Alright look, I swear I'm not just trying to be nasty. But poo always seemed to be......greasy.....to me. Shooting water at it seems equivalent to cleaning up oil with plain water - it just moves it around. Am I way off with this line of reasoning?

I'm already a vegetarian with a few cheat meals occasionally - are you thinking beef and chicken might make my logs less greasy?

[-] Kupo_Knight@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No, any high oily diet would do that veggie or not. Vegetarianism doesn't necessarily equal healthy food that's good for your gut, if your stool is genuinely greasy please examine your diet.

Apologies if this came off as attacking you I've just gotten up and could have written my initial comment to be less direct.

Yes you are, it really helps. They can spray quite hard. You will feel 1000% cleaner after.

[-] Klebbenator@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I can't really say that I've ever felt particularly "unclean" after using just TP. But I might just give this bidet thing a try. Maybe I've been missing out all this time.

Legit, if you have enough fat in your stool for it to feel greasy, that may be steatorrhea, which may be a symptom of some underlying condition.

Or, it could just be too much fat in your diet. Most of the time, that's what it is, just not being well balanced in terms of fats vs fiber and carbs. Surprisingly, vegetarians are more prone to it than meat eaters in my experience, because meat eaters tend to eat their meat with different foods than vegetarians use to keep their protein intake right. So the vegetarians end up not realizing the fats they're taking in.

Varies a good bit though since some meat eaters don't actually eat enough of the other things to keep it balanced out.

Anyway, point is that everything comes down to poo.

Poo is water soluble. It's just stomach juices with the nutrients and water sucked out of it by your intestines.
