I'm so proud of my poo

[Helpmechooseausername]

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!

This made me absolutely cackle with laughter 😆

Why have I just spent 10 minutes of my life chuckling over the size of peoples' shits?

Not sure if I posted this here but I was in hospital having a procedure overnight. I was given fybrogel but didn’t take it. Left hospital at lunchtime, went to Waitrose and after what seemed like 5-10 minutes a massive solid poo came out (with a bit of straining but I knew it had to exit). I think that could’ve been due to the anaesthetic I’d had or something like that. Such a relief though.

Oh, I'd forgotten about this thread ... but not the original poo that started it!

I still think of it fondly. I'd love to do another one!!

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain you did post before. Definitely memorable for you.

Definitely not what I associate with sporning despite enjoying a satisfying poo. Takes all sorts!

A little bit random…BUT this is one of the things I hate most about having an ileostomy. The feeling of being a bit bunged up & knowing that a really good poo would do the trick, & being about to do bugger all about it!! Just have to wait for nature to take its course (To add, laxatives are totally out of the question due to Crohn’s & how extensive the disease is). Just a tad envious of those of you having a really good poo!!

I purposely came looking for this thread 😂

I've got the shitting worst back pain, like a bus slammed into me, no idea why just desk strain I think. Anyway I am now on the cocodamol. I am being careful because anything with opiates instantly constipates me. I took four yesterday and this morning I needed to go to the loo.

I knew I had made a mistake in not picking up lactulose with the tablets as soon as I sat down, it was rock solid hard and not going anywhere. I have memories of being constipated in hospital, and not wasting anytime I ran the tap.

I had to use a combo of soap and water and in not too long gave birth to a snake curling round the loo.

I have now got some fybogel and hoping its effective.

Oh I bet you felt a stone lighter once you'd squeezed that out!!
Fybogel isn't instant but usually the poo that comes the next day is lovely!! Good luck!

Sorry, I’m clearly being this here but how on earth do you use soap and water if you’re constipated???? Is this some kind of manual evacuation technique? Is this standard practice I’ve never heard of?!

Home enema?

I didn’t even know such a thing was possible. I feel very sheltered!

What level of detail do you actually want? 😂

Oh God, il going to be accused of being a poo troll 🙈 I wonder whether I should just leave it to my imagination 🤣

What are the vitamins?
