A member asked:
What happens if you havn't eaten in 4 days except from gum, is it possible to poo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Feces: If you fast, and don't eat any solid food for several days, you will still pass some stool, although it will certainly be decreased. However, fasting is not a good idea, even if associated with some kind of "cleanse". I would not recommend it. Good luck.
