How does it work that we eat few times a day, but usually we poop only once?

Is the colon somehow programmed to buffer the waste until the time is up and then dumps it all further?

Got this thought when observing my dog who eats twice a day (morning and evening) and more or less poops twice a day (morning and evening).

    Additionally “FODMAP” is a huge umbrella.

    Most people don’t have issues with every type in that umbrella. A full FODMAP diet is usually too restrictive for people to get the most out of their diet, and isn’t recommended for most. Ideally you go full FODMAP for a month, then start reintroducing foods until you know which kinds bother you.

    Sometimes it can be as simple as eliminating sugar alcohols for the lucky.
