It's a feeling I imagine many first-time mothers have after giving birth.

lol

chart repost needed

i ate a ton of greek yogurt last night and have been drinking ton of water and eating a decent amount of fiber. i had a bunch of type ones today but they were not hard to pass, because of all the water i'm guessing. i'm drinking like a gallon+ of water a day. i drank 3 liters at work today plus a large iced coffee. i'm not even trying. hellooooo summer in florida.

I have kind of a weird poop thing happening. Sometimes my shits are regular old type 3 or 4 (or sometimes they look like 1, but like reprise said, not hard to pass at all).

but.

sometimes, seemingly randomly, I will go through days at a time where I experience a lot of cramping and lower abdominal discomfort, and when this happens my shits tend to be type 5-7. Weird thing is, they are really hard to pass, like sometimes it can take a good half hour or even longer to evacuate a small amount of liquidy poop. I have to assume this is inflammation inside my bowels like the chart says, but what could cause this? My diet is pretty steady and generally high in fiber. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, healthy fiber-rich cereals, and drink water constantly throughout the day. I haven't been able to identify any irregular food that I sometimes consume that could be causing this.

Thinking back, this has actually been something that has been occurring as long as I can remember, to the point where I don't really even think about it when it happens usually. Maybe I should ask a doctor? Or is it possible my digestive system is just really temperamental?

Sounds like bowel cancer.

you could be overdoing the fibre. I think that can cause IBS. My friend's mother ate too much fibre and ended up with IBS. Or it could be something else in your diet. Have you tried a low allergen/irritant diet, like cutting dairy?

I hate this thread and it makes me gag but I can't stop reading it. It's like the pimple popping videos.

I haven't tried cutting dairy, but that did occur to me and I have taken note that I am often fine after consuming a lot of dairy. Maybe it's too much fiber? I googled the symptoms and the most obvious answer is an IBD disorder (is that the same as IBS?). Apparently it could be something like Crohn's... Occasionally I do experience real intestinal pain and serious blockage, but usually when it happens it's mild discomfort.

IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning if they can't find anything functionally wrong with your system but you have symptoms, that's the catch-all. Irritable bowel diseases are specific bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and chron's disease


How often do you have this happen and are there any other symptoms? Nausea etc?

Throughout my teenage years I had terrible diarrhea every day after meals, usually at least twice. Not sure how I lived with it, but I was used to it and I had other bullshit happening in my life like trying not to get killed every day. So, eventually I came home at 19 years old. Around 19-20 I was tripping on LSD and someone mentioned shitting blood and I got the LSD anxiety where I thought about what my stomach issues and that I did shit blood once in a while and I said it out loud and they were like "WTF you've never gotten treatment for this????"

And that's how I got treatment for it and don't have chronic IBS symptoms anymore.

i drank three carrot smoothies and ate ten servings of humus last night.

this morning i defecated in pleasurable agony for twenty minutes.

When I had my first wisdom tooth pulled out I was on a iiquid diet and on day 5 I had to call in late for work becase I was painfully constipated. Like, super painful.

3 hours later I finally shit out a person-load of what looked liked clay, after squatting on the john like a gargoyle, feet on the seat style.

and that's my poop story!

Pls post carrot smoothie recipe in slobs thread

been back to working out daily and type 4 at least 5 days per week. type 6 and 7 once in a while if i get blasted drunk

double shit post

thinking about getting a foot-stool to help for a proper squatting position

sounds more like a stool stool

growing up, there was a foot stool in my grandparents bathroom that had painted on it, "if you sprinkle while you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie"

in reality it should have said "jiggle the handle to stop the water from flowing" that would have been more helpful of a reminder.

:rofl:

it makes me irrationally angry when people have stupid cutesy poems or inspirational quotes and shit like that in their bathrooms

i never understood people who take like 40 minutes to take a shit, bringing in newpapers, ipads and crosswords with them.

i get things done and i get the fuck outta there.

you've never been married i take it :jimmy:

I'm a very slow shitter, but I don't take reading material into the bathroom or anything. I find it's a good place to think about shit (including shit other than actual shit). I have a detailed plot outline for a science fiction novel which was conceived almost entirely on the toilet

it involves time travel doesn't it

do you have a working title?

I should do this but I'm always optimistic about there being more poo to come, so I have about a 10 minute wipe/addl poo window appended to each normal session

This gets me in trouble at work where there's a two stall situation. I've learned to recognize certain colors shoes means wrap it up and run, maybe start holding breath even

there is most certainly no time travel

what makes you so sure? that's not a very scientist thing to say.
