needs pictures. —Preceding awesome comment added by Defication (talk • contribs) 18:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC) Agreed![reply]

You want me to take a picture of my toddlers poo after eating a lot of cashews ? ;) ?85.176.108.103 (talk) 11:50, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

units

0.3 (g/kg)/day has dimensions of TIME^-1. Unlikely measurement unit. 93.97.25.15 (talk) 21:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's correct, but for it to make a lot of sense you have to understand that (g/kg) is a common abbreviation for 'grams of substance per kilogram of body mass (of person ingesting the substance)'. [EDIT: I guess in this case it's "person excreting the substance".] 66.93.61.233 (talk) 17:44, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is it grams per kilogram of bodymass, or, is it grams per kilogram of feces? 0.3g * (let's say) 50kg = 15g of fat. Yeah? Or is it more like 0.3g * (let's say) 1kg = 0.3g of fat. Yeah? 198.49.180.40 (talk) 03:14, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grey/Pale

Feces are grey/pale due to the absence of a bilirubin derivative (stercobilin), not bile acids, per se. The absence of bile salts is commonly associated with the absence of bilirubin, but this needs to be cleared up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.184.2.1 (talk) 03:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Bowel movements become YELLOW, foul-smelling, and float because they contain undigested fat." (Ref: Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide, 1999, section: Chronic Pancreatitis, page 769.) In the same reference material (Celiac disease, page 775) is a description "..bulky, light tan or gray, frothy, rancid-smelling, and tend to adhere to the toilet bowl. The stickiness is due to the high fat content." I am posting because I think it is inadequate to not describe the possibility for yellow/gold stools containing undigested fats. Thank you.

Party Catering

I don't believe that the party catering comment, which is trivia regarding the fish itself, is appropriate to appear in this article. -Andy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.187.175 (talk) 14:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Foul smelling"

It may seem like this quotation was a prank - but it's a known medical fact. It's true, and it's because of the presence of fat in stool. 129.180.1.224 (talk) 08:15, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
