If there's one place we can talk about poop, it's on the semi-colon board.

Well here goes - is it unusual or cause for concern that I've been poopin' alot during the past week or so when I consumed alot of cucumbers? I've been eating cucumber salads like mad- cukes, oill,vinegar,herbs.....it's making me nervous, like Uh Oh, the cancer is back

    Cukes have lots of water.
    Cukes increase your fiber intake & cucumbers come naturally prepackaged with extra fluid. Sounds like it is normal to me.

    Also, unless they are English cucumbers...
    There are seeds. And I know that for me, seeds in anything get me going!!!

    Pretty much anything with extra fiber and fluid is going to get you going, but actually your body will get used to it if you keep it up and your output will lessen. Now is the time to eat our fill and some of fresh blueberries too! My intestinal output is loving it :)
