Didn't see a thread specifically for this kind of stuff so use this for discussion about things relating to bathroom stuff, advice, how to better your gut, how you personally maintain a healthy gut, general frustrations if you have an unhealthy gut (IBS, Crohns, etc) and/or how you manage it, asshole insecurities, etc.

I guess to start it off, does anyone have any good recommendations for fiber supplements? And/or do probiotics actually do anything? I've been (pretty irregularly) taking psyllium husk powder but I know it won't do help at all if I don't also drink enough water. I can drink anywhere from 8-32oz a day but its pretty erratic, is it worth it to set a reminder to drink more water or should I just buy one of those giant water bottles and make it a goal to drink all of it throughout the day?

No. 112371

I use a giant water bottle that holds 120 ounces of water and highly recommend this. Keep it filled at all times and near you so you can drink the whole day.

don't take probiotics, even if people say "they work for me" probiotics are pretty dangerous, they can change your gut biome in the opposite way you want and you can end up really sick.

So I used to think I had IBS. I mean I still might have it but I think I’m just sensitive to certain food triggers and going to a gastroenterologist helped me with that. What I’ve noticed makes a big difference is my stress level.

I never thought stress levels would be related to my past issues (ulcers, gastritis, extreme constipation) until I got diagnosed with CPTSD.

The doctors explained to me that my amygdala is larger/hyper active so I get into a fight or flight mode almost daily sometimes with even small stress triggers, and that this could possibly explain why I used to have more of these issues more when I lived with my shitty family vs now (alone).

So if you have similar anxiety/stress issues it may be making your GI issues much much worse. I’ve noticed now that when I feel stressed out I tense up and even with a healthy diet I will have issues but nothing compared to from before. Meditation, centering and grounding myself has really improved my gut Heath. Crazy thing how our bodies work.

Also I’d like to add some general things that have helped me

-cut out milk and dairy besides sometimes cheese. For some reason I tolerate the thick fresh style cheeses better than sliced cheese.

-cook only in light olive oil but I still avoid extra oil in general.

-air fryer has been awesome! I can eat fries and other types of food now that I would have had to previously avoid. You don’t even need to add any oil which is great.

-avoiding red things. So tomatoes, peppers, strawberries (occasional is fine). This is something my gastroenterologist told me to do. Avoiding certain fruits like lemons, limes, mandarins, oranges, pineapples. They just hurt long term so it’s not worth it for me. If you can keep them though then it’s cool.

-adding certain fruits like papaya, watermelon, and mango to my diet has really helped me feel more regular and healthy overall.

-no coffee ever pretty much. I get my caffeine from matcha if at all. Coffee messes up my stomach sometimes. No alcohol either. I don’t really drink anyways and it just makes me feel more dehydrated which is bad anyways.

That's so crazy to think about but I'm glad you finally figured out what it actually was. I don't really have an issue with anxiety but definite issues with stress just because of work, and I'm really bad at letting myself relax. I've had issues with bleeding (mostly super light bleeding) when I go to the bathroom for a few years and hemorrhoids as well and I'm barely 20 years old and its super frustrating and I know this stuff can happen at any age but it makes me feel old and gross, and now self conscious because its resulted in a pretty sizable skin tag that I'm not sure would even be a good idea to try to get removed in the first place. I'm about this close to buying a bidet just to help minimize any unnecessary irritation.

I've never really formally asked a doctor about it all though, only my gyno as a one off "hey what's that thing on my asshole and should I be worried about it". I know I need to get it checked out by someone who actually works with that part of the body, its just a matter of finding a doctor now.

No. 112378

>>112377

Yeah it was honestly like a “wow this makes so much sense moment!” As silly as it sounds because , like you, I’m also young (early 20s) and my worst GI issues happened when I was younger than now.

Even weird things like straight up peeing myself even though I don’t have any incontinence Issues made sense! Due to anxiety, I would either pee either 24/7 or just go and not be able to hold it in. Since I’ve calmed down and gone to therapy this has stopped.

It sucks feeling old and gross like this, I really feel you. But you’re neither trust me. A lot of people struggle with these issues. I even have that skin tag like thing you mentioned due to a particularly bad case of constipation one time. I think the only way to fix it is a physician visit but I don’t really care to have a doctor look at my asshole right now unless something was seriously wrong. I asked my gyno about mine actually but she said it’s not an issue unless it’s causing pain (in my case) but it’s definitely removable but likely benign.

No. 112381

Wow, I feel like this advice would help me a lot. I have issues using the bathroom like some days I won't pee or poop and other days I'm like a race horse every other hour.
I still deal with stress and general anxiety despite having a healthy diet, little to no sugar and caffeine, and exercising and I also have CPTSD. The fight or flight mode thing is also daily for me as well so I think I'm gonna invest in an air fryer and avoid those certain foods you listed. Thank you anon!

No. 112386

>>112381

I also am the same way! Some days I pee 24/7 and horrible diarrhea and others cannot go to the bathroom at all and other days I have normal urination. I think stress is a HUGE aspect of it. At least for me, definitely and it has been a game changer to try to relax. Something that has also helped me is sleeping regularly and also taking power naps as well if I have time. I use an app for this that wakes me up in a relaxing slow way and I feel so much more calm.

The air fryer is awesome because you can cook so many things in it and it’s super easy to use. Enjoying foods you can’t normally eat is really nice, since I love fries but the oil makes me sick so now I just cut up my own potatoes and stick them in there and they come out so yummy. I’ve also made chicken in here, super toasty . I got one for 40 bucks on amazon.

I wish that it was more normal to talk about this stuff, not necessarily talking about poop at the bus stop but just being more aware of how it's normal to have gastrointestinal issues or how they happen. I get really shy even talking to a doctor, but my Asian friends just talk about their poops daily. I wish my family was more like that because everyone knows old people need to "stay regular" but nobody teaches you anything about that, your own guts are a secret to yourself until something goes wrong and you need to go see a doctor.

During a really stressful time I was having so many bowel issues I thought that I had cancer or even an anal prolapse because I just didn't know what was happening so I just cried to myself in secret until I could see a doctor. It turns out it was just temporary symptoms, I didn't even know stress could do that to you.

No. 112419

Had anal bleeding this morning after trying taking a dump and it's something that happens every few months or so. I also have this weird lumpy skin growth on my anus that connects to my labia but i'm not so sure if it's a hemorrhoid or not. From what I've researched, it's likely something that's not medical and insurance wouldn't cover its removal but it's grown pretty large over the years. How badly should I be seeing a specialist about these things?

No. 112425

>>112419

Are you sure the bleeding is just from fissures? If you have dark stool or any blood in your poo then definitely go see a doctor. If not and its a just a fleshy growth that is causing you to strain to the point of tearing then still definitely see if you can get a doctor's opinion on it. Straining will just continue to exascerbate the problem by actually causing hemheroids ontop of whatever you already have there.

No. 112429

>>112425
You're probably right that this it's an issue due to straining. I keep putting it off because it's embarrassing to me and I keep considering it a low priority issue but it might just keep getting worse if I ignore it.

I've had issues with anal fissures for a while, if it's bright red blood either in the toilet (just a small amount) or when you wipe along with a sharp splitting feeling when you go to the bathroom then that's most likely it. More fiber and water should help

Also if the skin lump just looks like a ridge of skin then that's normal, a good amount of women have that. NSFW image but if it looks like this then you have a perineal raphe and it's nothing to worry about, this happens during fetal development so it's normal for those who have it

No. 112433

>>112432
That's almost exactly what I have except that the the part on my anus that connects to the raphe is way bigger than other pics I've seen online and often gets a bit inflamed and irritated. Part of the reason why I get discouraged by seeking treatment for it is because it's generally seen as a cosmetic issue and not something that insurance covers. I'm not sure if there's a connection between that and all the general straining problems I have. Anyways, more reason to just suck it up and finally go to the doctor about it.

No. 112436

>>112433
You could also have a hemorrhoid where it connects to the anus as well but it can't hurt to ask a doc just to be sure. If you think it's a hemorrhoid pick up some prep H and up your fiber intake and that might help in the meantime, also don't spend more time on the toilet than you need to, straining and sitting too long can definitely contribute to hemorrhoids.

apologies for necro, but i suppose this relates to this thread as it's to do with assholes (insecurity i guess?). Do any anons wax/shave or generally move hair from their asses? I honestly never heard of this or thought about it until a friend of mine mentioned she shaves, and other people have mentioned getting it waxed. Is this common? Does anyone have any experience getting it done?

No. 114321

I shaved my asshole area a few times, I didn't like it. The area felt really moist and it got itchy after a while. The upkeep isn't worth it.

No. 114328

>>114291
For me it‘s the complete opposite of what >>114321 said.

I used to ignore my butthole but ever since I found out I like when my bf does stuff to my butthole, shaving it together with everything else has become mandatory. I love the smooth feeling and it’s not an effort that’s worth mentioning to me.
I also never got a moist feeling or itching. I have to admit though that this area is a lot more prone to razor burn, so that can be a problem (but I can avoid it by using coconut oil and disinfecting my razor).

For the few ppl that I’ve talked to about it, it’s 50/50. Some do it, some think it’s unnecessary.

I personally only do it because I enjoy the soft feeling of it. Never felt insecure about it or anything. Insecurity or pressure from your boyfriend/friends/media should never be the reason for you to shave. If you don’t feel comfortable, don’t do it.

