Am sick of finding dh's logs afloat. What does he need to eat/not eat to stop this happening?

You do not know all there is, as there are

Redwine/Iron Poo - It's terribly dark and sticks to the sides.

Peanut butter poo - feels like your poo has bits of glass in as it comes out.

Pile Poo - the one where you are convinced that your piles WILL burst causing much blood .........

My poos flat a lot and they also never flush. You'd think I had a staple diet of balsa wood and corks.

Looks like my diet is generally healthy but with too much fat Figures

The length of poo you can produce is partly down to toilet design, from what I know. A toilet design with a higher water level (e.g. an American toilet) magically allows you to produce longer poos, as they don't break up on the way down - they don't have to support their own weight, iyswim.

Dh loves his Dutch friend's toilet as it has what can only be described as an "inspection shelf" where the poo lands prior to flushing. He is such a saddo

for those that loved the 10 poos list there is a more extensive one \link{http://members.tripod.com/~foodgodbb/poop.html\here), a whole 37 categories (some as in the list below).

I thought I was the only one who did "ghost poos"

I once worked in the kitchen at an old people's home where the staff used to come in and discuss the poos they had to deal with. Childish and unprofessional I know but how we larfed. I'll always remember one nurse describing a giant log she had met with. She said "It must have been like giving birth - in fact it was so big, I was tempted to put a bonnet on it!"
