another weird fasting poop

[Guest guest]

I went to the drugstore to get a cheap enema kit while I wait for the good

one I ordered earlier today. After reading the article posted I

realized that I should've been doing enemas since day one of my fast!

So I only got about a quart in me before I had to eliminate. It's a cheap

setup and I could only do it while sitting on the toilet. In any case, this

time the stool was the oddest shaped one I'd ever seen. If you're eating

dinner while reading this I suggest you stop now. Either eating dinner, or

reading this - one or the other. LOL

It was about a 8 inch string of mucous with disk like poop rings along it's

length. They seemed almost like accordian flaps, but not that flat. I looked

at it and hoped it wasn't indicative of the shape of my colon - pretty

scary. There was also a smallish light-colored round hard poop with it,

which reminded of my dog's stool when he consumes chicken necks. In any

case, there were a few small undigested pieces of...dunno..maybe nuts? in

the accordian section. I haven't eaten nuts in maybe a week or two.

Luckily, none of these hard things in my stool have the characteristic

tentacles of tumors so I'm not worried about that. But I find it interesting

that I'm passing undigested things that have been sitting in my intestines

for a minimum of a week, possibly longer. This doesn't speak to the crusty

colon phenomenon mentioned in another thread, but it's clear to me after

this personal experience that stuff can get stuck in intestines for some

time. Where is it when all the more recently eaten food passes it by and

gets eliminated??? In diverticuli?

Also, interestingly I felt really good after both of my eliminations today.

I felt like a weight had been lifted off me. This afternoon/evening I've had

increased energy too. Maybe 30-50% more than the first 4 days of the fast.

My only complaint is that I started to get sharp pains in my head starting

about 15 mins after doing the enema. It comes and goes.

Gosh, fasting is fun! :-/
