Can you eat feces to stay alive?
You can get diseases. Untreated, some of these can be fatal. Others will just make you wish you were dead. Feces are, after all, concentrated human waste -- the stuff we eat that our body can't use. If you're into this, you need to proceed with great caution, and be prepared to tell a medical professional about it when you get sick. Considering your digestive system has E. Coli in it to break down the food, would you want E. Coli in your body?
It is not okay because there is bacteria that could kill you. That would most likely make you very sick and is not a very hygienic idea. Please do not eat human feces.
How can you get rid of small cavities without drilling and fillings?
Actually, yes, there is. Most dentists won't tell you this because they make about $100 on cavity repair, but using Baking Soda+Peroxide, Anticavity toothpaste actually reverses the effects of cavities. I noticed a cavity myself on my left front tooth and used this same technique to get rid of it. My cavity became shallower, and overtime disappeared, and enamel was instantly restored to damaged parts of my tooth whre my cavity would have gotten a lot worse. It is not painless, however. The first time I tried this technique, There was severe stinging in my cavity (caused by killing off bacteria and decay), and my gums started to bleed. Beleive me, though, It's a hell of a lot better than going to the dentist.

What does it mean if you have black stools and rectal pain?
The colon is an organ of elimination. Some of the food we eat goes undigested and remains in the colon. When it stays in, it cakes up in the digestive tract. Here it festers, decays, and turns black.
Estimates by fasting experts suggest that the average person has between 5 to 35 pounds of caked up, blackened, hardened, rotting, undigested food in their colon and digestive tract.
What happens when a feces remains in the intestines for too long?
They gradually harden, because the large intestine continues to extract water from any content that it contains. There is no predetermined cut-off point, where enough moisture has been recovered.
The rectum is the exit for fecal matter, (poo) and has two muscular sphincters. One automatic and one voluntary. If your friends tend to snicker about this, you should remind them that there are MORE than 50 sphincters in the human body and one of them is the mouth. :)

Tough one. I love science but math is my arch enemy so I'll list the facts in case I forgot to carry a 1. 20-40 villi per square millimeter / 600 square feet in an adult's small intestine / 304.8 millimeter per square foot / 600 X 304.8 = 182,880 square millimeters in small intestine / 182,880 X 20 = 3,657,600 villi / 182,880 X 40 = 7,315,200 villi. THERE ARE ANYWHERE FROM 3,657,600 - 7,315,200 VILLI IN THE AVERAGE ADULT'S SMALL INTESTINE.

Why would there be mucus in a child's stool?
If you are worried take the child to a doctor with a sample of the stool. Everyone has mucus in their stool to some extent. The bowel is lined with mucous membrane which helps the passage of the stool. Sometimes it becomes excessive if there is an inflammation, or the bowel is irritated (for example by spicy food). If the child is healthy and apart from this the stools are normal and the mucus is not bloodstained, forget about it.

What mechanisms prevent gastric reflux into the esophagus when lying down or bending over?
Gastro oesophageal reflux is a condition where the acidic content of the stomach regurgitates back into the oesophagus. The distal oesophageal mucosa is non glandular in type (it is squamous epithelium), therefore, it can easily be damaged by chronic acid reflux.
To prevent this, there are several mechanisms in place:
- The lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) is tonically active but relaxes on swallowing. The tonic activity of the LOS between meals prevents reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus.
- The prominent smooth muscle of the lower oesophagus acts as a internal phincter to prevent reflux.
- The right crus of the diaphragm which surrounds the oesophagus exerts a pinch-cock like action on the oesophagus to prevent reflux (external sphincter).
- The oblique or sling fibers of the stomach wall create a flap valve that helps close off the esophagogastric junction and prevent regurgitation when intragastric pressure rises.
- Another factor that helps to prevent reflux is a valvelike mechanism of a short portion of the esophagus that extends slightly into the stomach. Increased intra-abdominal pressure caves the esophagus inward at this point. Thus, this valvelike closure of the lower esophagus helps to prevent high intra-abdominal pressure from forcing stomach contents backward into the esophagus.
