I was 25 years old touring the UK with a couple of friends. We were in Scotland at the time famous for its pay toilets. We had just stuffed our faces at lunch and were downing pints like water, the day was going great until I felt a shift in my gut that you'd think was caused by the poles of the earth reversing, I didn't know anything could shift so drastically inside of ones gut.

I calmly got up from the table and casually but urgently strolled to the washroom where I saw a line up outside the door. I asked the guy in front of me if its the only shitter in the place and he laughed and said "yup and I wouldn't shit here if it was the last toilet on earth". I took his advice as if he knew what he was talking about and asked for an alternative. He mentioned theres a pay toilet outback thats usually pretty good. Without thinking I aimlessly made my way to the alley, I found the pay toilet and realized I had no change or small bills on me but the situation was dire. I ran back to my friends and got the appropriate change and by this time the evil was at the gates, there was no stopping it. I flew fired the coins in while unzipping, dove towards the toilet while dropping my pants. My god it was like a bomber who dropped the payload too early. I was on my way to sitting down but I was not even close to the target. I'd say it was 50 in 50 out.

The initial blast sprayed the side wall and the seat as i was sitting down. I alsmost slid right off the toilet while blasting off like a fire hydrant. What landed in the bowl glided down one side and rose right up the other, coating my ass in shit as if it was a chocolate cake getting frosted. I was in complete shock, I was in a condition that would stun the occupants of the 3rd world, and I was 30miles from the hotel. It was at this moment I noticed there was no toilet paper in this thing. No back up roles, no last square nothing. I had to macguyver my way out of this situation one way or another. By the grace of god the toilet DID flush, which then led me to realize there was a running source of water. Acting on instinct I began tugging at the water line connected to the toilet until I ripped it lose causing water to spray everywhere. I removed all my clothes which somehow dodged all the shrapnel and stuck them in a corner and began hosing myself down with this broken water line while the floor began flooding with a mixture of water and shit.

I returned to the table dripping with water, pale as a ghost and completely disheveled begging my friends to leave to but of course they wanted to get "one last pint" in before we moved on. They were asking me what happened and I just said there was a leak in the bathroom. We got out of there and as we were leaving the police had showed up apparently asking questions about the destroyed pay toilet and if anyone had seen anything. I could feel their eyes burning a hole in me as we casually walked by them leaving the establishment. I had managed to do a good enough job to clear the smell but I felt filthy. As soon as we got back to the hotel I showered and changed, tossed my old clothes in the dumpster and moved on as if nothing happened.

In order to show people what’s going on I have to yknow share a pic

When I shit it’s mostly a normal colour however there are some darker brown parts that look like it’s wet marks if that makes sense. Any ideas??

Help! I have had hard-to-wipe poop for as long as I can remember. Used to wipe myself raw sometimes. I switched to baby wipes, but jt still takes forever to clean up!

I used to suffer from a binge-eating disorder, so everyday I would have a lot of high-sugary foods. I have since recovered and recently took the steps to REALLY clean up my diet.

I eat a lot more Whole Foods, fermented foods, and drink water. However, the consistency of my poop stays the same. I am terrified to add psyllium husk to my diet, and am trying to add more fiber that will firm things up through natural foods. Please help, thank you!

Some people like trains. I like to imagine dumping a shit into my cousins face. Not because it arouses me. But because I hear a little voice saying thank you, everytime I do. On top of that I get less water splashes up my bumm hole :)

I am so disgusted. Last night I had a dream that I had to poop so bad, so I found a washroom to let it out. About half way through it I woke up to a puddle of warmth. I thought, surely this isn’t what I think it is. Well, it was. I shot up out of bed to find that I had just shit all over my bed. To be fair my stomach has not been feeling good these past few days, but never in my post-diaper toddler life, have I shit myself while sleeping. Has anyone else ever done this? To me this is fucked up, like why did I do that? Is this normal?

Took a dump twice after coffee this morning and some cup noodles. On the second, checkes my stool and found red spots on yellowish. Is it blood or the corned beef I ate last night? The night before its potatoes wirh paprika.

Is fiber pills a weight loss aid? Does more fiber intake mean I lose more weight with heavier bowel movements or what does it mean?

I do not know what’s causing this. I’ve done allergen tests they’re normal. I know I’m lactose intolerant and i don’t know if whey protein is affecting my gut.

However I can go through a month with having like a normal bowel movement then suddenly, I get soft sticky stools that are very hard to flush and also it takes me ages to like wipe. What could this be?

