Who poo'ed...did you???

When I was a little kid and first became exposed to the naughty nature of children and their uncanny fascination with poo, I quickly learned the correct and incorrect ways to describe it in public setting. Below I will categorize the words most commonly used for this regular bodily function:

1) Poo or Poop
 - The word "poo" is often used in conjuction with the unattractive smell associated either before or after the action of relieving one's bowels takes place. Add a simple letter "p" to the end and you will be describing the action itself.
EX. " Ewww.... Mom, Trent smells like poop!" or " Peee-eeeww, she poo'ed!"

2) "BM"
 - A "BM" is a technical abbreviation for "bowel movement." This, according to my grandmother, who is the knower of all things, it is the most appropriate way to describe such personal functions, in public or private. It is also the most politically correct way to describe the action taking place.
EX. "May I please be excused, I need to make a BM."

3) #2
 - Realizing the meaning of doing a "#2" can only be understood by knowing the meaning of doing a "#1." Here we see that the first describes simple urination, while the second describes the complex task of bowel movements. Oftentimes parents will ask their children, "Do you need to go to the bathroom?" "Okay, #1 or #2?"
*Note: This way of describing the lower bowel movements is accepted in most all settings and situations and is the most 'politically correct' version to use.

4) crap or it's censored version "$h!t"
 - To "crap" one's pants, or to "take a crap" is often used by the pre-teen to early and late adulthood generations. There is a sense of vulgarity to this verbiage and it is considered most rude to say out loud in public, especially the latter.
EX. "Gross Josh! You just crapped all over yourself!" or "Man, get outta my way! I need to take a massive $h!t"

5) Doo-doo or boo-boo
 - These variations can be used by adults and children alike. The repetition in the words make them easy for kids to learn and they are generally accepted in public, when speaking to or about children's bowel movements.
EX. "Momma, I need to go boo-boo." or "Daddy, doo-doo'ed upstairs!"

6) Taking a "dump" 
Taking a dump is a common way to describe the process of passing stools and specifically refers to a large amount of waste being removed from the bowels. Often, it is also assumed, by using this phrase, that you will be engaged in bathroom functions for some time.
EX. " AY! Close the door! I'm taking a dump here!"

SO...I hope that proved to be an informational and entertaining spin on the normal bodily functions we each experience everyday. No matter what you call it, or when you it happens, everyone does it!

Throughout your detox I hope yours are as smooth and pain-free as possible. Happy dumping!

Pre-poo post

Hello there, unsuspecting reader...

(that sounded so malicious, it was not malintended)

Welcome to the new poo-forum.

Tomorrow I will begin my very first ever lower bowel cleanse.

Photo of Dr. John R. Christopher himself, the jolly old man he was.  

I have been recommended by natural hygenists, and nutritional clinicians alike to begin first with the lower bowel, since that is the last place deigested food items go before they depart to the unknown waters below the bowl.

So here you have it:

Dr. John R. Christopher's LB Formula (lower bowel formula)

After some thorough research about this fantastic formula I decided to buy a small supply and take this as my first step. Starting at the beginning, and from the bottom up (literally...hehe)

The formula includes:

Lower Bowel Formula contains: Barberry Bark, Cascara Sagrada Bark, Cayenne, Ginger, Lobelia herb and or seeds, Red Raspberry Leaves, Turkey Rhubarb Root, Fennel, Golden Seal Root. All encapsulated products are in a pure 100% vegetable based capsule.

Extract: a base of Pure vegetable Glycerine, Distilled Water, & Ethyl Alcohol (less than 5%).


I have ordered the capsules and will take them 2-3x/daily with meals, taking 2 capsules at each meal.

Of the following I have (see those underlined):

Ailments historically treated: Acne, Appendicitis, Bad Breath (Halitosis), Blood Sugar (Diabetes), Blood Sugar (Low/Hypoglycemia), Constipation, Worms, Triglycerides (High).

I do NOT know if I have worms in my stomach (apparently many of us do) but I imagine they will be rid by the end of this cleanse.

Worries: I will be pooping beyond control after taking these supplements.

Hopes: I will "feel lighter" if you know what I mean, and also develop a very regular bowel movements schedule, clean out my colon without invasive techniques and feel/look younger.

SO...there we have it. Today is my last day of ... of ... hmm...

I guess I won't be doing much of anything different except adding these capsules to my meals. We shall see, shant we?

Tomorrow will be my first day of lower bowel cleansing! HORRAY!

Have any of YOU ever done a cleanse like this before????? Comment below!


Eat well. Live well. Be well.