No. 114339

So I'm pretty sure I have IBS (I've been exceptionally stressed lately and have alternated between mostly diarrhea or constipation the last few weeks, sometimes totally going from having diarrhea to being constipated within 24 hours, but even when not stressed I seem to do this at least a few times a month and have been having more frequent stomach pains/urgency issues than usual). Honestly I've had to sit with ice wrapped up in a towel stuck up between my ass cheeks because of how much pain going to the bathroom has caused me before, but I also now get to deal with hemorrhoids because of all of this (I'm only in my early 20s, yay me). I haven't talked to a doctor about it yet but my brother was just diagnosed with IBS so its not like it'd be unheard of in my family already.

I used to be vegan and had a really high fiber diet, I would go to the bathroom every single day at the same time like clockwork which was such a blessing, and they were normal shits too. But I also had horrible gas the whole time I was vegan, I had a steady regimen of 2 gas x every single day I had to be out for more than a few hours and had to leave school early a few times because the pain in my stomach was so bad (I didn't use the bathrooms at school).

I also have dealt with constant anal fissures (for years) that never seem to go away and seem to split open regardless of the size of the movement. Does anyone else with IBS relate to these symptoms and would a self DX be a horrible idea? Should I just switch back to a high fiber diet and see if that helps or just suck it up and go to the doctor. I just went for a throat issue a few days ago and I feel like I'd be perceived as a hypochondriac. Should I just go straight to a gastro doc?

I constantly have diarrhea (i have a healthy and balanced diet) and a lot of times it's like pooping water but it is yellow and really..bubbly? It's like a wad of spit coming out of me :( and sometimes i have what i call "ghost poops". The poops are a white color? The doctor called yesterday and said i had two liver functions that were abnormal. Today i have extreme swelling and pain in my abdomen. What does this sound like? Is this something i should be super concerned about?

No. 115772

>>115766
Extreme swelling sounds kind of abnormal but the weird poop is probably mucous that lines the bowels. Some people poop it out when they are constipated or have issues like IBS, UC or Chron’s.

Are you having your period at all too? When I have my period I usually get constipated occasionally with gas/bloating and it hurts a lot. I found out recently that certain foods really set my stomach off, like coconut water. You might want to look into FODMAP or see what things could be triggering you.

But overall the best thing is to continue seeing a doctor if it is really affecting you.

No. 115776

>>115766
Could also be low bile levels. Did the doc go into any detail about your liver function results? Sounds like something isn't letting bile flow the way it should. That can cause white and yellow feces. Bile is what gives poop its brown color, if your poop is pale, it could mean that there's an issue with bile levels which means it could be an issue with your liver, gallbladder and/or bile duct.

But it could also be food intolerances, or malabsorption, I'm not a doc. But the fact that you did have abnormal liver function tests tells me its more likely to be the former.

You need to see a gastroenterologist soon OR if the pain is getting worse OR you see your skin or eyes turning yellow, go to the ER immediately. Call a gastro soon (as in today) and make an appointment ASAP but if you notice any new symptoms, go to the hospital.

No. 115787

Yea the swelling is really squishy and makes me look like i have a fupa even tho I'm relatively thin.

I had my period two weeks ago. They've regulated (i never used to have periods..or at least barely) since i had an abortion last year, but they are also heavier, longer, and more painful. I'm seeing a nutritionist next month and I'm going to try and weed out some foods until then to see if anything is causing it.

>>115776
Hmm i don't know about low bile levels. I have lately also had bile come up my throat and shit. But what I've noticed along with the pain and the poop stuff I've been nauseous every day, have trouble regulating my temp, and see dots and overall feel like shit. Always groggy and in pain. I'm a little worried. I have no insurance at the moment and the doctor i see is at the only place in town that sees people with no insurance. I still have about 20 days until my next appt and they can't move it up. I've called the nurses station two days in a row but they're so damn busy i always get sent to voicemail. Ugh i went septic before and ugh just UGH. Sadly i can't just waltz into a hospital because as i said, no insurance…and no money.

Thanks for the information though nonnies, i will see if the swelling goes down by tonight. The pain levels are ridiculous. And btw no they didn't specify what liver functions were abnormal, they gave me the results over the phone. I've also had my gallbladder removed so really idk at this point the google results that match this don't look optimistic so ehhh. I'll try calling the clinic for the second time in an hour. Thanks again!

About a month ago? Two months ago i got out of the psych ward after swallowing 180 pills so maybe i fucked my liver up and have some sort of induced hepatitis? But it also seems similar to the endometriosis pain i had laparoscopic surgery for almost 3 years ago. Can rhat come back?

No. 115811

>>115800
I don't have endo but I think it can grow back sometimes after being removed, which could explain the pain and swelling and to some degree the diarrhea, I'm just kinda concerned about the color of it. Yellow (chronic) diarrhea alone could mean a gut issue like >>115772 said especially if it comes out greasy or mucousy, but white poops are puzzling. Also the liver is pretty resilient, one of the most resilient organs in the entire body (kinda has to be when its essentially one big filter), but I don't think a drug induced liver injury could be ruled out, at least not until you get more details on your liver function tests and see your doctor again. I really can't say.

I wish I had better answers but just make sure you're getting back all the fluids you're losing because of the diarrhea plus some and I know you don't have insurance/money but if the pain gets worse, you noticing any yellowing, or anything else concerning happens go to the hospital. Your health is way more important than any bill you might get in the future. Keep us posted anon!

Every time I’m constipated and try to poop, I have this clear liquid jelly that hangs out of my butt hole. I don’t know if this is alarming? I asked my doctor and he said it’s perfectly normal and is a sign of constipation but it still freaks me out when I seee it.

I'm a recovering anachan, 23 years old. I used to abuse laxatives in my early to mid teens and as a result (I assume?) have had severe distention since the age of 13-14. I've restricted up until recently. My stomach will literally swell to the point where I look pregnant. I also have pretty regular issues with constipation though fiber supplements have seemed to help that a bit. The distention, however, is still horrible and I was wondering if anyone shares this experience or would know how to alleviate it? I've been to doctors, but they seem to either brush it off (and say it will get better with time) or insist I take a bunch of tests I don't have the money for. Sometimes, I'll go to bed with a bloated stomach and wake up still bloated. It's incredibly frustrating.

Went to the doctor today and learned I've got my first hemorrhoid. I'm health-conscious and regular (never any straining) so I'm reeling from this a bit. I'm wondering how it happened.

This doesn't seem to be totally appropriate for the skincare thread but sort of goes between vagina/bathroom talk…My gyno says it looks like I have eczema just in the whole sort of private area and it's really uncomfortable and itchy. I'm kind of embarrassed about going to see my bf like this because I know we'll have sex but it's not like I can help this either. He doesn't seem that bothered. My main question is dealing with anal itching and irritation. It's driving me insane. I'm pretty sure it has eczema too. The vulvar is bad but seems to be sort of improving with prescription hydrocortizone. What else can I do or use? Could it be more than eczema? I've never dealt with it being this uncomfortable.

hydrocortisone is safe for use on the anal area, so use it there too. try witch hazel, it's anti-inflammatory and should help the itching calm down.

I‘m really sorry if this question is super weird but I just found out that apparently there are people that wipe their ass blindly a few times before checking if they’re actually clean and I’m genuinely baffled and feel … odd now? Because I look at the paper al throughout the wiping process? Is that weird/gross?

Like, obviously it’s not because I enjoy looking at my feces or anything. Like, I literally never thought about it at all or questioned it because it’s the way I’ve done it all my life. And now I’m like… wait, is this not normal?!

Besides, if you only check if you think you’re clean, isn’t there a chance to miss potential signs of illnesses that come with bowel movement irregularities?

I’m just so confused and it reminds me of when I found out that there are people standing up to wipe and oh lord.

No. 117946

It may seem odd but it helped me. Take a cotton round and saturate it with aloe gel and tuck it flush against your anus. Leave it there for 15 minutes and then you can throw it out, but don't wipe the remaining gel off. Just let it absorb. I did it after every time I used the bathroom, even peeing, and the pain and swelling went away almost immediately.

I don’t sit all the way back, so my crotch is almost at the front of the seat. If I bend forward a little, I can easily fit my hand behind me and ‘into the bowl’. (It’s not really inside the bowl, but slightly below seat-level.) Some people are entirely grossed out by the idea of their hand going that far down but tbh I never touched the bowl (or anything I didn’t intend to, really) in my life.
I’m also quite petite though so I can see how this would maybe not be an option for someone with a bigger bum. Just another thing I never really thought about prior to hearing about it.

Does anyone have tips on having bowel movements in the morning before work? I get the urge to go right in the morning but because I’m so dehydrated when I wake up, nothing ever comes out and I’m constipated. I usually poop immediately after work because I hold it in all day. I have the urge to go throughout the day but I refuse to sit on a public toilet. This really aggravates my constipation problem because I’m never fully evacuated.

I hate having IBS so much.
I have a very important exam coming up and I'm more worried about when/where to go to the toilet than I am about the actual test.
Today my friend drove me to uni, I got motion sickness and boom, got diarrhea. Last week it was hot, I was sweating and of course again diarrhea. On thursday I wore a skirt, meaning there was a tiny bit of pressure on my belly and it immediately triggered it again, I had to run out of class like 3 minutes after it started, so everybody probably think I'm a weirdo (and rude) now.
I get diarrhea because I am nervous and because I'm so nervous I get diarrhea, it's a vicious cicle. I wish I could leave the house without having to worry. I constantly panic and have to find a way to sneak away from friends, class, etc to find a toilet. Had it since 10 years already.
Recently I found some pills in my local drugstore, but it's so expensive, 10€ for just 1 week, I can't spend hundreds each year…

For some reason I poop regularly every day only if I have a smoke in the morning. I literally finish my cigarette and run the fuck to the toilet.
Research is not really solid on that one so I don't even know if it's a common thing. I haven't smoked for a long while and I was constantly constipated and I honestly don't want to keep smoking now that I have quit for almost half a year since if I get something like colon cancer regular pooping wouldn't be my biggest problem at all!

