WEEK TWO


Day eight - February 21, 2001

12:06 pm I can't believe I've already gotten two votes from you people to see my poo. I don't think I'll get 28 more by the time this experiment is over. I sure hope not.

I'm having the last bowl of a lovely carrot soup I made. I love soup. Anybody have a recipe for me? Send it my way.

Derick donated a bag-o-carrots. They were huge carrots. My goodness. One filled me up pretty quickly, but I'm still only counting them as single carrots.

10:30pm I munched on a bag of baby carrots and ranch during the movie "Traffic". An excellent film, I must say. That Benecio Del Torro is very very ugly. I wonder what he would look like orange? oooh.

The baby carrots weren't ripe, so I put the rest of them in a brown paper bag so maybe they'll ripen. I hear that works with citrus and stuff that grows on trees, but I'm not sure about carrots. We'll see in the morning. I'll let you know.


 

I'm a lousy carrot.  

Total carrots consumed:

Letters from You

I went into the future one month (with my time machine that looks like a walk in closet) and downloaded this picture of you from your web site after the carotene project. I thought you might want to see it, cause things from the future are cool. Just be careful, you know what happened to Marty McFly.

It did (or does... will?) work!!! As long as you don't give up on it, thus creating a paradox and ultimately destroying the universe. Be careful, stop doing these experiments that could have a catastrophic effect on everyone!

Anyway, here is the picture from the future...

orange.

Look how fricken orange you are!!!!

That's awesome.

JD


Hey carrot girl,
Cool project -- I've always wondered if you really could turn yourself orange by eating carrots, and I'll be watching to see your results.

Don't worry about these people telling you that too much beta carotene will kill you or hurt your liver -- beta carotene is safe at incredibly high doses.

You should check your hands and feet for color changes first, since that's where the pigment is supposed to collect first.

Finally, I'm going to have to give one vote AGAINST posting a picture of your poo. I can imagine it well enough.

Good Luck!

Robin



...So tell me, is eating carrots the way to enlightenment.  I mean, you never know... you could go into some sort of carotene induced hysteria and collapse under a tree...  you could glimpse nirvana!  You'd be Kim, the American Buddha...

Votes to see the poo: 2

Votes against seeing the poo: 1

I found this extremely helpful article at HEPTUNE which was written by Brenna E. Lorenz.

What is poop made of?
About 3/4 of your average turd is made of water. Of course, this value is highly variable - the water content of diarrhea is much higher, and the amount of water in poop that has been retained (voluntarily or otherwise) is lower. Water is absorbed out of fecal material as it passes through the intestine, so the longer a turd resides inside before emerging, the drier it will be.
Of the remaining portion of the turd, about 1/3 is composed of dead bacteria. These microcorpses come from the intestinal garden of microorganisms that assist us in the digestion of our food. Another 1/3 of the turd mass is made of stuff that we find indigestible, like cellulose, for instance. This indigestible material is called "fiber," and is useful in getting the turd to move along through the intestine, perhaps because it provides traction. The remaining portion of the turd is a mixture of fats such as cholesterol, inorganic salts like phosphates, live bacteria, dead cells and mucus from the lining of the intestine, and protein.


Why does poop stink?
Poop stinks as a result of the products of bacterial action. Bacteria produce smelly, sulfur-rich organic compounds such as indole, skatole, and mercaptans, and the inorganic gas hydrogen sulfide. These are the same compounds that give farts their odor.
Why is poop brown?
The color comes mainly from bilirubin, a pigment that arises from the breakdown of red blood cells in the liver and bone marrow. The actual metabolic pathway of bilirubin and its byproducts in the body is very complicated, so we will simply say that a lot of it ends up in the intestine, where it is further modified by bacterial action. But the color itself comes from iron. Iron in hemoglobin in red blood cells gives blood its red color, and iron in the waste product bilirubin gives rise to its brown color.

 
What other colors of poop are possible?
Poop is mostly shades of brown or yellow, but other colors can arise under certain circumstances. For example, someone with a bleeding ulcer might have tarry black poop from the presence of partially digested blood. Bleeding in the intestine, from an anal fissure or split, for example, can stain the poop red. Some illnesses in babies gives them green or even blue-green poop. But another source of blue poop in children is more innocent: it can come from eating a concentrated source of blue food coloring such as ice cream. Intense red food coloring can produce bright red poop. Sometimes brightly colored foods pass through the gut almost unchanged, and the turd may be speckled with bright red fragments such as pimentos, or bright yellow kernels of corn.
One can experience white poop after consuming a barium milkshake for the purposes of getting an x-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract.


