Pooping only every 3 or more days linked with cognitive decline, research finds
Scientists have found concerning associations between constipation and brain health in the first research to look into this subject.
This shit post is a shit post. Perfection.
This post is full of shit.
Shitception
I'm sick of all this enshittification, unless it's about real shit
Compared with people who pooped once a day, constipated participants had significantly worse cognition equivalent to three years more of chronological cognitive aging, the authors found. Increased risk was also found among those who pooped more than twice daily, though these higher odds were small.
Not pooping often enough? Jail. Pooping too often? Believe it or not, also jail
I tried to upvote your comment twice... I'm stupid maybe I don't poop enough
My 3-year-old niece is chronically constipated, so I think this must mean she's as smart as a 6-year-old.
That's not what cognitive decline means
This surely makes me a fucking genius
Stunning
kind of obvious to say ig but correlation =/= causation. for ex: fiber, (the plant material in our diets that is undigestable by us, but is digestible by the healthy bacteria in our intestines) both leads to a healthy "gut microbiome" while having the side effect of making your poops bigger and softer, such that it is easier for your intestines to push it through your digestive system.
Still, in case anyone was wondering, you are supposed to be pooping, aka "having bowel movements"
once every day2-3 times every day. If you aren't that regular, you may need to eat more beans & grains and less processed foods & meatsyou are supposed to be pooping, aka "having bowel movements" once every day.
Citation needed, pretty sure this is long outdated. Afaik, anything from 3 times a day to once every three days is fine.
CORRECTION: Ideal pooping frequency is actually 2-3 times a day, not 1 time a day, I was originally wrong https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flashback-friday-how-many-bowel-movements-should-you-have-should-you-sit-lean-or-squat/
Normal frequency is between 3 per day to 3 per week, but normal doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Populations eating high enough fiber diets to reach that 2-3 times a day number have 1/50th the rate of heart disease, gallstones, and appendicitis, 1/25th the rate of diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and hiatal hernia, and 1/10th the rate of colon cancer
Exactly what I've heard from our pediatrician when talking about baby pooping. When someone reaches a certain age anything between 3 days and 3 times a day is OK, as long as it looks as a normal poo
OP's making anti-shitposts... Get him!
I poop like 3 times a day or more. Almost always about 30 minutes after I eat. I poop when I wake up. I'll poop 1 or two times at work. I'll poop usually about an hour before bed. I poop when I walk around walmart
I poop a lot
I literally just got done pooping
In all seriousness, that's too much. If you are going directly after eating you've got some gi issues going on. Going that frequently can also mess up your gut flora and exacerbate whatever else you've got going on. Are you able to see a gastroenterologist?
Same. I also have ibs so...
Do yourself a favor and get some psyllium husk. Don’t overdo it with the stuff , take it once daily to start, but it will make it so you don’t have to go multiple times a day. Also it’s good for you.
I'm pooping right now. I'm eating dinner
I poop once a year but it takes all year. How do we classify that?
You're full of shit.
Not anymore!
Big TP will go bankrupt
It's like Ja'Loja but stinkier and backwards.
At the very least that's classified as pooping every day.
Is this being posted here because of the user who didn't poop for 3 days?
Shitpost taken literally
When that burrito plug came loose, my brain started working again in bliss. I believe!
Now we need to find the poster who wanted to hold it in for three days and see if there has been a cognitive decline.... for science
So what does it mean when you poop 8 times a day?
You may be on the path to unlock the ability to use 100% of your brain!
It's time to see a doctor.
Startlingly relevant to this sub in two ways
If a genie ever gives me three wishes, one of them will be that I never have to use the bathroom again. I hate every second of it. Maybe the cognitive decline is worth avoiding pooping so often.
Born to shit, forced to wipe
Don't let them tell you what to do brother
This wish seems ripe for an evil genie to just cause you to fall over dead on the spot and say "well technically..."
Just my luck...
It is, I only poop every other day max and its glorious.
You lucky bastard.
When else are you gonna doomscroll
I must be a genius because I'm three times a day. I need to stick to my FODMAP diet
Don't forget about imodium - you can take up to 4 a day (if needed) long term. And finding good substitutes is better than outright depriving yourself of the things you enjoy.
"Do you want Beans memes? Because that's how you get Beans memes."
Thanks to my anti-rejection meds (or one of the other meds I take along with them) my poop has been easy peasy. Like soft serve.
What about pooping 3x a day?
Linked to cognitive IMPROVEMENT, research finds (probably)
And all this time I was accused of shitting my brains out.
how tf can someone go 3 days w/o pooping? I'm taking steps after the first day.
Real talk: Opioid abuse. I somehow never became addicted, but I did use them recreationally. I did have legitimate medical issues (gull stones, before surgery). But sometimes I just liked the high. With that said, opioids can cause delayed poops. Many other factors too, like dehydration, not enough fiber and GI conditions.
But anyone that's somehow purposely holding it that long should see a doctor, and counseling.
Seriously. One full day and I feel like someone attached a balloon to my spleen and is filling it with lead shot. I am noticably uncomfortable to the point of it being distracting. I can't even imagine someone living 2/3 of their life like that.
Honestly? makes sense. I suffer chronic constipiaton and generally either go "regularly" every 2 days or get borderline diarrhea every 3-4 days, depending on my diet and the moon cycles or whatever the fricking hell.
And I know that I have a harder time focusing and thinking if I feel bloated. Part of it is the worry that I am going to need to step out three times in two hours to empty my colon out. Part of it is just that it is uncomfortable.
That said
About 16% of the worldwide adult population experiences constipation, but it’s even more common among older adults due to age-related factors such as lack of exercise and dietary fiber, and the use of medicines that can cause constipation as a side effect.
Makes me think a lot of this is just another side effect. If you don't exercise you tend to suffer from emotional issues* . Poor diet leads to "weird" feelings, and medicine goes without comment.
*: Seriously, even just running up and down some stairs or lifting a rinky dink 5 pound weight goes a long way to keeping your body active and help balance out the various hormones
That's some rough shit
As someone with celiac disease running towards a toilet anywhere from 3 to 14 times a day (my all time record!), I can tell you lads, the other side is not any greener. Unless bile comes out at the end.
Oh no, Hank Hill is gonna be so distressed :c