I have a problem I already went to the doctor for but she didn't give me any advice other than the standard water fiber exercise stuff. My stool is basically always soft, a bit too soft, sometimes the first part is hard but the rest will be soft. Problem is when I poop the soft stool is hard to pass and often comes out in small parts and I usually leave the bathroom knowing there's still some left that I couldn't get out.. it takes so long to clean and takes so many wipes because it's soft so I don't want to attempt to poop a bit like 10 times a day, how do I get all of it out..?

So I've been diagnosed with IBS by process of elimination, my bloods came back normal and nobody said anything about my stool sample. I've been getting really poorly on and off for the last couple of years (24 when it started, just turned 27). I'll have bouts where I'm unable to eat anything without losing it immediately, one way or another. It honestly feels like food poisoning when I get a flare up because of the insane nausea and retching. I used to get cramps and bloating really badly but they're secondary to the nausea and diarrhoea/occasional vomiting now. There's a loose correlation between stress and flares but sometimes it just kicks up for no reason. Raw onion makes me ill during a flare but otherwise FODMAP hasn't done much to ease my symptoms.
I guess I'm just asking for reassurance that this is standard fare for IBS and it's not something else. I can't see my doc for a while because the waiting times are insane and you can't make appointments in advance because they're so fully booked right now.

The vomiting is what stands out to me here. I had ibs flare ups from ages 20 to 30 and never experienced vomiting no matter how bad I was

Out of interest, you said you had IBS between 20 and 30, does this mean you stopped experiencing flare ups? Do you know why?

I stopped having symptoms a year ago right after I got out of an abusive relationship and once I'd moved out of a big city and to a small town. I've had generalised and social anxiety forever so anxiety was the cause of mine and I needed a huge lifestyle change more than a diet change personally

The vomiting and fever are not ibs symptoms I've ever heard of, makes you think of an immune system reaction, some autoimmune disorders cause bouts of vomiting

Nta but there’s usually no bidets in North America which sucks

After wiping until there’s no brown stains left, I use non scented soap and wash front and back. Only the outer skin at the front (never put soap inside your vag). At the back, spread cheeks apart and get the crack/hole with soap and water using your hands. I use the bathtub faucet and squat to get the most water down there (I literally put my crack in the water stream) Showers are unfortunately undetachable where I’m from but if you have a detachable showerhead aim for the lower parts of your body after lathering with soap. Idek if this is the proper way or if it’s bad for but that was the way I was taught

Sorry if this isn't super relevant to anything, but would like a little squeeze bottle of a cleanser that you could sorta spread or spray onto toilet paper be a decent idea?

I was thinking about baby wipes and flushable wipes and how they don't really break down as easily as toilet paper–which can lead to clogs–and how useful it is to feel a lot fresher when I end up not as clean as I hope to be
Would this be a good idea or would I just be a weirdo?
Like, even if I'm just carrying it in a purse

No. 125257

Sorry for grossness but in the last year or so I've started using flushable wipes (though I know they're bad) cos cleaning after I poop has gone from a 2/3 wipe job to a 10 or more wipe job… and dry paper isn't sufficient. I don't even know what the cause could be cos while I have a history of IBS I've actually found my cramps have stopped and for the first time in a long time I have a once a day routine.. it's just the clean job that leaves me feeling gross. Anyone else dealt with this?

Either don't flush them, or consider a handheld bidet. Wipe to remove bulk before using the bidet and then dry off with paper towels. A portable handheld bidet is around $10 on amazon and you can just fill it from your bathroom sink. It saves a lot of time and you'll feel so clean.

No. 125633

>>125625
I don't know of any specific educational anecdotes but I got an enema a week ago so I could try anal
It's pretty straightforward, you lie down (hopefully you have a clean rug so you're not on the cold floor), you insert the application device, and then squeeze away
The specific one I had was premixed, so there are probably cheaper ones that need a bit of work, but other than that, I would say get a pillow and bring your phone because it's not like an instant thing
I didn't actually feel the liquid going in until I was halfway done, but I'd definitely try to make sure the application device (sometimes it's just a bottle with slightly lubed tip) is inside just deep enough to where it won't spill out
But after a few minutes, and the enema you buy will probably be more specific about how long you have to wait, you should feel it coming back out
Then you just poop for 20 minutes–it's not like a constant stream, it's a lot at first and then a little bit at a time every few minutes
Stay as long as you feel comfortable, I ended up staying for 30 to 40 minutes until my body felt that I was completely empty, so definitely bring a magazine if you don't want to use your phone

Hope that was good enough

Found capsules but the description says it makes your stool softer, that only seems to make wiping worse? My issue with my stool is that even when it's soft it refuses to come out, usually I have to wait until I really have to poop and then a big part will come out but afterwards there will be some left and I can only get one really small part out every 10 minutes and with a lot of effort. I know pushing is not healthy but if I don't push I don't poop. Wiping is a pain because the stool is soft and there's still some left afterwards every time..

I have struggled with gastroparesis for years. But I am afraid to bring it up online now because every munchie is claiming it. I don't want people to think I am faking. I don't have a feeding tube. I can eat solids. I just struggle with pain and reflux. My reflux was under control and now the omeprazole doesn't work that well anymore.

Back when I was diagnosed there was almost no info online about it that I could find. Now everyone is holding up tubes and crying gastroparesis and it feels like if I ask for advice I will just be seen as a faker who hasn't aquired precious toobz yet.

I also have diverticulitis now and am having a very hard time giving up seeds. I love them. I can only partially give them up and I think it's as far as I'll go. Plus it seems like not eating seeds barely made a dent. I still feel awful.

Years ago I got a hemorrhoid from stress and straining on the rim of the anus. Throughout the years it's swelled up and deflated depending on my lifestyle but it NEVER truly goes away. A normal anus usually has many tightly coiled folds but because of the hemorrhoid one is always slightly inflated. It doesn't hurt or give me problems but it's a very big insecurity of mine.

Everybody, even doctors tells me to leave it alone and that it doesn't matter but I hate it. I want to have a normal looking butthole. Does anyone else have this? Is there any way to make this pile just go away and have the anus look like it did before?

However, it does make me self conscious in bed sometimes.
My current partner isn't into anal sex, but eventually I would like to have it and I'm nervous it's gonna hurt or swell as a result, or turn my partner off from having anal to begin with.

I brought some Preparation H, but I haven't started applying it 3 times a day yet.
If that doesn't work to get rid of it all together/keep the swelling down forever, I was considering treating myself to hemorrhoid banding, however I'm terrified of doctors and not sure I could justify a medical procedure because I don't like how my butthole looks…

I got my first in hs which was years ago, it was like a red almond took over my asshole. That one went away, thankfully. Then, not sure what the cause was, but like 2 years ago another one has returned, tho smaller. An irl friend has the same issue & tells me she can push hers back in. Tried it out & it works a bit until the next shit or whatever. I always find myself fingering my asshole real quick before sex with my bf because I’m insecure. I’m almost positive he’s aware of it due to the fact that we’re into ass stuff, but he hasn’t commented on the issue.
Lately it’s been deflated & less of an issue due to watching my diet, straining less & treating the hemmy with witch hazel.
One tip given to me by a gay friend (gay guys have the best advice on this issue I swear) is to soak a cotton ball or wipe in witch hazel & tuck in in your ass cheeks right up on the anus & let that chill for a bit. It actually has helped reduce!

I only poop every 2-3 days, it’s usually very firm and therefore I barely have to wipe.

The only downside is that I tend to get hemorrhoids, even tough I don’t even press hard and bowel movements take me about 2 minutes tops.

Now the solution to that seems to be not to constipated, duh. But the thing is that whenever I get looser stool it becomes a (literal) pain in the ass. It always feels like acidic diarrhea and I’ll need just as much paper as the other anons itt. I always read about how fiber makes your poops so easy to clean, apparently, but I just can’t relate.
I also get the same feeling >>131158 described about feeling they’re not getting everything out. Whenever my stool is a bit softer it will always feel like I’m not really done.

I don’t know how to feel about all of this.

I sympathise with anons talking about their hemorrhoids. I have them and I hate them. it's been down to my ibs and straining on the toilet and now I have these two external hemms. I know people talk about them hurting but mine never did, they just looked fucking ugly. I'm glad I have no bf because I know I'd be so ashamed of him seeing them.

I'm only really posting this because recently one of them has been bleeding. ugh it's awful. It sucks because I'll use the toilet and whatever healing the 'cut' has done since my last time is just ruined cause it's stretches the lil scab/healing open again. this is so gross, I'm sorry.

I'm going to try and up my fibre and stay away from foods I know give me ibs flareups. in the past when I've eaten well the hemms have 'deflated' so hopefully I can get there again.

I've never ever EVER had a hemorrhoid, and I'm not even super clean or anything.

