Toilet

(please believe this is not trolling.)

Today, two lentil salads, one frozen banana, six slices Artisan bread. Tried to fart. Instead, defecation came out. That has happened before and I am afraid it's colorectal cancer. But I am afraid my insurance won't pay for anything, or my doctor won't order tests or prescribe medication.

Has anything like that happened to you?

What kind of excretory difficulty do have you been going through?

I'm sorry to hear about that. Those types of things suck

I have pretty horrible IBS, which has already resulted in multiple surgeries. I'm in pain a lot of the time, so I'm usually trying to modify my diet and find things that don't trigger me (even though it's pretty much everything at this point). If I don't take a whole bunch of bile acids and enzymes I get so constipated that there's like no return, lol.

Thankfully my overall health checks out, but it hurts. Sorry for the TMI, just chiming in about how those problems really suck the life out of you sometimes

Firstly, it’s a positive step that you can talk about it without embarassment. I’ve had Crohns Disease for 50 years and had so many probings and investigations that I’m completely without shame.

Of course you can look up symtoms of bowel cancer on the internet, but the first things to look out for are passing blood and unexplained weight loss. If you just have loose bowels you may have to consider if you’ve changed your diet… or even anxiety can screw your bowels up. Even a change in the weather sets me off.

Basically any unexplained (and lasting) changes could do with medical intervention… and sooner rather than later.

Best wishes and let us know how you get on.

I wouldn’t conclude it’s cancer, based on what you wrote.

What sort of insurance do you have?

That happens to me a lot.

Look for patterns involving foods.Some foods can be triggers. For me it’s anything with msg , food additives or too much dairy.

i dont think thats cancer

i have done that before . i think we all have
which is why i dont force wind out any more

In truth, some defecation always comes out when you fart. Your bowels are never truly empty, at the very least, there is mucus lining in the guts and rectum.
So fart only if you're sitting on the toilet.

might be hard for me if i get gassy at night i cant keep getting out of bed every 5 or 6 minutes to break wind

Between my house and work, there are not many toilets available, especially since Covid

The Litterbox at work only contains three toilets and two urinals. The staff only litterbox has only one toilet. Plenty of people use the litterbox. Not enough toilets for everyone. Toilets often out of order.
