My sons girlfriend is Vietnamese. She says she poops only once a week because it is normal in her culture, is this true?

She is only 19 and i suspect she is just saying this because she is embarrassed about pooping or something. Is it really a cultural thing to poop only once a week?

    I thought so too. I  cant see how my son could possibly think she is telling him the truth. SHe hasnt even farted in front of him yet and they have been dating now for two years. BTW, my grandson is not hers. SHe is a lovely girl though, but i still wonder why she thinks he would believe her on this one. hahhahaha

    I fart in front of people the first time I meet them. Good to get that right out of the way.

    I only fart in the massage room with the captive audience and then charge extra for the aromatherapy treatment.

    I'm sure that is not permitted, but I do have a darned good steamer and heater.  And roaster too.  That enhances the aroma, the heat.  Extra $$$$$


    I live on a diet of roses so my gas has this heavenly fragrance that I charge people for.

    I think it is more like a diet thing, Vegetables are mostly water. So as long as they a properly digested there will be very little poop.
    But if she eats lots of steak (or cellulose containing grains (like corn) then she is probably lying.

    You can find everything on the internet: HOW OFTEN DOES THE AVERAGE PERSON POOP?

  • One might question if it is even biologically possible.

  • Yeah, that's crap. Once a week would be a sign of severe constipation or under-eating.

    No, it isn't cultural, but it is individual....each person's body is different.  Some people do only go about once a week and others go twice a day.

    Up until 6 months ago, I could probably have answered this question immediately.  The only person I know that is Vietnamese is no longer around me because he is a former teacher in massage school.

    He lived with his wife, baby and his mom because she helped with the baby.  Very strict Vietnamese family as far as being traditional.   But I have no clue about their grocery situation. 

    I know he made and sold bath bombs if you want me to order you some.

    Oh wait.  I totally misread this question.

    OBVIOUSLY.

    I didn't see anything about poop.   I thought it said she shops for groceries once a week.

    How did I get that out of poop?


    It is not true.  No one who is healthy poops once a week unless they are a holy man who meditates as a lifestyle and eats only fruit once a day.

    No one on the planet could sustain this and live.  You would end up with a disease.  That is where the body eliminates waste.   If the waste sits too long, it rots and forms toxic waste.  

    That is just disaster waiting to happen, not to mention a lot of pain.

    I don't care if she weighs what my parakeets do.  If she has a colon and an intestinal tract, she has some marbles stuck in there that are larger than the circumference of that tube of intestine.  Therefore, she is subject to distended bowel among other horrors.  Diverticulitis anyone?  She's a walking cesspool.

    I bet she has bad fish breath too.

    A little medical knowledge can be a nauseating thing.   ;-)
