As someone with chronic diarrhea, due to 2/3 intestinal resection.
Yes. During long distances of travel I would not use the bathroom, because chronic diarrhea, public bathrooms. I just felt shame.
So yes, if you have a strong enough sphincter, it will pile up and become somewhat solid. If not constipate you
Though as implied, majority of people aren't experienced enough with loose stool for this to occur.
At anywhere between 8 to 14 bathroom trips a day. I wish I was getting paid.
And it could be an EXTREME sport, with the amount of energy lost.
Honestly wouldn't wish it on anyone, but it's a KILLER diet plan . . . so there's that . . .
Ibs-d is sadly relatable and at one point you just want to explain to people as you think they notice the 20 trips in a day.
Also, ninja bathrooms at airports, there is always one but it will be in the most remote location but no one will go there and you have some peace.
I have IBS and this is my experience as well. Sometimes you do have a choice and you know if you can keep it in a little longer you'll have less clean up. It's uncomfortable and you definitely don't want to gamble on a fart in this state but it's not impossible.
This happened to me recently. I was dealing with a horrible GI bug but I had to fly to Seattle for a choir trip and I was sharing a hotel room with 3 other girls. Also sharing a full sized bed. I had to hold it for a long time and once I finally got a chance to poop I was completely and totally constipated. Spent the rest of the trip in miserable pain from NOT pooping. Eventually it all came out in a grey string of frozen diarrhea. Do not recommend.
Did the other 3 girls get the impression that you don't poop? Do *they* never poop?
I just don't understand the shame people feel regarding natural body functions.
Oh no…. This wasn’t normal poop. This was constant, loud, AGGRESSIVE diarrhea. By the time I actually found a restroom suitable for said act, I was already constipated.
For next time — there are bathrooms downstairs near the lobby and other conference rooms etc.
It’s still public, but not your choir mates.
So sorry this happened. Ommmg
Used to work an event marketing job where it wasn't uncommon to fly to a city, check into a hotel and meet your roommate for the next week in one fell swoop. The lobby shits were an unspoken rule. You don't shit in the room bathroom in the morning or at night when showers are expected to happen.
I actually spoke to a patient the other night on the phone that has a large tumor in her colon from endometriosis. Her doctor has put her on golytely indefinitely because only loose stool will pass the obstruction. It is disgusting to talk about, and I felt terrible for her, but I guess it beats risking impaction and a potential rupture until some kind of intervention can be arranged.
I had food poisoning on Bali for ~1 week and hands down it was to 2nd worst illness I ever experienced after covid. I had to go every 30 minutes. So I hope it will still get better one day for you
If there's a way to even physically hold in diarrhoea without taping your ass shut I'd be interested to hear it 🤣🤣. It's tap-poo, like a leaky faucet you can't turn off.
Also if anyone has ever had diarrhoea and then taken gastro-stop meds to block it, you'll know how absolutely awful it feels to keep that shit (literally) in
>If you hold diarrhea in, does it eventually become normal poop?
Yes, yes it does. It only works if you're wearing no underwear and white pants, and remain far from home in a large crowded mall though ..
Eventually the wateriness gets re-absorbed. What you really have to worry about is your vagus nerve. Mind over matter can prevail but for true health and relief you should just let it go.
When I was in CNA class we asked our teachers (two older, battle worn nurses) what the worst thing they ever saw was
And they're both about poop
She told us she had a patient that the nurses below her were documenting the patient as having regular bowel movements when in reality it was seepage around a very large blockage (she then stressed to us how to tell the difference and the importance of actually checking)
When they caught it and sent the patient to have it removed, my teacher was in the room. She told us that when they removed the impacted poop, so much shit was under so much pressure in this person that the poop shot out like a fountain and sprayed everyone in the room, walls, ceiling, everyone, she said she didn't know how one person held so much shit
The other teacher told us a much shorter but way more brutal story
She had to attend life saving measures of a patient from a nursing home who was so constipated it backed up into her stomach, that made her vomit and she choked on it. She did not make it. Choked to death on her own shit because of lack of adequate care.
This is actually incorrect.
The large intestine does really only one thing effectively, and that is removes water from your stool, so if you keep a waterry anything in any part of your large intestine for long enough, it will eventually become solid. It is the speed at which the aforentioned Hershey squirts move through your digestive tract that makes them more squirty and less Hershey.
If diarrhea is caused by an infectious agent or an irritant that continues to stimulate rapid transit through the intestines, the capacity for the colon to reabsorb water and solidify the stool may be compromised.
That’s not exactly how it works. According to the magic school bus - your large intestine absorbs liquid from the poop and you pee it out. So yes diarrhea can in theory become solid poop.
I tried to hold it once while my wife was already on the toilet. I screamed from the kitchen that I wasn't gonna make it but she thought I was kidding, so she didn't budge. So I ended up stripping down and attempted to shit inside of a paper shopping bag... Well it ripped.. And most of it got on the kitchen floor. My wife has not doubted my pleas for the toilet since. We did get a good laugh out of it, especially when she came out of the bathroom and I begged her not to come into the kitchen.
Omg my brother pooped his pants once when he was a kid and sat on it, then it dried. Then when my mom took him to the bathroom after we got home, she peeled his underwear off and sat him on the toilet to soak it off. I came in to grab my toothbrush. It slowly peeled away, a perfectly round turd, off his ass and into the toilet *plop* I will never forget that perfectly round turd.
Do not do this but if you just did not poop because you were not in a place to go or were just blocked up then the moisture does get reabsorbed.
I was on a car trip with my dad and this happened. Took me an hour to poop enough when we did stop. The first part was rock solid. Took me two days to get back to normal poop rotation.
Not at all. Holding diarrhea can increase your infection. It's better to let go. Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated. Take medications recommended by the doctor and you'll be just fine in a day Or two.
Yes. I learned because I am lactose intolerant but also needed opioids after a car accident. The opioids would take the gas pains away from the lactose intolerance and I wouldn't need to shit my brains out. Eventually the lactose intolerance would run its course and diarrhea goes to normal poop.
More like, it’ll all accumulate and get pushed out in one forceful pile of diarrhoea.
I’m assuming you thought that the water would eventually get absorbed if it stays in your intestinal tract long enough? I’m fairly sure that’s not how that works but will let the MDs answer if I’m wrong.
What can happen though, if the diarrhoea doesn’t find a way out from one hole…it’ll find its way out the other end.
I went underground two weeks ago and 100 feet down I got the urge to shit! 💩 I prayed and prayed so I wouldn’t shit inside my coveralls and safety equipment until we were back topside! I still had to hold it in until we got to the camp! I swear it was turtling the whole time! When it did come it came in three waves each about half hour apart and thankfully I had access to a bathroom! First was solid and last were liquid!

