I'm a nurse on afternoon shift on a rehab unit. It's referred to as the "poop shift". The patients are ALL about bowel movements, and afternoon shift is responsible for making that happen. We have stimulant laxatives, fiber laxatives, enemas, stool softeners - you name it. It's at the center of everybody's mind. These are the people who are very happy if they go 3 times a week. They're old or very sick and don't move around much, not burning very many calories, with extremely small appetites. They eat as much in a week as most cyclists probably eat in a day.

What goes in must come out! The more you burn, the more you eat, the more you keep your bowels moving. I have taken care of constipated big eaters, though - young people. Talk about a mess!

My husband and I have a big garden and try to grow as much of our own food as possible and eat lots of veggies, plus I eat a big bowl of raisin bran every morning. That + cycling = good BMs.

Happy pooping, everyone!
