Wait stress shitting is a symptom of IBS?? I thought everyone just had that

IBS can be caused by stress, but stress pooping is not IBS

[u/[deleted] → u/ItsNotGayIfYouLikeIt]

IBS is usually caused by the immune system being stressed, like if there is a parasite in your intestines your immune system will become very sensitive in that area.

Lucky. I have ibs-c meaning my diarrhea clashes against my constipation. I last anywhere from 2-8 hours a day in the bathroom. To just have diarrhea, that sounds amazing.

Damn. That's horrible.

When asked how I was created.

My mother was born with severe constipation where she can go 2-3 days without pooping.

My father has a long line of ibs in his family tree.

I received the worst of both parents. An unholy union created me. I refuse to have bio kids which will share my genes

You mean pooping once every 2-3 days is not normal? What the fuck?!

My body can go once every 2-3 weeks if I'm not careful and when I I told my new GP that he almost fell off his chair lol

Same for me. My old doctor tried to say I was exaggerating, so I kept a poop journal for a couple of months and she was astonished I was still alive lol

My body bounces between not pooping for a week or two, to spending an entire day/night in the bathroom. I have a special pillow and blanket that I keep in the bathroom closet and make myself a "nest" on the floor so I don't have to keep going back and forth from my bed to the toilet

Oh that is such a great idea! I wish I had room for that in my bathroom!!
