Does The Large Intestine Contain Stool All The Time?
Question: yes do a persons large colon have stool in it all the time?
Brief Answer:
NO
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
There is not always stool in the large intestine. It accumulates there and moves down into the rectum for storage and evacuation. If stool should always be in the colons, there could be a problem with motility because the tendency of the intestines is to move everything further down to the outside. Did anyone suggest there is always food in your intestines?
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Brief Answer:
If you don't eat, you will not get any stool!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for this follow up questions.
We only get to stool when we eat. If you have failed to eat, then I will say go ahead and eat and this explains why there is no stool in the colon. Eating food rich in fibers, vegetables etc will help produce bulk and allow for enough stool to be formed in the intestines.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more help.

Yes it dose help me, I just don't understand why I feel hungry 30 min, after I eat no mater how much I eat.
What kind of a safe solution can I make for getting the block out when I do have stool in lower colon, & feels like I need to have a bowel movement? I have been using filtered water, is this OK?

Filtered wate is okay!
