re: How long do you spend in the bathroom to complete a bowel movement?

I don’t shite until I actually need to shite, so most of mine are done in 2-3 minutes. Washing my hands takes almost as much time as shitting for me. Everyone who spends a long time on the shitter is gonna have one hell of a case of hemorrhoids later in life…ask me how I know this!

Man, I’m enlightened reading these responses. I’ve dealt with IBS, so I’m rarely evacuated in one swoop. Sometimes it’s like water, sometimes it just piles up. My number on the chart varies.

I also can shite immediately after a meal from time to time. I mean, plate is empty and I’m heading to the bathroom.
