AIBU to think my 4yo DS is an anatomical anomaly?!

[Rinoachicken]

How is it biologically possible for a small child to do a poo so BIG that it won’t flush down the toilet?! No word of a lie, it is as long as his THIGH (and not much different in diameter)!!! Where in his body is he keeping it??!!! It’s not even a one off occurrence, this is a regular weekly deposit!!!!!

I am seriously considering buying a poo knife!!!

We would call the poos my DS (6) did "Elephant poos" for a while

A lucky Barry, when you wipe and there is no mess on paper first time

See, I’ve only ever heard of these as being ‘Angel Poo’

My eldest (16) and my youngest (10) both manage to do poos (daily or alternate usually) full the toilet so mind bogglingly!

Somehow my middle child doesn’t!

Still  especially at @Idontbelieveinthemoon

There was supposed to be a laughing emoji there

This has been quite a reassuring thread !

My (just turned) 4 year old boy does huge poos too. His nursery keyworker recently mentioned about how big they are which made me think it must be abnormal. My two elder children did far more proportionate ones, so I've been a bit borderline concerned.

After reading this thread, I realise that it must be quite common.

Moby Turds. Passed with pride.

I'm not proud of this. But once my flatmate was in the bathroom, and while she was in there it became clear to me that I had to shit RIGHT NOW. She wouldn't come out and I couldn't hold it any longer. I was going to shit myself. There were no other bathrooms and the garden was very overlooked.

So I did what any reasonable person would do. I shat in a shoebox. It was MASSIVE, it needed the whole length of the shoebox! I can't believe it could get out, it seemed impossible. I was disgusted, if course, but also pretty impressed that I was capable.if producing something so imposing!

It's wheatabix, I'm sure of it. The eaters of said fibrous cereal both produce dinorod requiring poo.
I'm embarrassed to call them out now it's been so many times. If one 'goes' after the other there's nothing flowing down the pipes for days until dinorod have been.
Might try the cling film flush technique though. To save me a call in the morning.

I once weighed DD before and after. Net was 1kg. She was 2 1/2 and weighed 15kg herself. Impressive proportion I thought.

Quite a bit of a poo is gut bacteria. Perhaps some people just have particularly prolific mictobiota?

Sara107 DD was a withholder. Things there really should be leaflets about at the GPs, it was miserable for us all. I had a great book that helped her, and then there's Movicol. Lots of it for as long time. If they're not pooping daily while getting that, they're still withholding, keep giving it. Hope yours gets over it soon.

I once looked after a child who did a daily enormopoo. They were the size and shape of marrows; I had to make him laugh to relax him enough to pass them (but, as I say, they were daily, so no constipation).

My DD is the same.
99.9% of the time she has nothing to wipe poops the size of her arm. We call them thunder poops.
Luckily most flush ok & the ones that don’t can usually be remedied with a double flush but I to wonder where the heck it has all come from... lol

Yes, this always used to fascinate me how my dainty toddler daughter could produce unfeasibly large toddler turds the size you expect from an adult weightlifter after a night on the scrumpy cider finished off with a dirty kebab!

flowergrrl77 we also call them Angel poos, my 6yo dainty petit daughter does stonking Angel pops and we all get called in often to admire thier size.
This thread reminds me of a date that went wrong, it still.makes me chuckle:

Don't butter-knife or stick them - cling film them! Stretch enough cling film over the bowl to create a vacuum, then flush. Providing you've actually sealed the whole bowl with several layers, the poo doesn't have any choice but to get sucked away. Here's a quick look (subtitles)

I've done it and it works.

Three culprits produce loo blockers in my house from time to time. Two 6ft plus teens and a 5ft 10 11yr old. The youngest is a “frequent flyer.” So huge that no amount of hot soapy water or buckets of cold water will shift them! I usually resort to a good dollop of hair conditioner after soaking in hot soapy water to “ease the passage,” oh and a short length of dowelling to encourage it on its way.

We meet again Mr Bond!

I almost inhaled my coffee there!

Iirc, Lucky Barries are also known as Hollywood endings.

Nodnol

I cried.

Our just turned 3yr old gd insists on sitting on her big potty for her poohs so that she can play whilst she takes her time to go! Each time she completes 'her task' she then looks at it and gives it a name! The last one she called a spikey pooh! I asked why it was called a spikey pooh, is it because its big and sticking up out the potty like a spike? She replied 'no it felt spikey coming out'. Kids! The one before was ginormous and she called it a slippery pooh.

Dear OP, this can still happen when they are nearly 16! My mum thinks it's a serious health issue. I just think it's a pain to clear it. And yes I have used a knife too.

Sooo, sorry to resurrect, but we have now adopted lucky Barry as a family terminology, supplemented a mucky Larry, which is, well, the opposite of a lucky Barry.