What is the cause of yellow poop?
According to Michael F., one cause of this is Gilbert's Syndrome. "I have a benign condition known as Gilbert's Syndrome. It affects quite a few people, males mostly, in their teens+. It is a deficiency in the liver where red blood cells are broken down. I was informed when this was diagnosed that the broken down blood cells is what gives poop a lot of its color. People with Gilbert's Syndrome don't process as many blood cells - or not as fast - and their poop tends to be pale brown or yellow from the lower quantity of discarded red blood cell matter. This is especially true if there is less matter in your intestines (i.e., on a diet - as I have noticed) to remove the excess blood cells. Very frightening until you determine what is causing it. Gilbert's is a totally benign thing that doesn't harm anyone, although when a person is sick they can turn yellowish as if jaundiced, but it is not jaundice."
Another cause of yellow poop is a giardia infection. Giardia are tiny Protozoan parasites that can invade the intestines and result in severe yellow diarrhea. It is a dangerous and contagious affliction that doctors are obligated to report to the Center for Disease Control.
What is the cause of green poop?
(Question submitted by ap, CrAzYMiC98 and several others)
I have consulted with a doctor, a physiologist and a microbiologist on this question, and the following summarizes their answers:
Healthy people can have green poop if they eat a diet rich in leafy green vegetables, or if they consume large quantities of food coloring (in ice cream, cake frosting etc.).
Green poop can also be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary supplements, for example. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the iron may stain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts. Ordinarily, the green color may be masked by the normal brown poop color, but if digestion is thrown off by illness so that bilirubin is less concentrated in the intestine, the green color may become apparent. This can happen when a person is afflicted with diarrhea.
Green poop in sick babies may come from iron in baby formula not being properly absorbed, or by green pigments in bile salts (again, green from iron).

Why is bird poop white?
(Question submitted by Sarah Beth)
Unlike mammals, birds don't urinate. Their kidneys extract nitrogenous wastes from the bloodstream, but instead of excreting it as urea dissolved in urine as we do, they excrete it in the form of uric acid. Uric acid has a very low solubility in water, so it emerges as a white paste. This material, as well as the output of the intestines, emerges from the bird's cloaca. The cloaca is a multi-purpose hole for birds: their wastes come out of it, they have sex by putting their cloacas together, and females lay eggs out of it.

Why do dogs (and other animals) eat poop?
Many animals eat poop on a regular basis. These include rabbits, rodents, gorillas, many insects such as dung beetles and flies, and yes, dogs. (Keep that in mind the next time a dog wants to lick you!) Herbivores such as rabbits and rodents eat their own poop because their diet of plants is hard to digest efficiently, and they have to make two passes at it to get everything out of the meal. This is equivalent to a cow chewing its cud, only cows are able to re-eat their food without having to poop it out first. Another reason why animals eat poop is that poop contains vitamins produced by their intestinal bacteria. The animal is unable to absorb the vitamins through the intestinal wall, but can get at them by eating the poop. Another reason that animals such as dogs and flies eat poop is that poop contains a certain amount of protein. Dogs are particularly fond of cat poop because cat poop is high in protein. I had a friend with a dog and a cat, and he never had to clean the kitty litter. The dog took care of it.

Are there people who eat poop?
Yes, we all have, at one point or another. One of the main ways that diseases and parasites spread is through the consumption of food and water contaminated with feces. This happens because people don't wash their hands carefully after pooping or changing a diaper or scratching their butt. It can also happen through careless disposal of diapers. Our microbiologist here on Guam says that one dirty diaper in Tumon Bay can send the bacteria count through the ceiling.
But of course, what you want to know is, are there people who eat poop on purpose? Again, the answer is yes. In rare instances, people with severe developmental and psychological disorders practice pica, the consumption of non-food items, including coprophagy, the ingestion of feces. The behavior may also be observed among very young toddlers. Coprophagy is also listed as an unusual sexual practice in the encyclopedia of that name. Some people who practice sexual coprophagy say that only a lover's poop is good to eat; all other poop (including their own) makes them gag.
I have personally known only one person who ate poop on purpose, and she only did it once, when she was about four years old. She says she was curious about what it tasted like. When asked what poop does taste like, she replies, "About like you'd expect."
By the way, for all of you who are wondering, the author of this page does NOT eat poop.

