But I poop in the late morning (serious question)

What a crappy thread. Needs the poop emoji.

So something that I have found works quite well, is I will hit the loo first thing in the morning when I wake up and err.. 'evacuate' what wants too or is ready...even if it is almost nothing. Then I get to packing the car, etc. and also try not to eat just yet. Then I go to the loo again, and with the walking around, and that initial first wake up call, it usually does the trick. I almost feel like it's a 'hey, wake up, time to do your business just now' and then you come back again and you are sorted.

I find eating beforehand just makes the struggles worse.

This is why I wear high waist paints instead of a farmer John…..J/K!


More fiber and more water.

Maybe change what cereal you eat in the morning?

Imodium IMO is no solution. Will just result in constipation and greater irregularity. There have been a number of good suggestions in the thread already that do not require medications.

Your right! It's a bandaid...that works.

Not sure we ate the same MREs. Most vets will say it clogs you up. Rumor was that the cheese was the culprit.

Anyone deal with this and have any suggestions?

If you're diving in tropical waters, fear not. Drop off the back of the group, turn your BCD around, drop your shorts and lay what we refer to as a 'Chocolate Seahorse'.... then move on!

Of course, don't do that if you're in a dry suit or cold water.... that would not be good

My wife has the same issue. What works for her is to wake up earlier than normal to give more time. Resorts that serve breakfast at 7, then the boat loads at 8 are the worst.
