I don't eat animals, their by-products (unless I'm eating poutine which is once in a very blue moon b/c it's so damn good and I mindfully enjoy every bite damn run on sentence) and, as best as I can, I eat and live according to macrobiotic principles so one would think that I could shat more than I do! ;o/

See, I wouldn't.
I spent a month in the desert, at yoga teacher training. We were fed onsite, and we were all put on a vegetarian diet -- no meat, dairy, almost no gluten, no sugar, no caffeine, mostly fresh vegetables and often raw. Fruit for breakfast, lots of water (because we were in the desert.)
Nobody pooped the whole first week. We got plenty of exercise -- 9 hours of yoga a day, plus swimming in the ocean, walking meditation, and climbing the mountains in our time off.
We blamed the lack of privacy in the bathrooms, the heat, everything. But well into the second week, many of us STILL hadn't had a BM. Those who had only had one.
We finally realized that our diets were efficient & didn't contain a lot of waste, and we were actually BURNING most of the food we were eating.
After much (slightly embarassing) discussion, we realized we were all in the same boat, and that no one was having any cramping, discomfort or other symptoms. So we just relaxed & enjoyed the extra free time....LOL.