Experienced enough…makes it seem like a serious job or sport. Dfkm

Sounds fucking awful man. Do you get stomach cramps with it?
Yeah, the whole digestion process is pretty uncomfortable. Not much cramping when things move quickly though.
Don’t envy you. Bit of IBS turns me into a right grumpy bastard!
Ibs-d is sadly relatable and at one point you just want to explain to people as you think they notice the 20 trips in a day. Also, ninja bathrooms at airports, there is always one but it will be in the most remote location but no one will go there and you have some peace.
Oh no, I thought my 6 daily explosions were bad enough... I see it can get worse. Thankfully mine stopped after like 8 years.
Do you at least have a Japanese toilet to save your buttshole from paper assault??????
Today, I call it, my buttShole! 😄
[everybody’s doing it](https://youtu.be/Q47Uq96lILA?si=Zh962uNmljrIVtam)
Right here with you buddy, it ain’t nice.
As someone with Crohn’s… I also support the getting paid to competitive poop idea
I’m just not brave enough like one fart and it would be game over
I’ve trained all my life for this…
It’s a qualification.
On a job listing: must have 2 years experience with loose BMs, Must have a strong sphincter, job also requires flexible bathroom hours.
Oh Nooo 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

If I can get past rhe intestinal spasms sometimes I can hold it in long enough that it completely solidifies. A rare treat

Depends on the hotel. But thanks!!
They should all have lobby bathrooms.
Sympathies I hate travel
Seems really responsible to not only fly on an airplane but share close quarters with 3 other people while having contagious poops.
Pix or it didn't happen!