20 years ago I was diagnosed with crohn's spent seven months in the hospital bloated suffering dying critical intensive care for a month many test finally decision was made to remove have my colon and 14 inches of lower intestine and you send me home with what is a colostomy bag and illyostomy I found quite quickly not to roll over on your stomach and your sleep you be covered and exploding bag wow you're able to look at Bedford liquid shit the stinkiest shit you can imagine stinky enough to peel paint off walls I fought the doctors and had them do a complete reversal against their wishes and gained weight but for the last 20 years I've had four solid poops and where they the most painful thing imaginable passing I'm grateful for my diarrhea the constant cleaning of the toilet a grateful not to have a bag anymore for the burps were the worst

I saw this white thing today..

I’m a 22 year old guy and I started my new meds a few days ago. Concerta (Methylphenidate) to be precise. I get it to battle the combination of ADHD and Chronic Fatigue Disorder. It’s a known side effect to get possible stomach aches when starting it. That being said I’ve been taking my 54mg dosage doubled every day for the past week or so. And probably haven’t eaten more than a schnitzel and a cup of noodles the past week.

Since a day or two ago my poop got like, peanut butter sticky if that makes sense. It’s like trying to flush nutella to be honest. And while it weirded me out a bit, I assumed it was just a side effect of my new meds. So I wanted to wait it out, and hope it’ll get better after a few days.

Then just about an hour or two ago I saw this “worm” after getting up from the toilet. It looks like a worm to me but I honestly have no idea. Then I remembered I ate a schnitzel about 2 day’s ago aswell. It had been frozen and cooked up. But after cooking and having leftovers I left it in the fridge. (in a secure container tho) However 2 day’s after putting it in the fridge I ate it, straight out of the container without warming it up again. I assumed it’d be fine tbh

I only moved out last year so this shit is still very new to me.

For the love of god please someone tell me what the fuck is going on in my stomach. And if I should be seeking medical care. I really need the advice..

Thankyou for reading :,)

i have poop anxiety. i am constantly thinking about poop. why? dont know. i dont have a schedule for pooping, i never go at the same time every day. i dont even go every day. sometimes i do, sometimes its every other day. i know thats normal. what bothers me is that i always have to wipe so much. there is not much on the paper, barely anything, actually, but i wipe until i bleed, and then some more. i want to have a ghost poop every morning. so i take psyllium husk. that doesnt do much. i used to drink a ton of coffee every day, it had no effect on my digestion. then, suddenly, it made me poop so much, and it was messy. so that gave me coffee anxiety. now, for the past few days, coffee sometimes make me poop, sometimes it doesnt. yesterday, i had three cups, and psyllium husk the day before, still no poop. and the day before that, i had coffee, and immediately had to poop. this is so annoying! i cant plan anything, i hate pooping anywhere else but at home, because i never know how messy or clean it will be. i am rational enough, so i know that i dont have any illnesses, i just struggle so much with this poop anxiety. how do i stop this? i think about my pooping all. the. time and its making me insane!

I’m currently doing a parasite cleanse and a colon cleanse. I believe I also have liver flukes. If anyone can help me possibly identify what types of parasites I also have that would be great.

constipated for a few days and saw these white spots in my poop — saw someone mention it may be an issue with my kidneys?

Had food poisoning on Friday and pooped a little on Sunday (darker with the same sparse spots). Just went today and had the same. Not hard to pass and no pain, just a little more effort than usual.

For context I'm a 5'6 male, 20 years old, and 113 pounds, currently work part time so I tend to get my daily exercise in NY walking and moving stuff.

I know most of you all will probably recommend that I see a doctor or go to the ER, but for my whole life especially since I was younger I'd have super big poops.

And my pooping cycle has always been ridiculously slow taking me 3 days or more to make a bowel movement. It's been like this since I was in middle school.

This has happened to me many times before, so much so that back in March I started making a poop chart to keep track of everytime I make a bowel movement and so far I've had quite a couple times where I couldn't poop for 5+ days or more, the most being 8 days.

I've never had a swelled stomach or any pain or anything like that, not even discomfort? So I'm not sure if it's normal since I read somewhere that people with low body mass do not shit as often.

The thing is I eat A LOT. Like A LOT. I may be thin and have a small frame but I do not skip out on food and eat full meals very very frequently plus a lot of junk food.

I've been taking probiotics and that seemed to quicken my poop cycle to every 2-3 days but it's back to 5 days now and tomorrow is about to be the 6th day since my last recorded bowel movement so I don't know, any tips or advice or explanation on why I have this weirdly slow cycle?? Thanks.

