How does it work that we eat few times a day, but usually we poop only once?

Is the colon somehow programmed to buffer the waste until the time is up and then dumps it all further?

Got this thought when observing my dog who eats twice a day (morning and evening) and more or less poops twice a day (morning and evening).

    As @Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works brought up in his comment, the FODMAP umbrella is huge and everyone is a bit different. Its a process of removing them all and then adding things back slowly and carefully, trying them multiple times to see and test your tolerances. Also, white onion and the white parts of green onions and leeks are bad, but the green parts are ok and much lower in fodmap, so you can get onion flavour other ways. Green pepper is another one that can be combined to give this flavour with a lower fodmap footprint.

      At one point I laid out the plan to isolate my trigger foods, but I’ve never been in a stable enough place that I can be picky eating. Working roasting shifts, moving around etc, makes it a pain to take care of my diet. I’m closer now to stability, but I’m going to university 30-40 hours a week and working 35-45 hours on top of that. Eating is more of a calorie thing than a thing i plan to do.
