A healthy pooh needs only 3 wipes according to

[sandyballs]

Discuss please

I would like to meet one person who eats as "healthily" as she tells us we all should.

Anyway, what is this all about? I consider I have done a healthy poo when I use only one wipe. Three wipes would be a bit of a sloppy poo IMO.

GMcK is barking. Freud would no doubt have a lot to say about her poo-obsession. Noticed how the programme makers are always careful to say 'GMcK believes...' rather than accept her statements as fact?

Mate of mine works on the show and says GMcK mad as a bucket of frogs.

She must look at the paper after each wipe and make an executive decision on whether another sheet is needed, or whether to fold it over and "blot", or whether it's safe to leave it at that. Maybe she should offer shit-wiping seminars to those of us who aren't versed in the art.

LMAO at Lonelymum considering whether she has done a healthy poo or not. "Hmm. It's quite solid, but I think I still need another sheet. Must try harder tomorrow..."

Sorry LM but I am sure you see what I mean

i've just read michelle mcmanus's diary of her experiences with dr mckeith. i laughed at the conversation they had, whem mck was quizzing her over the smell of her poo....'it's shit gillian, it smells like shit'!

If she likes shit that much, she really has missed her vocation. she should have been a SAHM. Some days I can't tell where the shit starts and the peanut butter ends.....

lol meanoldmummy

Oh yes, MOM (ha!) larfter here too.

Madder than a mad thing having a particularly mad day, if you ask me.

That's it!! She is stark, staring mad!! The fanatical zeal in her eyes... I can almost smell shit just thinking about her. Is she married? He must be a funny bugger.

My mother is a three sheets only person and brought us all up that way (she also objects to nice loo paper - last time I went shopping with her she put the nice paper that I chose back in favour of the thin scratchy stuff - and they were both recycled!). My dh on the other hand a)stands up to wipe (which I think is seriously weird) and b)uses stacks and stacks of paper. My children get seriously mixed messages!

Standing up to wipe is weird? Oh lawks, I am not getting into that one...

OMIGOD - my DH stands up to wipe as well - glad I'm not the only one who thinks its wierd

Howw do you stand up to wipe? I can't visualise it working...don't your butt cheeks clamp shut if you stand up?

We all stand up to wipe in our house - you can't reach round properly if you don't.

But, I will try to wipe whilst seated tomorrow, just in case I'm missing something....

in this house you have to do gymnastic moves to reach the paper in the downstairs lav, thanks to DP's DIY skills. One day I will be found stuck in there with a slipped disc

Exactly Meanoldmummy - and surely if your butt cheeks clamp - the poo squishes and gives you more to wipe

"Dr" McK is a loon - but she keeps the airbrushers in business if you see the front covers of her books... And before anyone says that's oh-so-bitchy, I do believe that someone who is telling other people how to be healthy shouldn't look like a wizened and pasty prune with luggage under eyes, don't you?

(Hi Joash - fancy seeing you on a poo thread! How's the cuckoo?)

LOL. I'm fine HM, love my new life. How are you?

she's not even a real doc though is she? Apparently she bought her doctorate off something like an internet seller (or something similar).

joash that's exactly what I say to dh - but he says that he is too hairy to wipe sitting down - what the logic is to that I have no idea! I can't see how it makes a difference to reaching around - I mean it's the same action standing or sitting isn't it? The only difference is the "bum spreading" thing (such a lovely conversation!)

Has "Dr" McK got a new series? She seems to be featuring a lot on mumsnet tonight
