LOL! That's a new one. Now the really bad thing is I usually don't have time to read more than a handful of posts on here, but if someone says it's gross, I just about always read it out of gross curiousity! Anyone else do that?Anyhow, I've also had the "cow patty" load in the toilet...never all in one string tho!
Maybe it's because I don't have that Texan blood...I used to do that a lot more before I was diagnosed, when I would have a D attack, then take enough Immodium to stop me up, then when that wore off or something triggered me, I'd have a massive BM...it'd start out solid, and sometimes those hard stools rocketed out if there were some angry intestines propelling other stuff toward the colon too... Hello, fissure! Then it'd get gradually softer, til it was completely unformed. And there'd be this PILE in the toilet...I couldn't believe that much poop was in me! And usually I'd try to flush partway through, too and still what a pile!
Now when I take Immodium, I usually wait til most of the stuff is out to take it, and use a smaller dose to just slow the intestines down, or stop them temporarily. But when I have had to take a larger dose and gotten rebounding, I fill the toilet again... I really try to avoid that now, because it's rather uncomfortable, often painful, until that floodgate opens... it's not that I'm C, it's that the cramping/rapid motility has started, and there is more ahead of it than usual!
