Page 2 | I'm so proud of my poo

I'm so proud of my poo that I need to tell someone and just can't in real life!! So sorry if TMI, but I promise there's no photo! I get constipated sometimes and have been for the last few days. Sat on the loo for a while, nothing happened again. Then eventually I squeezed out what felt like another little brown marble.... except when I stood up and turned around there was a brown snake a full foot long in the loo!! OMG, it gave me such a fright at first! I did admire it before flushing! And I felt sooo good afterwards. I practically skipped into work, wanting to tell everyone, but obviously I didn't!

Reading this enviously. As I age, and after megatons of antibiotics, I find my poos are less and less satisfying: I'm getting less frequent, small and misshapen sausages. I've tried probiotics but they haven't seemed to make much difference. If anyone has found something that works I'd love to hear about it.

We go on a few cruises. What with all the good food and walking round exploring, from about day 2/3 we all start having some cracking poos. Easy to get out, girthy and as far as shits go, go extremely satisfying.

We call them ‘Ship Shits’ or ‘Cruise Poos’.

This is hilarious and utterly fascinating in equal measure.

Tempted to go just for the ship shits.

Psyllium fibre can help lots. Start with just a teaspoon or less in mixed into a glass of hot water. Follow with another glass of water.

I call it a Poo moon - a play on honeymoon for the glow you get after having a really good poo.

So satisfying!

Sounds like it's not just me then! To the poster who had a chemo induced 7kg poo - that's truly horrific, I'm so sorry for you! That's the weight of 2 babies!!

Constipation is awful but the relief of doing a huge poo is marvellous (especially if it doesn't hurt your bum in the process!)

I was constipated over Xmas and delighted I managed to do a poo on NYE so I didn’t bring that turd into 2026. I went to a party on NY and had to bite my tongue not to tell everyone. Luckily, I just told a couple of people.

sadly the constipation is back! But was a nice relief for the night.

I have a friend who says that there is no better feeling in the world than that of having a good shit. The joy of the act of expulsion and the after-glow of physical and mental well-being is unbeatable

I agree
i I was having this convo with my partner who thinks I’m mad

I had a poo after chemo constipation that was so big if someone had turned up with a camera I’d have put a blanket on it and had a new born photoshoot.

I hadn’t pooped in 5 weeks. It was so bad I was on the verge of being admitted to hospital for manual disimpaction. I was waiting for a bed to be available and was on the a Ute oncology unit when one of the drs gave me 2 suppositories and then told me to keep them in for an hour (practically hell on earth as by that point the weight of the poo in my gut was causing my sphincter to open on its on but it was too big and hard to go anywhere) horrific.

Then the dr told me he wanted me to get the shower head in the patient bathroom and squat in the shower with the shower head pointed on my arsehole and ‘go to town’ his words not mine. I was so embarrassed but he said that the nurses would lock the door of the bathroom after I’d left and have it cleaned so no one used my shitty shower by accident.

I had absolutely no faith it would work. It did. I gave birth essentially to 4 poos that were all the size and diameter of a Pringles tube.. the nurses needed me to put them in a bed pan to be checked ? Don’t know why! Anyway they weighed 7kg in total.

I know the chemo unit got in trouble for not checking I was prescribed laxatives when I was on 5 different anti sickness meds and chemo that causes constipation. I still hold the record for the biggest shit on the chemo assessment unit and I am weirdly happy about it 🤣🤣🤣

Omg this is amazing bet you felt like a husk after

I really did!! I even asked to weigh myself on the ward scales 🤣 it was probably the worst 48 hours I’ve ever had as I kept getting faint ? The vagus nerve can be stretched if you’re really really constipated and is the reason that sometimes you need to rip your clothes off during having a poo. That’s when I realised the lactulose I was prescribed by my GP wouldn’t cut it, as it was only at that point I realised I’d had 3 chemo cycles and no poo. I messaged my cancer nurse asking for advice and he said he I wasn’t at the hospital within the hour he’d call the police to check I was ok.

Really really bad constipation (like I had) can and does result in you vomiting up poo and all sorts of vile things. Very happy to say that I now poo every day!

FatFilledTrottyPuss · 16/01/2026 23:23

I actually phoned my best friend from the toilet at work one day because I’d had a surprise poo and it was such a beauty. I’d not had a poo for a few days which is normal for me and I really wasn’t expecting it to happen so it was glorious and I had to share my joy.
Best friend does not do public pooing and had to do a 45 minute round trip home from work to do a poo one day herself. My friends and I talk about poos a lot! 😳

MrsPositivity1 · 16/01/2026 23:31

That empty feeling - nothing beats it. I also keep clenching my cheeks together after too

I feel you. After suffering from ibs and all the wrong poos since my childhood, I have finally found something that works. Someone got me a vitamin and supplement set for Christmas. I’ve always been skeptical but rather than let money go to waste I have been sticking to it and omg now I know what it finally feels like to poo like a normal person. Each poo I look at proudly before flushing. Im doing dry Jan at the same time so im sure that’s helping but whatever diet I have been on in the past my digestive system has never felt this good.

Would you mind sharing your supplement please?

Omg yes! We call them cruise poos too. They are absolutely the best! And the way the toilets on the ships whisk them away so violently is epic 🤣

MrsMoastyToasty · 17/01/2026 23:21

The only thing I miss about periods is the "period poo". The biggest poo of the month would herald the start of my period in the coming hours.

ColitisSucks · 18/01/2026 21:09

I miss having a good poo. I have no large intestine, I'm never going to have a formed poo again.

All this talk of footlongs has put me right off going to Subway for my lunch tomorrow.

DD6 does the biggest poo’s I’ve ever seen! Literally the size of my forearm - I dont know how she does it!

DGD is three and happily passes turds that would make my eyes water 🤷‍♀️

I unexpectedly stayed overnight in hospital after a minor operation. I was given lactulose or something similar but didn’t take it. That same day I was out and went to a Waitrose which had toilets. I suddenly got the urge to poo and I squeezed out a large poo but it seemed to take ages as I was constipated. The relief after that was amazing. I felt purged in a good way.
