Title: Standard time to produce a bowel movement.
Post by: paul.fr on 29/05/2007 22:35:38

If i drink water i can be almost sure that within minutes i will need to urinate. Yet, i have no timescale for when a bowel movement will be needed. It could be days! Why the difference?

I used to be like that but anymore I can expect to need to eliminate within 1/2 hour of eating after every meal!

It depends whether I eat a jacket potato or a lamb vindaloo!  [:D]
