ELI5: Would sticking a poop back in to your butt cause you to feel less hungry?
No, big guy, it would just make a mess.
See, the belly isn’t one big pocket, there’s a bunch of stuff in there. The parts that tell you if you’re hungry or not are way at the top, so putting things in your bottom isn’t going to make you less hungry, no matter how fun it is.
much science
This question is a failure of our education system.
No. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works. Are you suddenly hungry after pooping? No.
That’s actually a thing. It isn’t super common, but there’s a weird feedback that links between the gut and the brain…
Been over a decade since I read the paper on it, but it was something related to serotonin, colinerase, and another neurotransmitter I can’t remember.
The pressure in the gut being relieved makes the brain release a batch of chemicals, even for people that don’t experience the hunger surge. But for people that do, the combination and amounts are different, and set off hunger. Usually before the person is even finished, they’ll have the first sensation of hunger.
Plus, some people interpret the feeling of an empty bowel that was previously putting a good bit of pressure on as hunger, even though they aren’t the same.
No, but you can eat it, then you’d be less hungry.
The process certainly should
