WARNING: only read on if you don’t mind discussing one of our basic bodily functions!
Since I’ve switched to a vegan diet my B.M’s have changed tremendously. I was always pretty much a once a day person. And if you’re familiar with the Bristol stool chart the “consistency” pretty much encompassed the whole range but on the whole not bad. Now they’re always the same: very soft, although formed...and voluminous! Like they’re trying to climb out the bowl! (sorry). Frequently more than once a day. All this I can live with. The one element that is a little troublesome is the urgency. Finally I get to the reason I’m testing your preparedness to read a post on this subject, which I appreciate some may find distasteful. Is all of this a typical experience for someone who switches to a vegan diet?

"Sir, how often should one exonerate one's bowels?
One should never, ever interrupt one's desire to defecate. I have inquired at the Bronx and London zoos... as to the daily bowel evacuation of primates. It's not once, twice or three times, sir, but four. At the end of an average day their cages are filled... with a veritable mountain of natural health."
Yes! Very normal. Just think how slowly things used to move through your system previously! Increased fibre has a definite effect and its good for you👍🏻😁
