When Politicans tell you when and where to poop, they have gone too far!
Personally, I had always noticed my own since it was suggested by my mom to pay attention...so when the doc would ask, I could tell him/her myself.
Probably my worst time was with the ex!!! She didn't give me enough of my money to properly feed myself, and she didn't properly feed me, either! I swear I could've been a gonner from malnutrition by her means of meal-planning.
I had to use the bathroom three times in the am, within about a half-hour's time! It wasn't pretty, either...sometimes I felt my body was 'purging' what she had fed me (maybe it was poison?!).
Once I got outta there, and could treat myself right, things had made a gradual improvement. But, it wouldn't have been that way if my now wife didn't tell me what things to add for nutrition...
So, although sometimes I get those bad phases (I had what my doctor said "stomach flu" a few years ago), most cases these days have been healthier.
I did discover that too many foods that cause gas really bloat me up like a balloon...with enough gas to make to Saturn and back!
