Is there a doctor in the house?

This is probably going to be the most random and awkward thing I ever post but...

My friend swears to me that he never poops. I thought he was joking at first, but I really think he was serious. I didn't think this was possible because I read somewhere that if digested food gets backed up it could become poisonous to the body. I know he's a vegan and he eats very little, but even then you'd have to have bowel movements more frequently than at intervals of 8 months. I asked him when the last time he went was and he said about 8 months ago. I told him he should go to the doctor about it and he said "Yeah but if something bad was going to happen to me it would have happened 8 months ago." Is it possible to "sleep poop"?? You know, like sleep-walking...

My question to any of you doctors or trained medical people who know a lot about the digestive system is should I be concerned or is he just... shittin' me? I did try a quick Google search but nothing came up.

He's a Vegan? You need to introduce him to Spooky. But seriously, I'm gonna have to vote for he's shittin' ya. The digestive tract has a tendency to form adhesions if nothing passes through it to keep it open, as in roughage. I also assume that nothing has happened in his life to affect his digestive tract's peristalsis.

Off the top of my head I say he *may* have an eating disorder. I was a vegetarian (lacto, ovo) for 10 years and I did poop on a regular basis. I have known very well an anorexic and they had similiar symptoms though hardly every 8 months. No matter how well you eat there are by-products that the human body will pass through the system as indegestable. Your friend is either full of it or needs to seek medical attention. Of course I'm not a doctor, that's just my opinion.

Yes I'm with BB "if" he is eating and digesting food then he has to pass the waste. The body uses poop and urine to get ride of toxins and waste that it cant use. If he is really digesting food then he would poop and if he is not then after 8 months he would be extremely sick. Like the other said if you dont use it problems occur that can have serios consiquences, just ask Elvis. I am more on the side he is Shitting you, and I dont want to know how the conversation got on this subject.

LOL MA

Thanks for the input guys... I guess he probably is lying. But it's weird because usually I can tell when he's kidding and this time it really didn't seem like it. I'll talk to him tomorrow and encourage him again to see a doctor if he's not kidding...