Can you get sick from eating poop?
(Question submitted by Wendell)
Yes, you can definitely get sick from eating poop, even in minute quantities! Although urine emerges sterile from the body (unless the person has an infection), poop emerges loaded with bacteria and sometimes other life forms. Many diseases, including food poisoning, cholera and typhus, are spread by fecal contamination. Many parasites, such as the notorious tapeworm, can be spread through deliberate or accidental ingestion of poop.
There are some parasites, such as pinworms, who depend on people eating their own poop to keep the population up. Pinworms are small nematodes that live in the colon. The females emerge from the anus at night to lay their eggs. Their activity makes the anal area itch. The person scratches the itch (often doing so in his sleep), procuring a small amount of fecal matter and eggs under his fingernails, and then puts his fingers in his mouth. Once the eggs are consumed, the person is infected with a new generation of pinworms.
I have read that almost everyone has pinworms. Luckily, pinworms don't do much harm. You only notice them if you have a lot of pinworms! If you want to find out if you do indeed have them, get someone to gently touch around your anal area with Scotch tape while you are sleeping. The worms will stick to the tape and you'll be able to see them.

What causes diarrhea?
(Question submitted by Travis)
Diarrhea is caused by irritation in the intestines, resulting in the bowel passing its contents too fast for the water to be absorbed. There can be several causes, including infection by bacteria or viruses, irritation caused by unfamiliar foods, food allergies, chronic illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease, lactose intolerance, medications, and nervousness. If it's a persistant problem, don't mess around - see a doctor.

Do most people wipe their left-over poop standing up or while sitting on the pot, and are there gender differences?

(Question submitted by ICEMAN)
This isn't really scientific, but I did a quick survey, and everyone asked (including both males and females) said that they wipe sitting down. (Marko wrote to ask, "Am I the only person who wipes standing up? Surely not...") There was even a reason provided: that sitting down spreads the cheeks apart and makes access easier. This survey was done on Guam, and Guam is technically part of the United States, and most people here probably use American toilet habits. However, if you travel a bit, you will discover that people deal with left-over poop in different ways in other parts of the world.
In Europe, for example, that water fountain in the bathroom isn't for drinking. It's a bidet for hosing off after using the toilet.
In Southeast Asia, you don't sit on the toilet at all. The toilet is a low, porcelain-lined trench, and the user squats over it. Next to the toilet is a bin of water. You scoop water out of the bin with your left hand and use that to cleanse yourself. You aren't supposed to use your left hand for any other purpose.

How come when you eat corn, no matter how much you chew it, you poop it out in whole kernals?

(Question submitted by Timzx)
Corn poop is one of the greatest mysteries in life. I grew up pondering the same question. This is what I think is happening:
When we chew corn, the outer coating slips off the inner kernal. This outer yellow coating is almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible. It passes through the gut untouched, and emerges looking like a whole kernal, although it is mostly just the outer skin. The inside of the kernal is starchy and digestible, and that is the part that we succeed in chewing up.

Is there any way to prevent corn from getting in your poop?
(Question submitted by Steve)
I know of only one way - don't eat corn!

How does poop stay together, like in links?
(Question submitted by Blink182 Girl)
In humans, soft poop is really one long, mostly continuous sausage before it comes out. It gets its "link" look because we tend to pinch off lengths of it with the anal sphincter as the poop emerges. If a person pinches hard enough, the poop separates into several turd units. If the person doesn't pinch that hard, the turds may stay connected.
If you can remain sufficiently relaxed, you can produce an awesomely long poop that will coil up inside the toilet.

Why does some poop float?
(Question submitted by High Rise)
Floaters are turds that have an unusually high gas content. Sometimes the gases produced by bacteria in our gut don't have a chance to collect into a large fart bubble, but remain dispersed in the feces. The poop then comes out foamy, and has a lower density than water.

What causes the burning sensation sometimes associated with poop?
(Question submitted by torrance crump)
This is generally caused by a recent meal of hot peppers or related spices. The oils associated with these foods remain intact and active all the way through one's gastrointestinal system. These oils can also generate hot farts.

Why does some poop hurt when it comes out?
(Question submitted by Rwinger01)
Turds can get very large and dry if a person is constipated, causing painful stretching of the anal opening. Pooping can also hurt if the person has hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are engorged veins in the anal area. A doctor once described them to me as "varicose veins of the anus," which suggests that the valves in the veins that are supposed to keep the blood flowing in the right direction have gotten messed up. Pooping can also be painful if the person suffers from an anal fissure, a tear in the tissue of the rectum.