My vagina does smell nasty though, I've tried doing normie hygiene for weeks but I wake up with a smelly pussy, I go to bed with a smelly pussy, I go to the shower with a smelly pussy aaannnnddd after the shower I have a smelly pussy.

i too have a smelly pussy anon. it is the bane of my life, but you are not alone. it's definitely not BV, or any other kind of infection, i've just got a smelly pussy.
my hygiene is good, too - i've tried a load of different stuff (though no douches because UK anon and I think they genuinely are pretty bad for you).
the only thing i've had moderate success with is this - keep my pubes short, wash vulva thoroughly with femfresh active wash and a fresh flannel (not just hands), blowdry area after shower on cool setting, follow up with deodorant designed for intimate areas afterwards.
i wash all my clothes and bedding with antibacterial cleaning agents on a hot wash so it's not my clothes either.
this is the only combo of things that gives me a remotely inoffensive pussy after years of trial and error - i've tried washing with mild soap and water, tried shaving/not shaving, i always wear natural fibres, i've tried changing my diet, i've been to the doctor.
my pussy just smells bad. i can smell it through my clothes after a particularly exerting day. i've never smelt anybody else's pussy though so maybe it's more about being hypersensitive? i don't know.
i DO know that i'm tired of trite advice that's like "it's a pussy, we've all got unique smells, it's not supposed to smell like a tropical paradise" - bitch i know! i just want it to stop smelling like metallic trash! thanks!

Sorry I wasn't clear, I mean eating a diet with more acidic foods. What you eat can influence the PH levels of your urine and vagina. A vagina should be slightly acidic, if it isn't too much bacteria grows and this can cause it to have a strong smell without being a full on infection.

I've also had stomach issues (IBS) throughout my life and I can tell you, multiple flushes is a lifesaver when it comes to not clogging toilets. I don't know why I didn't think of until a few years ago but basically, just flush as frequently as you can. It may be embarrassing if someone is listening at the door, I guess, but far less embarrassing than clogging a toilet with TP.

Also I bet a portable bidet would be helpful, but I've never used one myself so I don't know.

Multi flush saves my life around my period or if my IBS isn't too good. I flush after I poop and initial wipe, then clean up properly and flush again.

i think i have ibs-c or something and was previously taking senna laxatives almost every day to help me go. this went on for a month with some breaks in between. i'm a dumbass and thought that ~natural gentle relief~ meant it was just like metamucil. realized the error of my ways and stopped taking them immediately. i never gained a tolerance to them so i didn't really feel the need to slowly decrease the amount i was taking or anything like that.
now it's been almost a month since i stopped and i'm extremely fucking constipated. i'm doing everything right though. i get enough fibre, drink a fuckton of water, cardio, eat yogurt yknow shit like that. i've even tried prune juice. (and lots of coffee. and sugar free candy. etc) but none of the 'natural' methods seem to work for me.
and yes, i know i should perhaps go to a doctor in case i have some serious fuckery going on but i am absolutely not going to my doctor in the middle of a pandemic to be like yes hello i can't shit.

Hate saying this but if you're desperate to unleash a shit, sugar free multivitamin gummies had a shocking fucking effect on my normally ultra constipated bowels

Other than that I have always been insanely constipated, like could go weeks at a time without anything happening if I left it. My doctor prescribes me a ton of macrogol very regularly otherwise I'd never shit a day in my life. They're fine with me taking it long term bc shit sexual experiences make me extremely hesitant to get my ass poked by a doc to see what's going on. (It's sure as fuck not good though and I desperately need to move forward on that.) You don't want to let this go on too long anon because some day soon your stomach will go nuts like mine occasionally does and the pain for 24hours is unbearable, on par with childbirth.

Girls with a really, really hairy ass crack, how do you deal with it?

On one hand I don't really care because I can keep my ass clean without shitstains and dingleberries or wtv. On the other hand I know I have too much hair for a normal woman (even for my ethnicity) and I think I should get rid of it because it's perceived as gross.

I don't want to shave because I don't want stubble in my ass crack, but I'm ashamed of showing my butthole in order to get it lasered off. I thought of waxing myself, but I'm prone to ingrows and don't want them so near the poop chute. What to do?

No. 149069

>>149067
I view it the same way I view armpit hair..if it is totally acceptable for men to have hair there without having their hygiene constantly questioned then we should be no different. If you're keeping yourself clean I don't see the issue.

But if you want to, shaving does seem to be the only option that isn't stupidly painful. I don't even know if asshole lasering exists? I imagine the area is too senstive for lasering. But IME the issue of shaving/stubble irritation goes away after a while. Your skin becomes less sensitive after the first few shaves.

No. 149073

Just leave it anon. As long as you are clean and hygienic, what does it matter? I used to shave there then I realised I was doing it to please someone else and thinking about what they might think of it. Then I stopped caring. I also read that it can be risky shaving around your arse area because of ingrowns and the potential for shit bacteria to get into them/any grazes through wiping/general toilet activity. It can cause infections and a friend of mine ended up with an ingrown cyst growing inside of her skin and it ruptured, leaving her with a nearly 1 inch deep scar where they had to take the tissue out. It just isn't worth it. Carry on being hairy and keep clean.

I’ve been thinking about getting a portable bidet but I have questions…
I’ve never used any sort of bidet before, so please don’t judge.

So, basically, how would I use it? I’ve seen a couple of videos but all they ever say is ‘just point it at your bits and squirt and you’ll be clean!’ which … idk, I don’t feel like lightly splashing water at my asshole will really clean it all the way? Do I wipe first? But then again I’ve seen a couple of people on YT/IG who use it without any toilet paper.

I’m also kinda worried about having the water run over my vag? How would I prevent that?

No. 150404

>>150403
It depends, some people clean themselves with paper before and after. I personally go straight to the bidet and yes, it does clean everything. I don't know how portable bidets work, in my country we have bidets in every single bathroom and it's literally a tap, the water just goes up, and you can regulate how high/strong it can go and the temperature.
And to prevent the water running over your vag you have to stick your butt just a little bit, go over the tap subtly, and not go hard on the water stream (by regulating it). After that I just dry myself with paper
I hope I was able to explain myself

My personal recommendation is just to get over your embarrassment and laser it if you have the funds. Keep in mind, being especially hairy, you’ll probably have to get it done anywhere from 8-10 times to get it mostly gone forever. Also, if your hair and skin doesn’t have high contrast (light skin and dark hair), it will not be as effective.

I’ve gotten a full Brazilian laser about 6x at this point. I’m not super consistent with it, so it’s been over the course of a few years. If I let everything grow out now, it takes about 4 months to reach less than a cm in length, the hair is baby fine, and I have 1/6th of the hair I started out with. Not sure if the regrowing still happens because of my inconsistency or because of my hair color (medium-dark brown). My husband has also done the same amount of laser in the same spots, but his hair (black) literally never grows back now.

By the way, if showing the nurse your hairy butthole is the source of your embarrassment, know that you’re usually asked to shave everything as well as possible beforehand. If you miss a spot, they can usually touch it up, but they can’t laser with hair in the way.

No. 150432

>>150428
To add one other piece of advice, I would probably recommend trying to find a place that has a more medical setting vs a casual/spa setting. They may not be as trained in checking the state of your skin, and their laser machines may be weaker.

The country I live in is fairly homogenous and I generally hear good reviews about laser overall. I’m not sure if the bad reviews I see from English speaking countries are due to wider variations in skin/hair color or shittier machines. Just something to keep in mind before you drop money on it.

I have IBS and the two things that have been huge livesavers for me was cutting out dairy and eggs out of my life, and taking a prebiotic (inulin specifically) whenever my gut biome gets out a whack. The brand I use is NUE co, it's pricey but cheaper versions that actually make your IBS worst.

So I've had chronic constipation all my life, literally since I was in diapers. It sucks so bad to walk around with a bloated feeling 80% of the time. My stomach is naturally pretty flat but that's only visible the first two or three days after my last bowel movement. I can't plan outfits in advance because whether or not I feel pretty in a tight dress depends on the last time I was able to shit.
Last month I went to a sauna with a friend and I was so stressed out about whether I'd be bloated there or not, since I'd have to be naked all day. It seriously fucks with my life. Very occasionally if it's a day where I absolutely want to look and feel good I'll take laxatives the night before, but those give me stomachaches from hell for about three hours before working so that's not an ideal solution either.

I rarely see IC brought up on here, feel free to ignore me if this is too personal but you find any relation between being sexually active and your IC flaring up?

I used to think any sort of penetrative play was leading to me getting UTIs but after a while my doc actually started testing me (he used to just give out antibiotics based on symptoms before that) turned out I would have UTI symptoms but no actual infection so IC I guess. Doc was never very helpful or concerned after that. I've learned that any type of penetrative play is a massive trigger for it and that by avoiding that for prolonged periods of time my symptoms almost go away completely. Although sometimes just using tampons will give me a slight overactive bladder again (ffs lol) It's so long since I've had bad symptoms that I basically forgot about it being so bad..I got a toy lately and omg I'm suffering for it.

YES. Although it's not nearly as bad as it used to be, I just have to be dehydrated and it will come back. It also seems linked to my vulvodynia when it flares up.
Maybe it's a physical thing and penetration irritates your bladder/urethra. I think recurrent infections can give you scar tissue and hypersensitive nerves.

My poop always floats. 90% of the time and has for years. Making it incredibly hard to flush in old toilets. It also streaks the sides which is killer when im in public without a toilet brush.
I have GERDs and stomach/acid problems run in my direct family. My aunt and cousins have Celiacs and dad passed away over 10 years ago from pancreatic cancer (non alcohol or smoking related as he did neither) little seemed to be known then so i dont know if its related or not.
I brought up Celiacs when i was being diagnosed with GERDs but the doctor seemed unphased; i didnt mention the floating poop as i kinda thought it was normal until someone pointed it out (it looks flushed but later will float back up into the bowl).
I see that floating stools often mean fat malabsorbtion; which could be celiacs related. It doesnt seem to be GERD related though.

Anyone else have constant floating/oily poop that streaks the toilet constantly?

No. 161402

>>161400
My exes kid had this problem, blessed us every visit with unflushable poop lol.

