Super Eliminations.

[RawHeaven]

I once was listening to a health program on NPR where the guest speaker spoke about how your poo should be pretty large relative to your body size. He used the example of kids whereby they usually have pretty large eliminations compared to the actual length of their bodies (not weight). Well I'm experiencing those monster eliminations now - a year after being raw and I know this isn't ladylike :p to bring up, but sometimes I'm afraid to flush the toilet! I'm afraid it's going to get backed up. I'm happy I'm healthy and regular, but it's sometimes scary to turnaround to see those long things and they come out so easily. And don't lie, you know you look too. :D Especially when they start to become completely green or are the exact color of the food you've been eating. I haven't had brown elimins for awhile now. Just these monster green ones. Okay I guess that's enough and more than I'm comfortable sharing. hahaa. This is the only forum where I can talk about this openly cause you all get it --- I just needed to express myself and get it out. Thanks for listening and although I'm half joking, I'm very grateful for being super regular now with a clear & healthy colon. It feels GREAT.

Happy New Year!

You have said what I couldn't. It's really scary when I put a beet in my green juice, until I remember that I did. Enough said! :o

[spicyfull]

Happy New You.

[sarahrjm]

oh, I LOVE THE GREEN POOPS! its like HULK poops!!!

[LotsaRaw]

Yup - have had to use the plunger several times lately....borderline embarassing!

That's funny and true!!!

Don't wait until you're done. Flush mid-way. What's really scary is going to the homes of friends. I know MY toilet will take care of biz, but what about theirs? A bit of a pita when you have to stay in the head, wait for the toilet to stop running and flush again, et? (double flush).

a pain in the a...

[oai]

oh! i want to try some beets! sounds exciting. :D

[Vaclare79]

This is hilarious but true. My poo will be green too sometimes if I eat enough greens. RH have you done a Master Cleanse?? I just wondered out of curiosity..

Revvell! LOL. OMG...I should've gotten this advice from you before. I did have an embarrassing situation where I was at the home of a very cute guy I was dating. The toilet didn't flush and he had to use the plunger because I wasn't strong enough to get it unclogged. Talk about being as non-sexy as you can get and totally embarrassing! lol. At least it was not smelly and it was green. Ha! But guys are pretty cool about stuff like that - I was finally able to get past it. I will definately remember to flush mid stream or whatever next time, especially if I'm using someone else's commode. :p

Hi Vaclare, I completed 5 (21-40 day) master cleanses in the spring & winter of 2006 and in the spring & summer of 2007. Funny thing is I can't do them any longer - I gag on the lemonade. My body simply likes water now for fasting or green juice. I think the MC is great though, I just don't think I need it anymore. I definately think it helped unclog my colon though - along with raw foods. But water fasting was probably the real healer. After my last water fast, man...well that's when the large elimins started. :D

Ha. Love it. Hulk Poop! hahaaa. That is really funny.

You're not kidding.

[rawstrength]

Am I crazy for wanting a compost toilet, so that I don't have to waste those huge eliminations but can return them to my garden?

[Vaclare79]

OMG that is so funny about the HULK bombs in the bf 's toilet. Yeah, I would flush midstream. Make sure it gets going down already before I stopped up the toilet! :D I've already had embarrassing HULK BOMB moments at my guy friend's house... Not too sexy there either.

I tried the lemonade and couldn't drink it b/c lemons were burning my tongue. I don't know why but I guess I'm so toxic that I can't even drink lemonade. I am wondering if the burning sensation will go away if I detoxify my body and get the pollution (SH#T) out.. If I'll be able to eat/drink what I want raw without worries if it'll bother me.

I love the mastercleanse- that is how I got into raw foods was after I did my first cleanse.

The first time I eat beets the after effects really scared the you know what out of me....beet colored poop and I was peeing not my normal colored pee either ...had a slight pink tint to it. I did get a great deal on beets though - 5# bag of them for a few bucks.

As long as we're "letting it all hang out"...might as well tell you that I had this experience at the gym a while back and I'm afraid that the toilet became clogged. Luckily, no one else was in the bathroom and after all while I heard a large bubble/gurgling noise and the toilet finally took her down (one of those automated deals you know)... I hate using public bathrooms but I promised my colon that I would not deny her when it was time to make a move unless it was an absolute emergency...

Rawheaven has sparked another question...

Does everyone have a system for public bathroom use or even use at other people's houses?

I do. I usually flush twice unless the toilet is in poor condition and you can tell its still the same water from before. Next I place a few squares of paper in the water to help absorb some of the shock of the impending torpedo; these two steps help in the prevention of "splashback" - I hate when you get splash back toilet water on your bottom. I get into squatting position - now if I have on long pants I have already made sure that they are pulled up to my knees before hand (same with a skirt) (my sister thinks I'm crazy but hey, I've been in enough bathrooms and seen the puddles on the floor and we know its not water- some people actually set their bags/purses on the floor-that blows my mind). I also have my toilet paper that I am using either tucked in the crevice of my underarm or somewhere near my thighs. I do what I gotta do, but I try to guide the movement with simultaneous breathing and pushing movements when necessary (helps the torpedo to hit the water with minimal splashback). That's the basic process- won't bore you with anymore details. Like I said before, my sister thinks this is just extreme but hey, this is my deal...I used to avoid using public bathrooms but I promised my colon I wouldn't do it anymore...I always keep a stash of gloves, toilet paper/wipes in my purse. Ladies are nasty - (sorry ladies not all of us but the truth is the truth) I have seen too many women in public places walk out the bathroom without washing their hands never mind bothering to care where their urination (or other business) landed.

Always an interesting subject :)

I had a bag of baby carrots for dinner, the next morning my poo was orange, bright bright orange.

lavendar you aren't lying girl.

your visuals have reminded me why i'm sometimes reluctant to use public restrooms. if it's really nasty i will turn around and walk out. this probably borders on OCD and worrying about germs with me, but i've overcome it to some degree. at least i can walk in the door when i have to go. you don't even want to know what i go through and the steps i take. my rear doesn't touch the seat - i learned how to squat!! lol. just like outdoor camping or those long road trips. sometimes i forget to put the seat down and i've gotten some strange looks at times if i'm still in the restroom.

and leaving? if there isn't some sort of easy exit revolving door system i'm in trouble. then i will use everything but my hands to open the door because i too have watched countless numbers of people walk out without washing their hands. in restaurants too, no less. oh well.

yes, always an interesting topic. but a part of life. nice to know we can talk about it. hehe.

I used to avoid public restrooms at all costs, too. After 5 weeks in China, no public restrooms phase me anymore. Those of us in the developed world are so lucky in the developed world to always have relatively clean bathrooms and indoor plumbing.

You are so right about China. Did you travel up to the mountains also? You are then literally using it right on the side of the road and it ain't pretty. Thank you for reminding me it isn't so bad here comparatively - it's easy to forget. I will not complain again. :p

[Baby Bird]

Can I just say that the toilets on a cruise ship are the best if you are having major raw foodie elimns? It's some sort of vacuum system, and even when my body was detoxing in a big way, it just whisked it away.

[Ilse W.]

It would be cheaper to install a bigger toilet. How about a composing one. I bet our poo is much healthier and composts faster than a meat eater's poo.:D