Why does poop sometimes fizzle like Alka Seltzer when it hits the water?
(Question submitted by Penelope B.)
Fizzling can happen if the poop is supercharged with bubbles of fart gas. After discharge from the body, the poop is in a lower pressure environment and it degasses.

Does eating meat make your poop smell worse?
(Question submitted by MAE5158)
Yes, meat protein is rich in sulfides, resulting in smellier farts and poop. This is the reason that the poop of carnivores such as dogs, cats and snakes smells worse than the poop of herbivores such as cows and horses.

Is it possible to vomit poop?
It is not possible unless the person is suffering from some extremely rare condition or disorder. I had a roommate once whose summer job was to administer barium enemas to patients in a hospital. She told me that one patient vomited the enema.
Is it possible for a man to have poop come out of his penis, or for a woman to poop out of her vaginal opening?
(Question submitted by Booby Poop, Jr. and LaysTatoChips222)
Not normally; fortunately the plumbing of the genitalia is entirely separate from the plumbing of the digestive system! However, there are certain pathological situations that can cause the pipes to get connected together wrong. Cancer can do it, as can surgical diversions of the human tubing. Such fistulas, as they are called, can cause feces to come out of the urinary system, or urine to come out of the anus.

Can you blow up a toilet by throwing a cigarette into it after pooping?
(Question submitted by msiddi)
This sounds like urban legend to me. It would take a heck of a lot of hydrogen to explode a toilet in this manner, and intestinal gases just don't have that much. Also, any flame would just flare up briefly. With an open toilet, you couldn't get up enough pressure to pop the pot!

"Why did you make a website about something as yucky as poop?"
(Question submitted by Maggpie2001 and many others)
Well... it all started many years ago when I was a graduate student in Buffalo, New York, and my roommate and I started writing down all the synonyms we could think of for poop, farts, and other bodily products, functions and parts. We called our collection "The Nether Thesaurus" and we went around showing it to people and collecting more words. This is a continuation of the poop part of that.
Then some linguists saw The Nether Thesaurus and said it was a valuable resource for linguistic analysis. Now, I'm not a linguist except as an amateur, so if any of you are linguistics professionals, feel free to analyze these lists! Just let me know what you discover.
Then I started collecting those fun rhymes that kids make up on the playground, and called the collection "Kiddie Scats." The relevant part of that collection is included here, too.
As for the questions, people have a lot of natural curiosity about bodily functions.
And then there's the undeniable fact that poop is funny! It smells funny, it sounds funny coming out, and it's dirty, private, and stinky, which makes it even funnier.
And I guess that's why I made a website about poop!

What is the origin of the word "poop"?
(Question submitted by Screechr86)
According to Eric Partridge in his excellent book of word origins (Origins: A Short Etymological Dictionary of Modern English), "poop" comes from the Middle English word poupen or popen, and it originally meant "fart." The word was based on the sound of a fart. According to Robert Chapman, author of American Slang, "poop" came into use with its current meaning around 1900.

How come people say "I'm gonna go take a dump"? when in reality they are leaving a dump?
(Question submitted by Jonathan)
Yes, that is one of the English language's more peculiar expressions. My hypothesis is that the experience of pooping is so pleasant that although we are leaving a dump, we are gaining pleasure and satisfaction. Perhaps it developed as an analog to "taking a break," during which time one also "takes a dump."
And here is the real explanation from an anonymous linguistics professor: "I can tell you that the reason we say 'take a shit/dump' is for the same reason we 'take' a vacation...in this situation, the nouns poop/dump or shit are used to describe an activity occuring over a time, not the actual physical object itself. One is 'taking' the time to leave a shit in a bowl. actually the use of the word dump really reflects how much we subconsciously understand this action, as one's ass is dumping the ass apples into the bowl. the word has simply been changed to a noun to denote the time spent during evactuation of the bowels."

Letters From You

When I get constipated I drink a couple pints of
carrot juice. I think it is all pulp as little comes
out as pee. Is your pee orange? unlikely.

Your palms of your hands will have an orange hue.

Maybe the soles of your feet.

But I dont think 30 days is long enough.

And eating too many....would kill you....you would
probably go into a coma first.

I like your domain name.

mine is mellofello.com

At least you have content !!!

Kimmy, you are turning orange, it looks good on you.

I want to vote to NOT see your orange poo, although of course I used to see your poo all the time when you were a baby. It's not so cute now though.

