Let's talk about POOP...FLOATERS OR SINKERS

I was told the other day that healthy poop floats. They say it tells you that you are getting enough fiber in your diet. I was told sometime ago that your poop should be the consistency of mashed potato's and I don't think mashed potato's float. Does anyone know what a "healthy" poop should do; FLOAT or SINK and what should the consistency be or does that matter?

If I were able to take a crap I would tell you. I have heard the sinking/floating thing before in regards to too much fat in ones diet.

HAHAHAHAHA, I mean, so sorry you can't crap. ;)

Well, I never paid much attention before this thread. I used to go daily (preband) but now go every few days. I know it's because I don't eat enough veggies and fruits- but I try so hard just to get in the rec. Protein.

Anyway.... so this was weird. Half floated and half sunk.

Well, I finally managed to have a BM and it was a sinker. I still dont know what that means and I am not certain that I care, it was nice to actually be able to go!

I keep hoping for one that looks like the Virgin Mary. If someone can make that much money for her image on toast off EBay, I figure...well..... *wrings hands together with evil plotting*

Gross...Art....Fine... meet line.....eh? One good stinker and voila! I'm an artist! Self-made.
