    Are you regular as clockwork? Do you visit the throne the same time every day?

    I guess you could say the quality of after hours posting is..... Going down the toilet.




    I'll grab my coat.

    Bodily functions are a private matter. The interwebby thing will sort you out, just check the US sites for all this shyte talk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭FortySeven


    Nope. I go when I need to. In and out in 2 minutes. Don't get those folks who go the same time every day and spend twenty minutes trying to shunt one through the hoop.

    Very strange.

    PRUNES! Thats what you need and want!

    Great big dirty brown slithering prunes stewed and swimin in a bowl of sloppy custard, to keep you regular.

    More than 8 times a day.

    Or less than once every 8 days.

    You've got problems.

    Wait...no...that's masturbation. Know nothing about bowel regularity.

    Why not just do both at the same time? Would get rid of any confusion you have

    Oh lordy I have memories of sitting on my little yellow potty as my mammy fed me prunes.

    All I can say is those early experiences paved the way for a future of discomfort.

    Movicol, fybogel, senokot, colonoscopies, suppositories, passing out with the pain, ultrasounds, ah the joys of bowels.

    Movicol kept me out of hospital a while back, really helps.

    It does but I find it really really hard to keep down. I don't mind the colonoscopies because I'm well sedated, it's trying to drink the awful stuff beforehand and not throw it back up that's the problem.

    I actually think it's important to talk about these things. Yes on one hand you can say bodily functions are a private matter but awareness around bowel and stomach issues can save lives. Too much prudishness in this country.

    I didn't find it that bad, I was taking it and duphalac together twice a day until I loosened up.

    Oh I had forgotten about duphalac. So sweet and sticky!

    I've had a good stretch now I must say. Plenty of water and a few little diet tweaks has worked wonders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 366 ✭✭madanall


    I have a good crap every morning to start the day. I prefer not to force it out and let it just slide out.

    Regular as clockwork. Wet wipes help me clean the area thoroughly. Prune juice is my best friend..for medicinal purposes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭Beanntraigheach


    Pooing is a vile habit.

    Those who do it should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves! :mad:

    I don't think people who are "regular" actually pick a daily time to try force one out!!! :D
    It just happens naturally at around the same time every day ..........

    Please Persepoly .......... I had an image of you as a lil sexy minx ......... but you've turned me right off! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I dunno, without getting into it too much I only need to go every few days. Doesn't cause me any problems and I wouldn't have time for pooping every day anyway.

    I do think I'm either gluten intolerant or lactose intolerant though. If I have a sandwich (always have cheese on it) I get so bloated and crampy afterwards. One sandwich would bloat me enough so that my uniform feels painted onto me but it'll fit me comfortably beforehand. I can't drink beer because it makes me very irritated and sick and gives me a dodge tummy. I've had blood tests done for being celioac, so far they're coming back negative but both my GP and hospital keep running tests for it

    I'm a little similar to yourself Lexie. I have Ibs. It would be no harm you having a chat with your doctor about that.

    I can tell you that keeping an eye on your kidney function is just as important as your bowel. Lots of water.

    Are you me Persepoly?! :P
    I seen a GP who with out really taking much history just said "Its IBS" but from birth, all my life, with no change no matter what diet controls and meds? No further investigations.
    Currently on 2 water soluble sachets of Movicol a day, its ****ing vile.
    Lime or Orange "flavour" take your poison pick. To be fair its helping but I gag trying to drink it.

    I do think it's important to discuss these things for a medical point of few, if you have problems, go see your GP.
    It might not be anything bad, just an uncomfortable issue you have, and they can make things better, whats to lose.

    I have IBS and I'm also lactose intolerant. I know there's also something else wrong but we havnt worked it out. It's important to be tested properly.

    How do you even be tested? I just spoke to a new GP when I moved and they said "It's IBS, take these laxatives." (The Movicoil stuff).

    I was thought to be coeliac (was put on gluten free diet for 2 years when I was 2-3yrs old which done nothing).

    Was endoscoped about an ulcer, but when they were in my stomach they took samples of tissue to test for many things, including coeliac which came back negative.
    I don't think I would be lactose intolerant, I can drink milk, yoghurts (great for my ulcer), ice cream and all that with zero pain/bloating.
    Just sick of stomach and bowel problems all my life. :mad:

    IBS is usually diagnosed by excluding other conditions so I've had colonoscopys and sigmoidoscopys. Also try removing certain things from your diet to see if it makes a difference.

    Sounds..delightful - but if it could uncover whats wrong and I can manage then whats wrong then its only positive.
    Never thought I would be wanting a colonoscopy and such investigations :(
    The endoscopy was horrific enough.
    I have excluded wheat, fibre (soluble and non soluble at different times), dairy stuff and with little to no improvement or things get worse.
    Gluten triggers severe stomach/gut aches sometimes and horrendous bloating, I would look 4 months pregnant within hours.
    No craic this stuff is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,127 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    There's no tests for ibs, it's diagnosed based on symptoms. My own opinion is when you have tests and nothing is found you get diagnosed with IBS.

    There is a a lot of positive research into poo donation. A reverse colonic irrigation using someone else's poo. It seems to be curing a lot of people with various problems. The donated poo is blended with water and pumped into the person with the issue and the bacteria sort themselves out.

    Sounds horrific but similar to a blood transfusion.

    Watched some tv show last week which featured that, seems good for ulcerative colitis and certain infections which has been proven to work.
    However currently under research would be it helps things like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, which is bizarre.

    I got stomach pains a couple of weeks ago - possibly dodgy bank holiday taco fries. Was in absolute agony. Scarily so. Wondered if it was appendicitis. My mother is a nurse and reckoned the small intestine was a bit inflamed. Luckily Zantac and Motillium and Gaviscon got rid of the pain and stomach acid, but it took a good few of them and about three hours. It occurred to me that this is a constant thing for people who have Crohns and IBS - misery.

    Usually I'm grand though - I eat lots of vegetables and nuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,127 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    For me it started 2 years ago. I woke up in the middle of the. Night with a really bad pain in my stomach, the kind that makes you feel weak and like you want to vomit. I thought it was food poisoning but on the 3rd day of being in agony it clicked with me that I'd be having the runs with food poisoning and not in so much pain. Then when I went to the toilet and passed blood I went to an out of hours GP as I knew it couldn't wait until the morning.
    Turned out that my bowel was impacted so barely anything could get through. Even
    R since then I make sure I go every day but I rarely get the urge at the same time of day.