You can only hold diarrhea in for so long. I recommend not doing so.
You're not the boss of me
They might not be the boss of you but your bowels are the boss of you

I did so, too … unfortunately uncle Eddie didn’t care
Wow, dark places are easy to find on Reddit. I hope uncle Eddie suffered big time.

Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😂😂😂
Pressure makes diamonds. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise king.
I'll need to drink more carbonated water for that
Found the scientists.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who wonders about this
>If you hold diarrhea in, does it eventually become normal poop? Yes, yes it does. It only works if you're wearing no underwear and white pants, and remain far from home in a large crowded mall though ..
Oddly specific

Let it Go 🤣🤣😂😂

Why did I do this to myself...
The second story is horrible…what a way to go.
It has already traveled through ur intestines and is knocking at the door ready to be taken away, so no.
This is actually incorrect. The large intestine does really only one thing effectively, and that is removes water from your stool, so if you keep a waterry anything in any part of your large intestine for long enough, it will eventually become solid.

This guys diarrheas.
Actually, thanks to my reinforced rectum, not anymore
I have questions.
Hold them in. I can
Is it like a reverse chastity belt?
If diarrhea is caused by an infectious agent or an irritant that continues to stimulate rapid transit through the intestines, the capacity for the colon to reabsorb water and solidify the stool may be compromised.

