A poop that feels scratchy on the way out.

Do go to the doctor hun, bloody bottoms are not to be trifled with, especially when there is no obvious cause.

I had a gushing butt once, but that was a tear thanks to med induced constipation, ouch!

I'm glad this thread exists - I need to tell somebody I went three times already today! And its just past noon!!

Well done!

Love Child, any word? Is everything okay in the world of poop?

Still bleeding. I know I should go to the doctor, but I'm quite embarrassed. At least it's not dark red!

A few minutes of embarrassment is nothing compared to the possibility of letting something get out of hand. Please see a doctor.

Love Child, there is a poster on the wall of my doctor's waiting room with pictures of lots of bottoms which says "Your doctor has seen them all" and then something about it being very important to GO TO THE DOCTOR if you bleed from your anus.

However, when I saw your first post it sounded as though you had got your first period but didn't know anything about mentruation/vaginas/lady things.

Ok, ok. I'll wait just another day and see if it goes away, if not I'll call the doctor. I've had this problem a couple of times before, but it has never before bled between toilet visits.

Heh, that's not possible though. I never have and never will menstruate.

So glad I found this thread. Today I recently had a nasty bout of diarrhea. I've gone to the bathroom 4-5 times today, all about 6-7 on the Bristol Chart.

The last things I ate last night were Red Lentil Cauliflower Curry and some clementines that were partly moldy (threw away the moldy parts). I fear it was the Lentil Curry, which makes me sad because it was SO good! Thing is, I order Indian food from restaurants with no stomach problems! And eat spicy things (with red pepper flakes, sriracha sauce, hot sauce) and do not have problems. Although, the one time I tried Tibetan/Himalayan food, a similar diarrhea experience happened. I guess it was a lot of lentils, but usually that just makes me gassy not terribly ill. What do you all think?

On a similar note, when you fellow vegan go out to eat at non-vegan restaurants, do you sometimes feel ill / have to poop immediately afterwards? This happens sometimes, and I assume it's because my supposedly vegan food was contaminated with meat or dairy (also lactose intolerant!). Ugh.

Mould penetration!

I get yucky tummy from restaurants frequently....I figure there are a bunch of reasons why, cross contamination being one of them. I have noticed that in the absence of butter, restaurants can use way too much oil in dishes and that makes my stomach crazy.
The moldy clementines sound suspicious.

I agree entirely. butter or no, i've gotten used to using less oil and i just can't deal with that much anymore.

Ugh, I partook in too much tea from dubious water sources while in Morocco last week and am now feeling the poop-related repercussions. It's supposed to be my first day back at work, but instead I'm alternating between sleeping, not wandering far from the toilet and subsisting on rehydration salts. And our car battery died while we were away so I would need to ride my bike to the doctor. I don't think I'm capable of that in this state.

I don't think there will ever come a time when i'll see seeds in my poop and actually remember eating them. It's always, "What the fork...what is that?!"

Bwah! The first time I pooped after eating that Ikea seaweed "caviar", I was like, the hell? What are little black balls doing in my poo?

Ever since this thread introduced me to the concept of the Bristol stool index, I am so proud of myself every time I poop. (Seriously, I do a mental self-five for every 4.)

Also, I love the concept of a poop-thread.

I ate so much sugar and white flour over the weekend I'm constipated.

It's like corn! I swear, if you eat corn once in your life, it will be in your system forever. I've had corn poo even when I know I haven't had corn in months! And I poop at least once a day! WHERE WAS IT HIDING???

Wow! haha I've had a few days like that before. I'm a consistent three-a-day-er.

The other day I did two decent sized poos and they stopped each other from flushing.

The last few days, I've been feeling more constipated than usual, due to increased refined carbs and sugar intake over the weekend. I did yoga last night And this morning, It seems I flushed my system a bit.. Just wanted to share with all of you. (I think it had to do with the really deep stretching and release of tension the yoga brought)

Count me in as another who has been having lots of refined carbs and has fallen out of my poop groove (ew?) a bit. I miss pooping 2x a day, down with this 1x a day not-very-satisfying crepe!

I ate too much junk on Wednesday, then yesterday my schedule was all screwy (6.30am meeting, home for a nap, back to work at noon), and I shockingly didn't poop all day. I also blame dehydration. This morning, I took the biggest poop of my life. Bigger than the one I took on a mountain, which was the prior record. It was seriously as long as my forearm and almost as wide as my wrist. Baaaaaarf. I'm super impressed that it flushed, but seriously, HOW WAS THERE SO MUCH IN THERE??

Awesome kara kara!

I had a dream that I filled up an entire toilet with poop. I think I must have been farting in my sleep, and the smell infiltrated my dreams.