He had a pretty sweet-heavy diet at the weekends (dad spoiling him during his visit) so I always just thought it was that issue of a fatty diet. I think I've only had floaters around christmas time before.. which lends itself to the sugar/fat heavy diet theory. Is your diet generally healthy though? Or are you unusually underweight indicating you're maybe not absorbing fat?

No. 161411

>>161402
I am not underweight.
I think its fairly balanced; I noticed no difference when i was purposely losing weight (via CICO) and stayed away from highly processed foods because theyre a waste of calories but i will admit i was eating a lot of Salmon which has a lot of "good" fats. I also cook regularly but i do like sweets. I dont binge eat sweets or fatty foods but i also cant say no to a few pieces of chocolate or a couple cookies. I do eat nuts as a snack often as well which are often higher fat.

I dont have a deep fryer and almost always measure out the oil i use to grease the pan when i cook meats. I also dont order fast food or take out all that often; especially compared to americans.

Just a tip for the streaks, put toilet paper in the bowl in like an X shape before you take a dump. It catches the poo and puts a barrier between it and the bowl so it doesn't leave a mess. Also helps with muffling any splashing noises. Yes I do this every time I poop, but at least I don't leave skiddies behind or make noises when I go. Can't help with the floaters though sorry!

When I was younger and struggling way worse with anxiety I would shit three times in a day. I was told I had ibs and put on meds that slow stomach spasms. A few years later I'm off meds but managing stress better and going once a day.

I've pointed out to anons before that 3 times a day is on the edge of what docs consider normal. One doc might brush you off for that, another wouldnt. Shitting that often doesn't feel great though, doesn't make plans fun or trips/stays at people's houses. Then theres the self consciousness around hygiene and intimacy. I remember it wasn't a good time

I actually learned this from another chan board a while back. It was more about sound muffling in public. The problem is a lot of old houses have really shitty plumbing and putting the toilet paper down requires flushing directly after pooping before wiping. Otherwise i risk also clogging their toilets. but still good info to share with others

I know when you google it those are the limits of what's considered normal but in reality if you lived with someone shitting 3 times every day that would stand out as them having an issue.

If it's both watery and that many times a day that's classed as diarrhea.

I had ibs for years and I would go too often for someone who didn't eat alot. That and the consistency was more like something that'd come out of a baby than a healthy adult. I maybe went 6 times a day at my absolute worst though. So that's alot to of not seen a doc about already. If you have stress related ibs then your insides are spasming too much. It causes you to go very often in smaller amounts. I haven't changed my diet but I manage stress better and now my 3/4 movements a day have reduced down to one normal sized solid movement.

The wateryness will likely concern a doc. Like you could be regularly dehydrated because of it. Which would explain you being tired. That or not absorbing nutrients. Definitely enough to warrant an appointment.

Use more tp and bunch it up into a taco shape (kek). When you wipe, put more pressure on the tips of your fingers and do a scooping motion.

Anons I knew I had some funky stuff going on with digestion because I've binge drank myself into IBS (40+IPAS weekly for years, guts are officially scrambled, my fault ikik) but I found a fuckin whole noodle after my 3rd shit this morning and now I'm wondering if I should go see a DR.

Like I knew I wasn't digesting things properly because there'd be whole bits of undigested food, but I figured if I just kept on eating healthy and didn't give in to beer temptations that I'd eventually level out. But should I go in? I've never before seen a whole entire undigested noodle just chillin in the toilet bowl. I was hoping this would fix itself with a better lifestyle but I'm wondering if my guts are too far gone with traditional clean-eating and wellness and junk.

Are you having any dark black stool? If so then go to the doctor now please.

Thanks for the speedy reply, nonnie. This made me feel a lot better and gave me a lot of answers.

The noodle makes sense now because yesterday was nothing but bone broths, coconut milk, and chicken noodle soup since I've been sick with the flu for a couple of days, so I'm definitely lacking fiber lately. I'll pick up some fiber pills and incorporate that into my diet as I start feeling well again.

And honestly I've experienced all sorts of poop colors and textures. Looks like someone threw in a handful of sand? Check. Black and tarry mounds? Check. Pale/yellow and loose? Check. The thing is that they never lasted longer than a week or two , so I never really pursued anything of it. I know that they point to signs of internal bleeding, yada yada, but I figured since it eventually stopped that it fixed itself, that things are just sucky but will eventually heal. Am I wrong in assuming that?

I'm pretty early in on my quitting/clean eating so you're right in that I probably need more time of clean eating and wellness. Of all things to scare me, that noodle definitely did a number on me this morning. Thanks again for the answers nonnie.

No worries.

Oh coconut milk is mild natural laxative so be careful and remember that for a bit until you get some fiber in you.

And black poo is really only a problem if it’s sticky dark black like tar and won’t go away for weeks combined with vomit or fever or any other crazy stuff that happens super fast.
Also, white poo is a big red flag too.

You could experiment with cutting out food groups like dairy, gluten and things like that just to be sure but most often it's ibs.

Docs will usually test for infection, recommended trying out elimination diets and if they can't find a cause they'll give you antispasmodic meds for ibs. Stress can be a huge trigger so stress management can provide a lot more relief than any meds do ime..but if you have it since childhood maybe thats not your issue. Most people with ibs do seem to either have autism or mental health issues though. They're looking into what the link there is but currently it's a frustratingly vague diagnosis to get.

I had exactly what you had.
I had to cut ALL grains, inflammatory agents (spicy, carageanan preservatives) fermenting foods (beans, any fiber).
I reduced internal inflammation with lots of tumeric (have to get USA grown, all others are from contaminated soil in Bangledesh and are biggest reason for child lead poisoning), until I could tolerate some things. My diet is caveman like, lots of simple recipes, lots of chicken, tons of the heart+brain healthy omega 3 fats from olive and coconut oil and fish(low mercury like tilapia, supplement selenium with several brazil nuts a day to avoid possible toxic build up, also salmon is loaded with healthy fat).
Seeds, nuts good in moderation. Vegetables and fruit good, don't force yourself spinach. Supplement the enzyme l-glutamine (necessary for gastrointestinal cellular repair) as well as making sure that your d3, magnesium, are good or partially supplemented.
I can tolerate some cheese, muenster is pleasant tasting imo and it is loaded with vitamin k2(mk4).
Sunbathing is great for body beyond getting d vitamin.
Potassium cannot be viably supplemented, eat vegets (potatoes are very high, but are inflammatory).
It seems strange to reduce all fiber, but what a science journal I read found was that people taken off of high fiber diets had improved digestion. It makes sense that we should not bother eating stuff we can't digest, we are not cattle so we should not eat cattle feed (like ALL grains).

No chronic sensitivity, pain, bloating, or diarhhea.
I hope this helps.

Also, speaking as a licensed pharmacy tech who was perscribed theses, IBS drugs are kinda terrible for you and ultimately won't fix the problem. You will statistically be taking them for life (reduce acids, body has to increase acids, can't stop because now problem is worse), and they are usually anticholinergics that lead to dementia later in life. Fix diet, return to caveperson foods.

This diet is cheap too.

Sure they want it clean but the pigmnet change is linked to that forbidden nature of it, it's part of the appeal for them.

Please help me anons. I frequently have shits that are too big for my butthole, causing it to tear and bleed a large amount of blood. I’m not constipated— I have regular bowel movements (Once every 2 days) and they’re not hard to pass. I eat a ton of fruits for fiber and drink a shit ton of water, have a healthy balanced diet, am not under or overweight, and don’t have any stomach troubles.
I’m really upset because it seems like as soon as it heals, I’ll have another bowel movement that rips it open again. It’s not unbearably painful but it is uncomfortable and the amount of blood is always disconcerting to see.
Does anyone have experience with this or any advice on how to help my asshole not tear? I know this sounds ridiculous but I can’t talk to anyone about this and you ladies are my only hope fml

I really just have to vent about my hemmoroids. I used to sit on the toilet for long periods of time and would strain, I've had internal hemms for years now and sometimes they make their way ouside after I've been to the toilet, I have to push them back inside (I use a finger with coconut oil on it). I've also had external ones but they're since shrunk (leaving the skin of my a-hole fleshy and weird) it honestly really gets me down and makes me feel disgusting, it looks disgusting. my diet is a lot better and I'm in and out of the bathroom very quickly these days but I really believe I've messed my asshole up for for good. the damage is done after years of poor diet and toilet habits. I feel so angry with myself for it.

I'm not sexually active but I'm dreading the first time someone sees my asshole. I don't have any desire to use my ass in a sexual way but it's going to have to be seen since it's so close to my vagina. if I clench my asshole really tightly you can barely tell there's anything wrong with it but I can't go through every sexual experience with a clenched asshole! I don't think someone would break up with me over it but it is still such a big worry for me and makes me never want to attempt a relationship because I am so self conscious about the way it looks.

I managed to figure out how to clean the mineral build up in my cruddy toilet. I dissolve it in some hot water, wait for it to cool as I empty the toilet, then I pour the solution into my toilet and leave it for an hour or two, when i check back it looks like it's fizzing and the water becomes cloudy, I give it a good scrub with a sponge then flush and it's as good as new. Seriously try this nonnies if you're starting to get bothered by the stains at the very bottom of your toilet that have accumulated because you got too lazy to empty your toilet bowl at least once a month when you use a standard cleaner. I feel so much pride shitting in a clean toilet.

I tried:
- baking soda + vinegar several times, it helped only a little bit at first
- standard toilet cleaners
- bleach
- pumice stones

I was really at my wits end trying all the hacks I looked for online and this is the only one that fixed it.

