The Big Poo Review

Have you ever wondered how often people poo? Or how long most people poo for? And which part of the UK farts the most? Well, now these questions – and many more – have finally been answered.

Conducted by the health science company ZOE, The Big Poo Review surveyed more than 142,000 adults across the UK. Those who took part were asked a series of questions about their toilet habits. The results were then reviewed by Dr Will Bulsiewicz, a gastroenterologist (an expert who studies and treats the human digestive system).
