@instituteofhumananatomy: So how much poop is actually sitting in your colon right now? Let's put a real number on it. 💩 You've probably heard some wild claims, so here's some honest context using actual weights. Picture a 10-pound weight hanging alongside the descending and sigmoid colon on its way down to the rectum. Getting there is possible, but only in some pretty extreme cases of constipation, and only if the stool is spread out across the entire length of the colon. And even that comparison is generous, because real stool isn't nearly as dense as a solid weight. Now go further, to a 20-pound weight. At that point it becomes almost unrealistic. Feces simply doesn't pack to that kind of density, so cramming that much into the colon would be extraordinarily difficult. The takeaway? Those enormous numbers you sometimes hear get a lot less believable once you see them hanging next to the real thing. Want to understand how your body really works, system by system?

“Not a perfect comparison because stool will form differently.” Then why does it sometimes feel like that’s its exact shape moving through me?! 😂
