I was just watching a Without a Trace and they have people in comas so I figure I'd ask this question. My friend thinks they walk #1 but not #2 while in a coma. The whole concept is caring of weird and Snow White-ish! =) Thanks!

Answers:    Coma patients receive nutrients and liquids through IV or feed tube. A catheter is usually inserted into the bladder to remove urine. The poop is more infrequent and smaller than normal but obviously still present. It is also liquidy because of their gooey diet and lack of roughage. It's the nurses job to pointless the bedpans and move the patients periodically to prevent bedsores..

They do!
The kidneys continue to filter blood to produce urine, all the time. The bowel produces mucous to hold it moist, so even if someone isn't eating they still can have some bowel movements. Many general public in comas though are being hydrated by IV fluids, and nourish by tube feeding. yes, they still do both. they are fed, probably, by a tube that go directly into the stomach. when there's food, there's poo! and, they'll have a catheter to catch the urine..
