Erm I think I heard that the majority of poo is dead bacteria and our body holds a lot of water too so I guess it can still make its own poo even without food making up any part of it? Just a thought!

lilcrohnieUK is right I too have just read that most of a bm can be dead bacteria, I had no idea we hat that kind of bacteria by volume. Kinda creepy isn't it?
