly asymptomatic till late stages, so just feeling fine doesnt indicate absence of cancer. As to normal bowel movements: Try drinking a cup of warm water twice a day, once before breakfast and once at bedtime. Gradually taper off the stool softeners and especially the fiber pills (as their usage leads to a vicious cycle of bowel dependence) and start eating natural fibers instead.
Exercise regularly (preferably cardio rather than weights to stimulate regular bowel movements).
It is highly important to minimize consumption of alcohol and caffeine (found in coffee, colas, etc) as these are natural diuretic and dehydrating substances, and staying hydrated is extremely important for regular healthy bowel motions! Hope it helps :)

For about a month or so my poop has been looking fuzzy on the outside of it and i dont know what that means. the fuzz is sometimes light brown sometimes white, etc. Today i found a stick looking thing in my poop i am freaking out and i dont know what both of these mean. i have had pinworms also twice in the past few months. (i dont know if this all relates or not) someone please tell me if they know anything about any of this.

This is a really lovely long poo. It must have felt incredible pushing it out of your bum and really awesome to look at how long it is. Looks to be fairly creamy if you were to handle it, I really adore a creamy or sticky poo, especially when it takes some cleaning up. I do hope it smelt like a full meaty poo, I often like to poke my nose in my boyfriends anus after he poos, or at least stick a finger in his bottom so I can smell him properly. Well done on your long poo and thank you so much for sharing! Truly beautiful.