I take enemas for my ulcerative colitis (I was diagnosed like a week ago however I’ve been taking the medicine before hand as I had symptoms) I’m 16 years old and thing is I feel good no fatigue i follow a routine I go to the gym, I go to the toilet about 3-4 times during a day so not too much, however I usually see blood in my stool, not all the time when I go during the day, however after I use my rectal medicine in the night (I use it on my back passage) I wake up around 8 hours later to see blood in the stool almost all the time after the medicine (it’s really hard to tell how much blood comes out due to the water just being red so I know it’s blood) however during the day it varies I do not pass out blood all the time, so I’m really confused, did I have an incorrect diagnosis? is the medicine triggering it? Am I not using it the right way? I’m gonna have another appointment soon with my specialist doctor as it’s almost been 3 months on my iron tablets as passing blood over a period time made me a bit anemic but I still felt good for some reason, but does anyone have tips

had a hard stool i couldn’t push out. i had issues with constipation as a child but i haven’t had problems with pooping in a looooong time so this has been making me miserable and scared for the past few hours. this is also my first time using a suppository and my first time (that i can remember) using a laxative in general. so many new experiences today guys anyways i’m waiting for the suppository to work and i’m very scared it won’t. i guess i don’t really need advice at this point but moral support would be appreciated. a prayer circle maybe? idk

Feeling bloated, burpy or battling heartburn? Maybe you’ve noticed sulfur-smelling gas, undigested food in your stool, bad breath or even thinning hair and brittle nails. These could all point to low stomach acid, or hypochlorhydria. In this episode, we’ll dive into the root causes, how to spot the clues in your blood work, and practical steps to restore your stomach’s natural balance on The Perfect Stool Podcast with host Lindsey Parsons, EdD: https://linktr.ee/theperfectstoolpodcast

Someone please help! I have been dealing with Incomplete evacuation for 3 years. My stools are always thin, pasty, fragmented, and lots of pieces. Always hard to clean up and always left with more in my rectum stuck. I have tried all the fiber supplements and nothing helps. Citrucel, I was getting long snakes that stayed together, but then would go again a bunch of tiny pasty pieces that would trap. Eventually even the long snakes stopped. Metamucil and psyllium husk give me soft, bulky, jelly like stools that come out kinda loose/fluffy looking and still a lot of pieces. I still go again multiple more times and then it goes back to the thin/pasty incomplete pieces. Every morning (with or without a fiber supplement) I go no less than 3 times. Some days I'm going 5-10+ times a day. I don't understand why the fiber isn't bulking it up into a more singular easy to pass piece and why after my initial bm, I go again multiple times and it's always a lot of pieces. I'm so worn down going multiple times a day and starting every day like this. Currently I am taking 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk in 10ounces of water after dinner (around 530pm). That is a total of 7grams of psyllium husk.

I was in the ER a week ago for severe stomach pains and 3 days of constant diarrhea. They ran stool labs and didn’t find c-diff or anything else on the enteric panel. Do they check for round worm or tape worm?

Could this be intestinal shedding? After the diarrhea stopped I didn’t go at all for a week. I took one ducolax tiny pill last night and today pooped this. My cats did have worms recently and one does sometimes play in the bathtub.

So basically I've just jumped in the group as my partner has been having some weird fatty waxy clumps around her shit and mucous too and I've been trying to figure out what it might be for her. She's had a healing journey from something called tsw (topical steroid withdrawal)so she has very low trust in doctors (she's been neglected by them in a major way) and with the tsw throughout the last few years and untill this point we have been able to identify issues with her poo as she has previously had high fat content in it because of the steroid had caused some liver issues. That was corrected with diet. But this is something a bit different she's experiencing now.. and having got past tsw and is just healing her body now this poo has caused a bit of worry. She's has been constipated. And the stuff that she's getting out now is causing her some worry.. now the only thing I can find that resembles it was diagnosed as a candida issue. And she has had candida issues due to antibiotic use before and during her tsw journey. I'm unable to upload the photos too this for some reason though. I stumbled on the group and saw that there was decent advice on here so I thought I'd try my luck

For over 2 months once a week I get diarrhea. Cramps, crap and it’s gone. I don’t eat any different than I ever did before. Just eating what I feel like and don’t go by any weekly menu or anything. Curious what would cause this?

Its usually 2. Very recently, when I go to wipe, I can feel more in me. Then I try and poop and can't. I need to use my finger sometimes. But other times I can't fully each it enough to remove it, even with my full finger and pushing I can barely reach, so it takes a long time to get it out. Other people living with me have become extreamly annoyed with me. I eat 1-2 bananas a day and drink water intill my stomach is in pain.

So this is a standing debate we’re having. I just need to know the amount of people that wipe forwards, and the amount of people that wipe backwards. My theory is, men wipe forwards, women wipe backwards. Just need to know how correct i am😅

So I've had that for like a month and a half straight, constipation, stomach ache and pebble like hard poop. Those pebbles are mostly small but the big ones then cause the constipation. Should I go to a doctor or something? I don't want to struggle with this for the rest of my life

For the longest my bowel movements consists of pebbles instead of logs. I see a bit of mucus in my stool but no sign of blood. I know diet plays a big part and I eat lots of salad.. could that be the problem? I take miralax hoping to have a normal bowel moment but all I get a lots of small pebbles.
