DP doesn't get poo cramps

[addler]

What's wrong with him? What's wrong with his body?

I'm not the weird one, right? Most people if they eat something their body doesn't entirely agree with get a crampy-feeling until it's all out right? Mine is after anything with too much dairy or fish and chips/other greasy takeaways.

He thinks he's the normal one and I'm the odd one. But I've never heard of anyone just not having poo cramps?! Are there people who just... need to have a poo? And that's it? Every time?

As I make yet another trip to the toilet I am awash with envy. Also I should probably just stop eating chocolate.

It's you, not him.

Shit happens 💩

It’s not a topic of conversation in my house or place of work, so I don’t know if you’re the only one. I hope this thread doesn’t get infested by copraphiliacs 🤮

Erm this is not a thing I experience. Food poisoning aside there are no cramps here.

Plenty people can tolerate pretty much all food, food poisoning or massive over indulgence aside.

You're both normal.

Maybe you’ve got ibs?
I get them occasionally but my gut is buggered.

Common in my family because of IBS. But generally I would assume it normal to not get them.

It sounds like you have IBS and he doesn't.

I get them, my DP doesnt. I have IBS syptoms, he doesnt

I get 'notification' that I've eaten something my body isn't happy about, but it's more a rumbling than cramps.

What?! It actually is me?

I guess it's just what I've always known so I assumed it was normal. Its always been that way.

Oh dear, I should probably do a proper food diary. And apologise to DP

I get this plus awful colon aches afterwards recently too. I think I must have piles too as do really thin stools . Poo cramps are definitely a thing OP

If you get cramps its because something is wrong, may well be a food intolerance, constipation, IBS or diverticulitis. Poo doesn't hurt

No poo cramps here unless I've eaten something dodgy. Don't eat too much dairy or greasy takeaways and you won't get cramps 🤣

I don’t ever feel that food has disagreed with me, or get cramps unless I have a tummy bug.

No. You’re weird

DH is like you and always assumed he was normal with the cramps and frequent visits at certain times. He now knows that he actually has an underlying disorder and he is not the norm.

Outside of food poisoning, probably 3 times in my life, I've never had anything like you describe.

🤣🤣

Sorry it’s you. Getting cramps is the exception, not the rule.

I sometimes get this but very rarely, usually eating something a bit richer than I usually have in a restaurant. But if I was getting it repeatedly with the same things I’d be avoiding those things! Scampi always sent my running to the toilet so scampi and I are no longer pals.

Endometriosis.

That will do it. Otherwise, no, that's the only time I've had cramps.

Look into exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Do you have any other symptoms?

I’ve never heard of poo cramps until now much less experienced them!

This has really surprised me.

I guess because it is a topic that isn't often talked about, as a pp said, if you have nothing to compare it to and you've never known anything different it's just normal.

I didn't actually know that you could not have pain and just go a regular amount no matter what you eat, even if that sounds stupid. I can't imagine it. I'd say if I had to think about it I'm probably in some form of gastro-related pain every day.

I get horrible cramps and then suddenly need a poo but I’ve had ibs all my life and I think it’s that. I don’t think it’s normal!
