What causes sticky bowel movements?

meal and things will be much better. Enough soluble fiber
and you'll hardly need toilet paper at all, like yer dog.

moderately bulky turds that stick together with little
residue. Evolutionarily you're a deluxe model chimp--
bananas are also the sort of thing your digest tract was
made to most effectively handle. If you exist on fast food
and processed food, you're going to pay for it in the end.
So to speak.

If I eat a lot of McDonalds and processed foods, I hardly poop at all. I
guess that takes care of this sort of problem. Of course, I want to live
past 80, so I don't eat a lot of that crap, so I poop more.

Not really! You can be constipated and still have lots of
mess when you do go. The worst of both worlds, so to speak.
You have to be constipated to the point of passing rabbit
turds to get as little mess as you get from a proper high
soluble fiber diet, and even then (with the rabbit turd
producing diet) you get the feeling all the time that you
haven't got it all out.

Yep. As Dennis Burkitt, African doctor, used to say of
countries, "The larger the stools, the smaller the
hospitals." He was a great traveler and had an illustrated
lecture called "Stools From Around the World," which was
legendary.

peas, beans (pork and beans are a favorite), citrus fruits,
apples, raisins, bananas, etc. Dried fruit also. A
supplement called Citrucel is particularly good.
The main thing is to have some with every meal, not just at
lunch. Every time you have a meal, even if you have to carry
raisins in a bag, a fiber bar, or whatever.

Is it possible that your Mc Donald's burgers are radically different
from ours?
We have "sesame seed buns" which probably don't provide a whole heap
of fibre, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are fibre fortified like
they are thiamin fortified. On that bun, there will be a fairly fatty
beef patty, but then there will be a slab of tomato, a fair bunch of
lettuce and a few large slices of pickled beetroot. Perhaps some
onion? I can't remember.
Occasionally, within ones calorie allotment, this is not as bad as a
bag of donuts, I would have thought.

Any sugar in contact with the teeth for extended periods, or more than

Not much moisture in your insides?
How much does a bar weigh?
How many millilitres of water can it absorb?

Why? Glycerin is quickly broken down to water, carbon dioxide, and
energy.

Yep, but I would doubt that a small, water-soluble molecule like
glycerine gets far.

Look at the doses.
An average 70 kg man would be getting up to 100 g of the stuff.
If the food contains 5% glycerol, that would mean eating over 2 kg
(4.4lb) of this food stuff.

>I found a recipe for ice cream which called for 1/2 cup glycerin (about 8 oz)
Do you have 16 ounce cups? We have 8 oz cups so that would be 4 oz
with all that ice cream. I believe the above test was done with
straight glycerin orally and intravenously.
It's pretty harmless stuff, but largish doses on their own can cause
problems, much like many other things.
But the point I was trying to make in the first place was that none
got past the small intestine.

That's about 8%.
Less than many recipies call for sugar.

The dose seems to be about 80g for a 70kg person.
Athletes do all sorts of dumb things to cheat.
But I doubt they'd ingest a substance which gave them the shits
halfway through the event.