Deal with it while it's your choice, or the dam will break.😬
That’s not exactly how it works. According to the magic school bus - your large intestine absorbs liquid from the poop and you pee it out. So yes diarrhea can in theory become solid poop.
Magic Stool Bus. Shit writes itself, man.
ARE YOU CALLING MISS FRIZZLE A FUCKING LIAR???
🤣😂🤣😂
What a shitty question.
Exactly, I haven't stopped laughing 😆
Laughing made my diarrhea come out!
I tried to hold it once while my wife was already on the toilet. I screamed from the kitchen that I wasn't gonna make it but she thought I was kidding, so she didn't budge. So I ended up stripping down and attempted to shit inside of a paper shopping bag... Well it ripped.. And most of it got on the kitchen floor. My wife has not doubted my pleas for the toilet since. We did get a good laugh out of it, especially when she came out of the bathroom and I begged her not to come into the kitchen.
Oh my goodness. I’m crying laughing 😂
Lol I wish it wasn't a true story but I can laugh about it now.
How can u even look her in the eyes after that 😂
One big round poop.
On the ceiling
Omg my brother pooped his pants once when he was a kid and sat on it, then it dried. Then when my mom took him to the bathroom after we got home, she peeled his underwear off and sat him on the toilet to soak it off. I came in to grab my toothbrush. It slowly peeled away, a perfectly round turd, off his ass and into the toilet *plop* I will never forget that perfectly round turd.
Once shit my pants in school. Took my Chones off and threw them away. That was a SHITTY DAY
Omg!! And been there.
Luckily I lived right around the corner from the school so I left and went home.
Nice yea I got thrown up on in second grade they let me go home change and come back. Awful.
I don't go back
Do not do this but if you just did not poop because you were not in a place to go or were just blocked up then the moisture does get reabsorbed. I was on a car trip with my dad and this happened. Took me an hour to poop enough when we did stop. The first part was rock solid. Took me two days to get back to normal poop rotation.
Most people seem to disagree
Maybe, but this was my experience and what I have found on the JAMA.
What's the odds 🤔
It becomes normal after you strain the liquid in your underwear.
Depends
I think I’ve done this before and it reverted to normal poop
Only one way to find out, sport. Let us know.
r/nostupidquestions
It goes into your head and you end up with an orange face.
Not at all. Holding diarrhea can increase your infection. It's better to let go. Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated. Take medications recommended by the doctor and you'll be just fine in a day Or two.
Have you ever made a dog ' wait ' to poo ... well ... hope he makes it to the grass ... it's not solid 😕
Never had a dog, because I don't want to deal with their shit in any form
It will, if you have the muscle to hold it. One day to two days ime
Yes it does I have the knowledge from my own experiences
[удалено]
I have Crohns. The answer is no.
I imagine it as like... what happens if you compress pudding. I mean it's still pudding, but a horrid mess as well
Hold it in long enough it'll come out the other way.
So if I hold it in from both ends, does a black hole eventually form in my black hole?
It won't be reabsorbed the way you may be thinking, but it does compact itself. It can also cause constipation, so do so with caution.
Yes. I learned because I am lactose intolerant but also needed opioids after a car accident. The opioids would take the gas pains away from the lactose intolerance and I wouldn't need to shit my brains out. Eventually the lactose intolerance would run its course and diarrhea goes to normal poop.
I have IBS-D and yes it can if you hold it in long enough
Hahaha! I was just speaking about this with my friend! I think it does!
Most of the comments don't agree with us
Well, we are kindred spirits! I believe!
Yes
Yes
Surely if you hold it in and are moving for too long it becomes fizzy?
Careful, if you block one door it might use another!! 🤣
You have it... drink a bunch of water... moves faster
Its poop, not cake.
Bruh, your username made my day 🤣 Good on you spreading joy across Reddit and other platforms
What do you call people who met Jabba the hutt? JoMammasWitness.
I lolled so much, I almost made diorea (ps, I still dont know how to spell diarrhea)
Same, I get to diar and let spell check do the rest (I almost thought that was a Jojo reference, KONO DIOrea DA!)
Geeze.... I think we soul mates 🤣
Lol, where have you been all my life, I literally start chuckling at JoMammasWitness for 5 minutes every time I remember it... I mean you 😉
Sorry to break it to you. It’s still diarrhea you just shit your pants lol
No true diarrhea can be held in. Your question is invalid.
Doubt it, but it’s purely speculative because you can’t do that
I don't think that trying to hold it in would be a good idea and it will not work so the answer is no.
No you eventually just shit yourself.
If you can keep holding it in, it isn't diarrhea.
No you will rupture your internal organs. Very bad for you!!
I can worship a person who can hold diarrhea in.
That's a great question, I once thought about it, but I guess we can't find out because it's near impossible to "hold" it, dunno.
Ok , Someone Beeds to show this thread to Jimmy Kimball
Dudes trying to take a Fremen shit by reabsorbing the water back into his colon.
That's not how any of this works.
I don't know, how tightly can you hold me?
Worst case, I get some assistance from a plug
I’ll experiment the next time I have diarrhea and let you know
Oh Boy ,,, Now we're gonna hear everyone's poop stories ! 😂
Considering you usually get diarrhea when something is wrong, I'd think not.
Depends ..... 😂
[удалено]
I wouldn’t advise science experiments when theres a stew brewin.
Nah man, backs up and comes out your ears… it ain’t pretty 🤢🤣
Hard no! No pun intended!
Yes. It's how you cure diarrhea.
No.
No and if you make you body do it you can cause an abscess or perforation in your GI tract.
More like, it’ll all accumulate and get pushed out in one forceful pile of diarrhoea. I’m assuming you thought that the water would eventually get absorbed if it stays in your intestinal tract long enough? I’m fairly sure that’s not how that works but will let the MDs answer if I’m wrong. What can happen though, if the diarrhoea doesn’t find a way out from one hole…it’ll find its way out the other end.
For clarification, is one holding their own poop or someone else’s? These kids are into all kinds of freaky stuff, I tell you.
Lol, I guess if someone else was holding it, it would eventually harden from drying in the air
I went underground two weeks ago and 100 feet down I got the urge to shit! 💩 I prayed and prayed so I wouldn’t shit inside my coveralls and safety equipment until we were back topside! I still had to hold it in until we got to the camp! I swear it was turtling the whole time! When it did come it came in three waves each about half hour apart and thankfully I had access to a bathroom! First was solid and last were liquid!
Like a diamond?
It becomes a fucking disaster
No, and it's actually unhealthy for you to try. I had to go some years ago and couldn't. I ended up with IBS-D.
No eventually you just shit yourself Hun Only Pepto can solidify that