I'm hoping the Antichrist will rise to power and for his first proclaimation he will ban pictures of poo on the internet, before you get voted into doing so. XXOOXOXOOXX, mom

5:16pm I've eaten a humungous amount of carrots today. I sat here for five hours and ate three bags of baby carrots, just munchin away. I am a carrot pig - only I guess maybe not as hairy.

People have been telling me that I'm looking yellower. I am morphing into some sort of an orange pig being. I hope to develop super powers beyond my already uncannily perceptive sense of smell.

Hi Kim,
How interesting. Someone with a weird project that isn't obscene or deadly. What a novel concept!
I have never tried this but one of my children (the fair skinned one) turned visibly orange as a baby. She loved carrots. Keep an eye on your fingers, especially under your nails.
I ate dinner at a friends house the other night and we had potatoes (not sweet or yams) that were a dark orange, almost red. Not just the skin but all of the way through. This would add some variety and still keep with your color scheme.
For your next photo wear white and find a white wall so that we can see your 'real' color.
tks, ed-centric

Yay more underoo pics!! ha ha!!! Ranch and baby carrots are by far the most excellent way to eay carrots!!! You could also get a cheap juicer and drink the shite. Hmmmmmmmmm? Yeah, it would probably be easier!! And more tasty cos you could blend other yummy stuff into it. yeah yeah!! And I would like to cast 1 vote to not see your poo!!! Thanks!! Woop woop!! J-7-8-9-Sun


Day eleven - February 24, 2001

12:25pm I'm in a bad mood. Bad bad bad mood. I don't feel like eating anything, let alone something gross and carroty. rrr. Tonight's poker night. Mayhaps that will cheer me up.

9:00pm I've eaten the last of some rubbery carrots, which were left in the heated mall store overnight last week. These carrots you could bend in half. But hey, what else was I supposed to eat?

.. at least i'm getting my protein, right?

9:45pm Gawl I've been a jerk all day. Maybe I'm PMSing. I think I just chased one of the poker guys out. I've been very short with evryone today. You know what's funny? Everybody's been playing the games I want to play and being careful about saying the "W" word around me tonight. Crazy. They are afraid of me now, and for good reason. I feel terribly guilty, but at the same time, powerful. I am a B-word! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

10:30pm Derick showed up a little late and brought me some carrot cake with actual chunks of carrot in it. Now, I've never like carrot cake, but this tasted soooooooo good to me because I've been craving sugar all day. It was my dream come true. I am now a lover of the carrot cake. Thanks, Derick. You saved my blood sugar.

Don't wanna see the poop. No Thanks. Keine Schiese, bitte. Danke.


I was put on a carrot diet by my doctor. After six months of a quart a day of carrot juice, I had to pound it as fast as possible, to avoid the gag reflex. To this date, I can't smell carrot juice without getting queasy.

I never turned orange, but I had a lot of fun taking craps at other people's house during parties and not flushing.

Take care of your liver, and kidneys.

I hereby vote to see your poo. Also, my 28 friends agree. :-) Kristoffer

Jon got me some much needed Vita Shooter from the mini mart next to the comic book store. It tasted like orange soda pop concentrate and Flinstones vitamins in motor oil.

I'm not sure if I should trust any drug or vitamin that is sold by the same place that carries fake roses than unfold into tighty whities and packets of pure ephedrine, but whatever. Here are the essential vitamins and nutrients it supplied me with:

vitamin A 100%
vitamin B 100%
vitamin C 100%
vitamin D 100%
vitamin B-1 100%
vitamin B-2 100%
vitamin B-6 100%
vitamin B-12 100%
Folic Acid 100%
Zinc Gluconate 100%
Ginko Bilboa 1 MG
Ginseng 1 MG

I'm a lousy carrot.  

Total carrots consumed:

88

...and 47 glasses carrot juice.

I can't believe this project is only halfway over. I'm hating every second. Seeing these photos really makes it all worthwhile, though. I've obviously changed drastically, although it's hard for you to see the big difference through these pictures. We've been having a tough time making the lighting exactly the same each week.

I've been stuffing myself with carrots this week, and it looks like it has paid off. I'm really orangish. I took one of our viewer's advice and decided to wear a white shirt for this photo. Apparently it helps you to see my real color.

Jon is the best cook. So far he's whipped out a lovely carrot and spinach souflette, a delicate candied carrots and tofu dinner and mashed up carrots with honey. Mmmmm. Sure beats raw carrots.
