No. People have gone a long time between poops. I think the record is about
1 year in a person who wasn't sick though.

Are you saying he'll never die?

No. Just that he could live a long and healthy life without eating fiber.
The astronaunts who went to the moon ate a low-residue diet (not fiber-free,
but little fiber) because the facilities to poop were lacking (they
basically had a bag with adhesive to seal the bag to their butts). It took
more than one person to get everything to work right and took a couple of
hours. It was quite disruptive, especially considering that the cabins on
the space craft were not large. And there was no way to go in the lunar
module (although the astronaunts wear like a diaper, in case they had to go
on the moon). So decreasing the number of BMs the astronaunts had was a good
idea.

I wouldn't recommend that, though. (I mean not eating fiber -- I like the
long and healthy life part ;-) ).

The death rate is 100% among those who eat lots of fiber, and 100% among
those who very little.  Your choice.

Yes.

You will also die if you eat lots of fiber, or 'just the right amount' of
fiber.

You are going to die, I am going to die,* we're all going to die.

*Actually, I'm not going to die - I am going to be frozen. I have started
making preparations - I have a giant Zip-Loc freezer bag and I'm writing the
required nutritional information on the side... including, 'Not a
significant source of fiber.'