What's the best course of action when your butt is bleeding due to too much/hard wiping (and maybe?? too dry skin in that area)? So far I've always switched to wet wipes when it happened, and then rather patted the area instead of wiped until there's less blood. In the end there's still a bit, but I figured doing more than that would make the bleeding worse again, so I just get up and sit down carefully for the next few hours and wipe really gentle for the next or so day. pls tell me if this is alright, i don't wanna die of butt blood poisoning

You'll be okay. Get a Brondell gospa from Amazon and use that after the initial wipe then dry yourself. Much less friction than wet wipes, andthey cost like $11.

I had stress induced hemorrhoids when I was a teenager, and my doctor told me to use witch hazel (which can be found at really any pharmacy) and put it on toilet paper before wiping. Be careful not to use too much/soak your skin though, it is astringent so can mess with pH if overdone. Best of luck!

It probably has to do with the fact I'm extremely sedentary and don't eat a lot to begin with. I used to be underweight (not anachan, been like this since I was a kid) so I imagine this also factors it?

Anyway, exercising also helps, I noticed I get the most bowel movements when I'm regularly exercising, but I guess keeping this routine is the hardest part when you're used to not moving at all. Haven't exercised in months now.

Is it normal to shit literally every single day and for most of the shits to be pebble sized? It's also more difficult to push it out. This only started happening in the past 2 months even though I didn't change my diet and have always drank tons of water, before I only shat once a week. And on the rare occasion I get a normal/bigger sized shit I still have to take another one the next day or sometimes after several hours. Before if I took a shit that big I'd mostly be empty enough to not go for a few days. Ironically my once-a-week shits, though also unhealthy, felt way more comfortable than this newer kind.

Don't stick stuff in your ears and yada yada yada, but when you clean your ears with q-tips, are you supposed keep going until the cotton part comes out clean or do you accept a 'good enough'? I used to always do the former until I pushed some ear wax into my ear canal and had to get it taken out at the doctor. Since then I always do the latter (after removing most wax with a wet rag first) because I'm too scared to push it in too far again, but it honestly never gets really clean, and now I'm wondering if that's just how it's supposed to be.

Dae has difficulty holding in gas?

Never had childbirth or any other trauma but I've literally always had this. It feels completely random to me, sometimes I can keep it in, sometimes I cannot even if I clench like a mofo. It's more difficult to hold in when I'm walking or standing. I can hold back poop just fine (in fact, I always have to strain a bit when I go). It seems mysterious to me that the same muscle controls poop and gas, it doesn't feel that way.

I went to a doctor with this problem once, she put a finger in, told me to clench, I did, then she told me that my sphincter muscles are perfectly fine and it's the volume of the gas that might the problem and I should look into diets. But I'm not sure. Sometimes I can feel random small bubbles of gas just slipping out when I'm just standing or sitting.

Related question: when you hold gas in, do you just clench the same muscle you would when you're holding back to pee or do you also clench your surrounding muscles (like the butt muscles/cheeks)?

I can clench my urethra, vag and butt sphincters semi independently of each other, although there's always some overlap. I don't use other butt cheek muscles no.
Both constipation and leaking farts are symptoms of a weak pelvic floor, so you could look more into it.
I found something called a Kegel8 Biofeedback Trainer which is supposed to be for your vag but I guess you could use it for this. When you squeeze, it shows you on your phone what you're doing on like a graph, so you can learn better brain - muscle connections.

Yeah, it seems healthy to have wax in the ears for protection, just like having boogers protects our noses. A few months ago I had my ear wax sucked out and I had uncomfortably sensitive hearing for weeks and it's still harsh for me now. I believe a surface clean is enough for most people.

I know a lot of people drink coffee for a laxative effect but I don't really like it (only drink it at cafés sometimes, never at home), and I can't see that being healthy for this type of constipation anyway - it's a known side effect of the medicine. ugh.

Why do I poop everything all at once?
This is the cycle:
Have to poop
>It starts out a little bit of a hard to pass poop but nothing too crazy. Get out and feel ok
>Twenty minutes later I still have poop left and have to poop again, this time it is a very good normal healthy long soft poop
>twenty minutes later, still need to poop yet again. It’s still got a good texture but my tummy is starting to feel weird
>twenty minutes later I have to shit again and now it’s straight diarrhea

Then if I have to poop later that day or the next it’s also diarrhea.
THEN- most importantly- my stomach really hurts during this time. It hurts for days and I take ibuprofen to make it stop.

Finally, I don’t poop for a few days as my colon fills up again. It’s like I only have the urge to poop when I’m full of poop and it hurts me to poop it all out at once and why do I get diarrhea?? Like that poo wasn’t ready, why couldn’t it have stayed in my booty and brewed more?

It doesn't happen every time I poop, and I can't really figure out why it happens some times but not others. The only thing I've noticed is that it almost always only happens when my poop is very hard/solid (it has happened with diarrhea, but rarely). I've been experiencing it a ton lately and have to take my phone in with me to distract me and/or poop in the dark.

I'm so scared. I had some bleeding, probably from a hemorrhoid or fissure like 2 weeks ago and my stool is like perfect picture health (it literally is just like a thick, solid tube in the shape of my colon and it comes out easily), but I keep on reopening the fissure and it hurts so bad. I dread going to the restroom and I just wish it would heal. When do I go in?

Also, like every morning, I take a massive shit that is basically everything in my colon. It doesn't hurt or make me strain. But it is a lot, so maybe that is affecting this? It's not soft or loose stool.

Get some hemorrhoid cream (some cream to numb your anus). You want to have some really soft stools so that your anus needs to stretch less so try taking some stool softeners, having a high fibre diet and drinking lots of water.
Try and not strain or stretch your anus in anyway so be careful how you sit etc.
If it still doesn't begin to heal after a week or 2 then I would go to the doctor cause sometimes medical intervention is needed for some fissures.

After getting ear wax stuck so hard in my ear that I couldn't hear anything at all I did what I heard (heh) from every side to do, and stopped using q-tips entirely and instead cleaned my ears by only using a wet rag, and only ever as far as my pinky could reach. I didn't put anything in my ears for four whole ass years, the thing that's apparently the healthiest thing for you to do to your ears, and yet I woke up with clogged ears. I didn't do anything at all, I literally woke up at like 2:48, went to pee and back to sleep, woke up again at 3:13 and suddenly couldn't hear. Asking my doctor what to do to prevent it from happening, she told me there isn't anything, I simply have to get my ears cleaned at their practice every once in a while. So thinking that doing anything and doing nothing at all seems to lead to the same issue, I figured it's smarter to use q-tips again, considering the first time I have had it happen after using them on a consistent basis for about 18 years, while the second time was then only four years later after doing nothing. I basically feel like I "unlearnt" how to clean my ears with q-tips lmao because I get panic-y thinking about putting something in there again, as even before my, let's call it trauma, I was really sensitive in regards to anything related to my hearing and ears. Now, to get to the point, or rather, tl;dr– I feel like the consistency of my ear wax changed(???) over the years. It used to be wet-ish and and a dark yellow, while nowadays it's dry, flakey and light yellow. I feel like nowadays it's harder to get it out than it used to be before I ceased to use q-tips. Would it be safer to use q-tips directly after I shower, when everything is softer, or do I run into the higher risk of it somehow balling up, or something like that, and push it in deep again, so that it'd be smarter to just fight through the discomfort when everything's dry and try to get it out before I shower?

I wouldn't recommend using q-tips to clean your ears if you have dry earwax. Q-tips really only work if you have the wet goopy kind of earwax. I use a metal earwax remover similar to the ones in picrel to clean my ears. If metal is too harsh for your ears, look for ones made from bamboo. Just be careful when cleaning your ears as the ear canal is very delicate

my doctor told me to visit a nurse to get my ears cleaned out but who really does that. my doctor used the bulb thing in picrel to flush out all the earwax and it HURT like hell but it worked. I tried doing it at home with hot water and… the water was way too hot and I burned the fuck out of my ear. don't use any crazy tools like the anon above suggested, nor the spiral-shaped sticks for earwax removal. they are a meme and they only grab the tiniest amount of wax at a time and are dangerous because you may scrape your ear canal. use a product like picrel. q-tips are probably fine just don't go jamming them in too far. I feel like if you q-tip them regularly (assuming you had them cleaned out at your doctor appt.) there will be less of a chance for giant chunks to form that could potentially be impacted by the q-tip. keep washing your outer-ish ear with soap and water, ear wax kinda just melts downwards out your ear and onto the sides of your neck over time which is why we are taught to clean behind the ears… anyways that's my novel re: nonnie's earwax

I recently have been having perfect poops again, except for a noticeable amount of slime and clayish color. They are absolutely massive, like over 5cm in circumference, probably more than 20cm long, no needing to strain, comes out in a couple seconds after sitting down. It kinda scares me how much things can stretch down there and how fast. My butt doesn't hurt, at all. It does hurt when the log travels through my colon, but it stops hurting when it reaches the rectum. I'm not constipated either, I go several times per day. I easily get 35 grams of fiber a day.

I'm going through urinary incontinence now and I'm fucking mad about it. I have always been active and conscious of my pelvic floor health, I've been doing Pilates for years specifically because my female relatives have gone through prolapse and all that horrific stuff.

What could cause incontinence in someone young and healthy? Does anyone else struggle with this?

It's not like I lose control and piss myself, but a couple drops leak out almost constantly, to the point I'm wearing pantyliners daily so I don't have to change my knickers. It's so uncomfortable. I can't even sleep in the buff anymore and that's one of my simple pleasures, I hate clothes.

Combine that with an overactive bladder, some days I go from zero to desperate for a wee in seconds, every half hour, the whole day, and 4 times a night. But I think it's partly psychological because when I'm out I can go for hours without that feeling?

I've done many UTI tests and I'm clear. I've never given birth either. I don't even drink caffeine.

