I am utterly mortified, but if you like scatological humour you may find this funny (I don’t!) I also need low carb advice!

Not the poo troll!!But name changed (for extremely obvious reasons)!

I’ve had really bad stomach cramps for the last couple of days.
I’ve been low carbing all week after being away with work and eating lots of crap and drinking lots of wine. It works, I stay slimmish by doing this but I have lately been eating a lot of quorn,which I think is the cause.

I don’t think it agrees with me, at least not in large amounts!

I was in the middle of a ‘phone call (thankfully not important!) earlier today and made my excuses and hung up, to rush to the loo, one of those 3 second warning things was about to occur.

My friend is staying and I didn’t want her to hear anything (she was downstairs) so I decided to put the shower on first. As I put the shower on, it disattached itself from the hook and jumped off, spraying me full on in the face with water, which it did again as I tried to catch it. Repeat X 3 and I managed to get it but I simultaneously shit myself.

I had my bum clamped together, and was wearing baggy trousers. Luckily none of it went on my trousers, I tiptoe-ran to the loo and pulled them down and it was all down my inner thighs. I had no idea how to clean myself up. I used so much loo roll I thought I’d cause a blockage and was preying I hadn’t!

This is the first time I’ve crapped myself as an adult.

Does it happen to us all? Is it some sort of right of passage?

Low carbers-please tell me where I am going wrong?

Does quorn do this!?
Why?!
Wonder what I can have instead (vegetarian)?

I definitely can’t tell anyone in real life.

I am going to the pub for a few wines later and am terrified it might slip out, though!

No idea what might slip out but this made me laugh!

The only time I had this when low carbing was when I had a whole pack of those horrible fake noodles things.

The whole lot went in and came straight back out within the half hour accompanied by the worst stomach cramps.

I had to wear a nappy to drive the school run 😩

I think Quorn is a vile invention - it's basically a fungus that's grown from soil - so it wouldn't surprise me if it's not helping.

But it's also likely to have been caused by a bigger intake of sugar, aka carbs!

sluj · 12/11/2021 17:52

Sorry, I couldn't help laughing 😆
I am allergic to Quorn and it makes me sick very quickly. It wouldn't surprise me if this isn't down to the Quorn too. Google it, you'd be amazed at how many people have a bad reaction to Quorn.
I mistakenly thought it was a fungus like mushroom but it seems to be more like mould spores

I hadn't had any sugar?

I showered myself afterwards and the colour of the water Envy so much of it!

I didn't know my body was capable! Ugh.

Quorn (the mince specifically) makes my stomach spasm and then I get violent diarrhoea. I can't eat it which is a shame as it is a useful high protein low calorie option and I quite like it. I would never risk eating it again tho. If you Google it you'll find a lot of people can't tolerate it.

Mortifiedloostory · 12/11/2021 18:58

Thanks for all the affirmations for me about quorn! I've been eating a lot of it and not much else to be honest. It's always been okay for me before but I've not had it in large amounts.

Honestly I'm still not quite processing what's happened Grin

Omigod! Where did you find an adult sized nappy (I guess not a problem if you're very slim and can squash into a toddler size) Grin

Weirdly enough those noodles are fine for me. They're not the nicest I agree but good for low carb Stir fries.

Have you had a lot of stuff with artificial sweeteners as well? That gives me terrible stomach cramps.

Elzbells · 12/11/2021 19:02

It was a kids one, strategically placed 🤣

Pumpkinsonparade · 12/11/2021 19:03

Once ate a box of Aldi sugar free fruit drops... Honestly thought I needed to go to hospital...

Theunamedcat · 12/11/2021 19:04

Next time don't bother with the shower?

Yes its most likely excess of quorn I loved it when it first came out but I swear they have changed the recipe the stench that my butt made after two meals was eye-watering and the noises! It was rather unpleasant not as bad as the lentil crisps "incident" of 2018 but close very close!

shinynewapple21 · 12/11/2021 19:10

Have you eaten anything with artificial sweeteners so as to avoid sugar? I've had sugar free sweets before now that have given me terrible stomach cramps . I think allergy to quorn is quite common .

NigellaSeed · 12/11/2021 19:22

You say you haven't told anyone IRL. But... Your friend knows. For sure Wink

Mateypotatey · 12/11/2021 19:41

This is why sadly I can't be a low carb vegetarian as I also have ibs. Don't get me started on lentils. I shit myself on a regular basis, quite proud tbh, think it gives me character. Tofu can be OK if marinated a lot?

ImUninsultable · 12/11/2021 19:44

Why didnt you just clean yourself in the shower?
You wouldnt have got rid of the smell just wiping it all off your legs with toilet paper.

You very clearly had access to a shower!

Chunkymenrock · 12/11/2021 20:00

Oh no! Poor you! Next time, flush the toilet as you're about to start the poo. The noise will cover up any further noise!

No! Just in my coffee (which I'd just had two cups of, hmm...)..

I’m veggie and avoid quorn. What do you use quorn for? Tvp is a good alternative to mince and cheap.

RaininSummer · 12/11/2021 20:22

Yep quorn is evil unfortunately and low carbing as a veggie is very difficult.

Mortifiedloostory · 12/11/2021 20:28

I must clarify I did get straight in the shower afterwards!
I use the fillets and pieces to make chicken salads or just eat on their own as a snack.
I'll have to find a suitable alternative.
