But I poop in the late morning (serious question)

Hydrate more
Eat more fibre
Wake up earlier
Go for a walk
Drink a second cuppa

Eat more fibre, Cuba libre!

My apologize for the subject matter, but I've actually got a serious question.

By day, I work in the office (normally). Which means I tend to have a coffee in the morning.... and then commonly nature calls (#2) promptly at 11am-ish. Normally, that's not a problem at all. But once a year I go diving and 11 is smack in the middle of the dive (especially on boat charters). It is unbelievable painful to have to hold it for a couple of hours and I really don't want to be the one to clog the little boat head. Trying before you leave for the day doesn't always work because it's not "time".

Anyone deal with this and have any suggestions?

Can I ask if you are changing time zones?

Might have an impact.

Agreed… if you’re traveling by air that most definitely can have a negative impact on your normal digestive and evacuation cycle. I don’t drink alcohol when I travel and try to stay ahead of the dehydration curve of long flights.

Low residue diet.

I was wondering how often this happens (especially on boats without a head). I'm lucky it seems that my body has some ability to modifying my schedule based on my activities. When I go diving, seems everything slows down and I switch to a morning pooper?

Just one Imodium.

just can’t make this chit up!

Metamucil or miralax. Begin a couple of days before diving/traveling. Should facilitate a BM earlier in the day.

Depending on what you wear diving, a warhammer maneuver may be possible.