I don’t have a magic pill Noni, but here’s somethings that might be impacting you:
>Too weak pelvic floor
>overly tightened pelvic floor
Both can lead to issues. You’re pelvic floor should sit like a level shelf. Too lose and it tilts and can’t support your bladder, but too many kegels without proper surrounding support can over tighten the pelvic floor “tilting it” causing the same issue.
>Overall muscle tightness.
Can you sit with your legs crossed? Criss cross apple sauce?
>Do you pee in the shower?
Don’t it teaches your brain to relax your muscles to pee when it’s warm. It becomes more problematic as you get older.
>Gluteal strength is especially important to bladder health.

>all carbonated drinks and water are bad for your bladder

Quite frequently when I take a shit it hurts. At least once a weak. I feel pain pushing it out. It’s a big amount but I am never constipated. One time I saw blood on the toilet paper, I wasn’t on my period.I tought I should see a doctor or something but I searched online and I think the bleeding was because of an anal fissure and it said to just wait it out cause sometimes it happens. I never did anal never done anything to hurt my butt.But it’s been getting harder to retain my farts. It’s like I lost senses in my asshole so my biggest fear is that I’ll incontrolably fart in public. I don’t eat beans or anything that could trigger them yet it still happens and I can’t stop them.Is there anything I can do about this stuff? Have I weakend my anal muscles or something by shitting?

you may have trained yourself to feel urgent need to pee when your bladder is only a little full

No. 278634

>>278539
You may have a UTI if you feel urgency and nothing comes out for a while, even if you don't feel pain when you pee. If you don't have very much pee come out by the time you're done, or if it comes out in very small amounts over several minutes, I'd say it's almost certainly a UTI. If when you finally go a lot of pee comes out, then you should try to come up with a technique to relax your mind and body when you go, for example as a little girl something like counting sheep would help me relax enough to pee in the public toilets. If you are taking any new medications you might look into the side effects of those. But sitting on the toilet for a long time is not good for you so you really ought to take it seriously or you could have issues down the road if it keeps up for too long.

Every 7 days is impressively regular for me and Ive never had "side effects" like bloat, pain, etc from not pooping more often. Ive done all the "tips" people suggest from drinking more water, running/being more active, straight up laxatives, adding fiber, eating prunes, oatmeal, pysillium husk and probiotics. Those always help in the beginning and I can poop daily but inevitably my body gets used to it and it stops being effective.

Have you found that you shit more when you get older, or something? I’m 28 and lately it seems like I’m shitting more often than I used to. Instead of having my one daily shit I have a 2-3 per day, sometimes a couple within the span of a few hours.

Your pelvic floor is like a trampoline. It should be level and taunt to support everything. If your glutes are too weak and you overwork your pelvic floor you’ll end up over tightening your pelvic floor and “tilting the trampoline” leading to more potential issues with being able to hold your urine.
Another thing I can ask since your doctor didn’t can you sit on the ground with your back straight and butt on ground and can you sit in the butterfly position or are your thighs too tight?

I poop and clean my asshole with baby wipes until the wipes come back clean, sometimes if Im home Ill even use a mirror to double check the cleanliness. But two hours later when I pee and wipe front to back my butt has a small amount of poo back on it. Is this asshole leakage? Am I becoming incontinent? Is there something I can add to my diet to help? Also this will happen only some of the time but then I will go a week without it happening. Pls help idk if this thread gets replies anymore

Spoiler because gross TMI but if it's only a tiny bit of poop maybe there's some trace amounts getting left behind. When I wipe I use one hand to spread my cheeks so the asshole skin is fully taut, if that makes sense. I also push in a little, not actual penetration but like the first cm inside the rim to get any residue.

How do I get over my anxiety about pooping at my new bf's place?
It feels very immature to be so embarrassed about it but I am almost physically unable to take a shit in his toilet. We've known eachother for quite a while but he is an extremely clean and proper sort of person. I've never so much as noticed a fart from him, and I can't imagine him even saying the word poop, let alone bring up the subject. Meanwhile, I know for a fact that the bathroom in his house is not very well isolated and most of what happens there is audible and smellable throughout the whole place.
This has made it impossible for me to relax enough to poop there, and it's starting to become a real issue. I've always been prone to constipation and even a short period of clenching and holding it in will result in days of giant nasty farts and bloating, all the while being unable to actually go. Recently I spent 5 days at his place without pooping. By the end my midsection was painful, clearly bloated and constantly making loud noises from the gas buildup. There's no way he didn't notice anything.
And still, I cannot for the life of me manage to shit at his place. I know it's completely irrational and juvenile, but it's like there's a physical block preventing me from doing it no matter how hard I try.
As soon as I come home and can be by myself there's a full day of letting out all the gas and solids that I built up. How the fuck do I get over this??

Lmao I actually did seriously try something like that! The closest thing was an ice cream shop about a 20 minute walk away so I figured it would be a perfect solution to just go there. Well, cue to me sitting on their toilet pushing with all my might and fucking nothing. I figure I still couldn't relax enough, probably because I was putting too much pressure on myself by thinking this was my one and only chance so it had to happen. I get up in my own head too much about this stuff and it ends up sabotaging my body, I guess. Although even outside of this situation I've never been able to control the timing of when I go that precisely. I get the urge for ten minutes and if I don't go within that window I won't be able to until the next time it happens maybe half a day later.

It's not juvenile, nonny, it's millions of years of evolution telling you that taking a dump in the middle of your mate's living space during courtship is a big no-no. Your options are to either eat a bunch of cherries and paint his toilet or plan around it until you can relax enough at his place to poop there. You're not going to "get over it" in the sense of just mentally not caring anymore, you pretty much have to force it every time.

Last month I didn't shit for 3 weeks kek, I've always been irregular but that was a new record. Weirdly I had zero symptoms like bloating or stomach pain the whole time, which felt almost impossible given I was eating normally. I just never felt the urge to go and couldn't force it either, it was really starting to stress me out by the end but eventually it just sorted itself out and I could finally shit again. In your case though I would consider going to a doctor since laxatives aren't working. Also it sounds obvious but make sure to drink plenty of water, I'm pretty certain my whole situation happened because I was barely drinking anything.

I posted about this a bit in /ot/, I had food poisoning, got super dehydrated from diarrhea and after I went to the ER I didn’t poop for almost a week. It was really annoying that the liquid magnesium is recalled everywhere, because that seems to be the go-to for severe constipation. In the evening of day 5 I wound up swallowing a tablespoon of olive oil and had two servings of smooth move tea (it’s senna, which apparently is not good for you, but I used it because this was an emergency). In the morning I had cramps but couldn’t contract enough to poo, so I had another tablespoon of olive oil. That did it. I knew I still had more to poop so I had black coffee and a banana for breakfast, and then I sat on the toilet and pooped a few more times.

Yeah, betting that's a fetish poster. I'd be panicking if I had constipation that bad, and I had (TMI but) low-grade chronic constipation for years which caused numerous um, fissures in my butthole, basically when the stool is too hard and gives you a cut there.

Mostly cutting out dairy and eating more spicy food fixed it, softening things down there basically.

Bumping this thread because I need help with my itchy ass!! I have either hemorrhoids or an anal fissure, I'm not 100% but I think it's the latter because when I look in the mirror there are long red lines that look like blood vessels going from my anus up my perineum. They aren't open skin though so idk.
Whatever it is, it's healed enough so it doesn't hurt or bleed when I poop anymore, but it still itches so bad that despite all of my inhibition I still end up scratching my butt with a piece of toilet paper until it's raw again because I can't fucking stand it. I've been using prep H which helped with the pain and itching for a bit but now does nothing for the itch and almost feels like it's making it worse. I tried that chinese mayinglong ointment that apparently heals hemorrhoids really quick but I had to wipe it off because it started itching after like 10 minutes(also it smells like fucking mold). Lately I've been using cerave diaper rash cream(externally) and it is kind of helping but even after applying it still itches a bit. It's not noticeable when I'm on my feet during the day, but very noticeable when I'm lying in bed at night for some reason.

i am in burgerland right now and i suspect i've gotten my first UTI. i had the symptoms of busting to go but a tiny bit coming out but getting no relief. then i went out and used a public bathroom and ripped some loud farts that echoed through the (thankfully) empty bathroom. i think i saw some blobs of blood in the urine but i honestly thought it was because of the loud fucking farts i probably pooped out some blood vessels or it was something like uterine lining. i would've paid more attention had i looked up the symptoms before going to the bathroom.
on that note, i'm not used to how big your public toilets can be. next time i'll need to learn how to seal in my fart sounds with my butt and thighs. it's going to be a pretty mean feat, and i'm a big girl.
my farts didn't stink thankfully, they were most likely a product of eating way too much trail mix. god bless your fucking country for putting a sprinkle of mnms in mostly cheap ass peanuts and pretending it's healthy. maybe i won't have issues soundproofing the public toilet if i keep eating trail mix.
also i have no insurance here which i thought wasn't a big deal initially. online i found out about uti test strips and found a service (hellowisp in case anyone needs it) that would send me some antibiotics for $65 which is probably the best deal can get. but i only tested positive for leukocytes twice and no nitrites? i did another test and got the same results, i'm planning to try again in the morning. i ordered some UTI strips from amazon that also test for other things and are WAY cheaper than AZO. hopefully they give me a clearer picture - i just want confirmation that i definitely have a UTI so i can get these overpriced antibiotics.
anyway, my symptoms have been pretty mild since yesterday. if i wake up in pain tomorrow it might not be too bad if it means i test positive on the final AZO test strip.

As a dumbass who has lacerated my own haemorrhoids out of frustration, I'd say it depends on the size. If it's freakishly big then don't, but if it's normal size and just bugging you it's actually not that bad to deal with it yourself. It's a lot of blood, even the little ones, so keep that in mind. You have to make sure you're draining it regularly and using something antibacterial to clean the area, but they heal just fine after that IME.

Does anyone else shit like…5-6 times after waking up? This isn’t even with caffeine…I read somewhere it was healthy to do all your bowel movements in the morning but idk where I read it kek. I just know that I wake up, shit, start getting ready for my work day or getting ready for the gym, shit, and I will shit four or five more times during my getting ready process. Usually it’s just normal but sometimes it’s super loose and more diarrhea-ish. If I take pre workout it will be far worse, but I do take it on days I’m planning to do more intense workouts (2.5 hour sessions of hard cardio or weights or whatever) I don’t hate it tho bc I always feel so nice and empty and not bloated!

nonnies with hemorrhoids: how did you heal them?
This is my first time and I want to cry, it doesn't hurt nor bleed nor anything, it's just there. I've been applying cream for 4 days now (and I have to do it for 10 more - 2 weeks basically) and I want to cry, I feel dirty and wet all the time.
It's around the size of a very small bean but I know it's there and I'm struggling psychologically. Do I have to get surgery? Or cream, along with diet, fibers, no strain, a lot of water (2L) work just fine?

I am so severely constipated right now and it is pure hell I'm having bowel movements but the shit I need to push out of my asshole is so massive and rock-hard and I am terrified of hemorrhoids or my anus prolapsing or an anal fissure. Just a couple of days ago the same thing happened but I managed to get it out but my asshole has been itchy afterwards so I'm paranoid I may already have hemorrhoids, but this time it's even more excruciating and I have no idea what to do right now my stool softener doesn't work for shit and never has I've been chugging water and that triggers bowel movements but doesn't make the shit any less painful to try to get out of my ass. I'm kind f panicking right now idk if it's even a medical emergency or if I just need to get enema from a pharmacy or smth but it's late at night and nothing is open and I'm scared of leaving it in for longer.

Cut the laxatives forever, come on now you know better. Drink more water. Sit through the bloating for three or four weeks so your guts have time to adjust and fix themselves, they need to grow the right bacteria for what you’re eating. If you keep using laxatives you’re just resetting the process constantly, stop it. Eat some kimchi.
I’m not sure what you did to yourself before but imagine it’s like you took antibiotics (if you’ve ever done that) and this is just normal gut recovery from getting all your good bacteria killed.

Samefag. Spent about five hours in the ER, most of it waiting between procedures. They checked my blood, examined me, asked me questions, did an ultrasound on my digestive system and a rectal test to find some of the remaining black stool I had from yesterday's number two (wasn't pleasant but at least I didn't have to go through an endoscopy or colonoscopy).
The blood test and ultrasound didn't show any bleeding but if I have still black stools, I have to go back to the ER and let em know.
They perfused me with a med that protects the stomach lining, and gave me a painkiller "shot" (which I was supposed to have perfused too but nobody checked on me for thirty minutes cuz it was busy today) tomorrow I go back to my GP to have that medicine prescribed, which I gotta take 30 minutes before my first daily meal. And I'll ask him to get me at least two days off before returning to work so I can recuperate, cuz I can't handle servicing people at my very service oriented job with the pain I still feel.

My incontinence makes me want to die. It's gotten so much worse that I can't be in denial about it any longer. I'm so embarrassed about it but I feel so much deep rooted shame about my vulva and it's functions. I couldn't stand up for myself when I tried to bring up the problem to my gyno and she said that only women who've been pregnant deal with incontinence. I've actually been dealing with this all my life to some degree because as a kid, my mom used to make comments when cleaning my underwear how a man will never love me because of it. I feel that's where my shame took root. Anyway, I tried kegel weights but the lowest weight feels like it gets sucked up in there, bumps something and gives me massive cramps for the rest of the day. Two days ago, I started pelvic floor exercises and I'm feeling muscle soreness in my pelvis so hopefully I see some progress if I keep it up.

Masturbating is totally normal, no doctor is going to bat an eye at that. And if for some crazy reason they did I still wouldn't risk my kidneys over the opinion of some random doctor who has surely seen much worse.
If it makes you feel more comfortable you can replace the word "masturbate" for "clitoral orgasm" or something like that, so that it doesn't specify whether you do it yourself or you just have sex with your partner. In any case either one is normal and the doctor doesn't care.
Stimulating the urethra to help the pee come out is also not unheard of. I've fostered baby kittens and when they're too young they need to be stimulated to pee and poop, normally their mom does it by licking their bits, but if they don't have a mom you have to grab a wet tissue and massage their butthole and genitals, and this is just normal procedure lol.

to preface this, i have an issue where no matter how much fruit and water I consume, i experience extreme constipation. I'm literally injuring my asshole these days so I've taken doses of miralax for the past three days alongside eating at least 6 prunes with every dose, and… nothing is happening.

RE: triphala, it doesn't work because of fibre from the fruit. The ingredients have strong healing properties like being anti inflammatory, studies have shown it can heal intestinal damage.
For me actually cutting out sugar, starches and simple carbs also really helped. I don't eat much fruit anymore aside from berries occasionally because they're low sugar, and my digestion has improved a lot. When I was drinking a lot of fruit smoothies my digestion was honestly at it worst, which was confusing, but I think the sugar wrecked havoc on my gut.

Final update. I am cured, but at what cost? Turns out what was happening was there was a plug of extremely hard and compact shit that just wasn't moving through my system, with all the miralax-and-prunes shit waiting and building behind it. After 8 days, I gave birth to the last of the concrete ass-breakers and what has followed since then is non-stop brown worms-on-a-string. I am afraid to fart now because I fear it will release them. My biggest problem is that when I go to shit, which is now like 4 times a day, it never really… completes. So I'm stuck wiping fruitlessly for like 10 minutes and it gets messy I cannot lie. When you fail at wiping and get poop on your finger you really feel like a fucking understimulated chimpanzee in a backwater zoo.
Also, I am horrified to figure out what "old people smell" really is. Anons, it's shit. Specifically miralax and prune shit. Going to the bathroom is now giving me flashbacks to sitting next to my great grandmother due to smell association.
I always thought I had a tiny appetite, and was kind of proud of it, like teehee look at my reasonable portion sizes. Well now I realize it's because I wasn't shitting and there simply was no more room inside for food to go. Since the miracle, I am absolutely ravenous. I haven't been this hungry ever in my life. I'm wondering, will I get fat now? Or was it like, before i was squeezing more nutrients out of my food and taking longer, but now I'm squeezing less out of my food and going quicker, does it even out? Or am I going to become a hambeast? And if so is it better to be a hambeast with healthy shits and an intact asshole, or a normal weight with a super fucked up asshole?

I've found a much better way to deal with constipation now. For very bad days I take 5g of psyllium husk powder with at least 200ml of water, chased down with even more water. Then I have oatmeal with prunes, berries and yoghurt. Throughout the day I'll do stretching and core exercises (mainly after meals) and 20 minutes of cardio in the evening + 20 minutes of stomach massages. If it's real bad, I'll have a binge day to stimulate the ol pipes into moving. But most of the time, psyllium and exercise does the trick.

Fuck I never cleaned bathrooms but whenever I went to the shared bathroom at my old workplace and in the hospital after men, it was often not flushed (someone even wrote an email about it to everyone at work), not cleaned properly with a brush or there was piss on the floor/toilet. Actually wtf

I always see dumb shit about how "womens restrooms are sooo disgusting compared to mens'". It's become a meme at this point and I sincerely doubt the validity of that claim.

The worst I see is maybe an unrolled pad

I remember in middle school, the principle had to give a PSA to all the students about bathroom etiquette because the boys thought it would be funny to piss on the walls and floor.

People clamouring to declare women the ickiest grossest gender have an agenda (reminds me of the 'akshually women are domestic abusers just as much and maybe even worse than men!!' cope) and I don't believe it. Theoretically women are dealing with potentially gross situations more often than men (periods, changing diapers, etc), we have to use the bathroom more frequently, and don't have urinals that might be a bit easier to keep clean. But women are overall more considerate and try to avoid inconveniencing others- why would that change in a bathroom? Even when attempting suicide women worry about whoever is going to see and clean up their body.

I've only ever had to clean women's rooms so I can't really compare but the cleanliness of a bathroom in my experience is based almost entirely on location (private vs public place, nice area vs dodgy area, if it's within a business that has people cleaning throughout the day, etc).

I'm having one of the worst nights ever. I had something to eat that was past the expiration date and I've been puking my guts out for the last hour and a half at regular intervals, with most of it being liquids since 50 minutes ago. I hate having the taste of stomach fluid coating whatever is being stuck in my mouth and oesophagus.
Topped with all the goddamn party goers in the neighborhood having to pass by my house, all loud and drunk to remind me that I'm miserable and have to work tomorrow on little sleep, it fucking suuucks.

How concerned should I be about a change in the smell of my farts? Recently they've gone from being consistently not great but inoffensive (to me), to heinously bad, like rotten eggs and spoiled milk combined. I assumed it was just something I ate and would eventually pass but it's been nearly 3 weeks and is still bad. I've not gone through any major diet/lifestyle changes in this time.

I don't want to freak you out but I did see a video on my algorithm recently about some woman finding out she had colon cancer because her farts smelled different. Not sure if clickbait, didn't watch. Probably worst and unlikely case scenario but good to stay informed. I went through a bad burp and fart phase for a few weeks once, and I think it was just stress. Maybe your gut flora is being thrown out of whack.
