what's happening to our borad TMI

- jaysus that shite was as good as a ride

wow

"man, that piss was as satisfying as a shag"

Also, I have to point out that poop on ILTMI is hardly anything new. In fact it was there from Day 1.

you aren't embracing the concept

-got my red wings last week. was fun and seemingly nothing bad happened you'd expect. (the girl... we've been talking like i'd talk to as a friend and i know her as a friend of friends, think 'occasional drunken fumble' is enough but then feel bad for thinking that.)

ok tell me more about that

because I would never let anyone go down on me if I were on the rag but maybe thats just me

Word? No, it's really not a big deal.

There should be a conversation - a disclosure - because I guess some people find it off-putting. But it's not even mentioned in my household anymore.

Wait are you guys talking tamp in or out cause neither is really my thing (never done it but no interest tbh) but no tamp just seems O_O to me.

Tamp in is no big thing. Not on the first couple of days tho

guys i hate to be 'that guy' but unless y'all are rednosin right now then pls take it to a non-current event thread

- pickin my arse

Because another thread about shit was exactly what we needed.

Besides they could be multitasking a la LJ. How do you know?!

ya true

Thread in no way limited to fecal matter fwiw

Derailing is all I know, man. :/

Wait are you guys talking tamp in or out cause neither is really my thing

Out! Really nbd.

Have fun with that.

I mean it's cool that you're fine with it and all. Never really been appealing for me.

I now have the word "clamato" stuck in my head

That shit is a) wrong and b) rank.

the tax clamato

my contribution is that, I've been eating a lot of fiber lately, and zounds!

how do I killfile this thread

I asked stet for a "Hide Thread" option last year, but NOOOOOOOOOOO

I can't fuck during my period because it hurts too much.

that's the look i've been waitin for, marcy sign those boys up

xp xp xp xp

took a crap this morning and was horrified to see that it was forest green and started to freak out because i cant afford to get a stomach flu at the moment because i am too busy and only remembered hours later that i had guzzled an entire bottle of unnaturally colored gatorade FIERCE GRAPE last afternoon and that was the culprit

guys i had curry AND fajitas yesterday

cool

I used to eat these as a kid

and well

clamato is delicious actually

TMI

Over the line

your display name takes on a whole new meaning on this thread fyi

to those who asked: umm, we ended up at hers after a party and only like midway she was all 'oh and i'm on, is that cool?' and i was all 'well fuck you could have said before hand but as there doesn't seem to be a problem for either of us so far, we might as well just carry on'. as towards the tamp situation, well shit i was stoned, tired and it was dark, i honestly cant remember.

let us know if you start shitting cotton

i guess it isnt necc unhealthy if someone elses blood is in your stool, so youve got that going for you

about now is when I thought about posting a picture of Cotton Mather but I don't think he's got proper face recognition to make the joke work

got images of sam taking some strong tokes on a blazin tampon tbh

I guess it probably depends on how heavy a girl's flow is? ime a lot of guys are ok with it, but I'm with erica on this topic.

Mine is somewhere between Niagara Falls and a firehose, but actually, my problem with it is that my vagina is too tender for a thrusting penis during my period--I always felt like I'd been sandpapered up in there afterward.

one thing i'm regretting is being one the first people to get a rolling tmi thread going; the rest of y'all get to be in the skip all messages.

there for posteriority

put a towel down, carry on, imo

words to live life by

my period is late

mine too. I better not be pregnant; I had a very indulgent month.

Thinking of you, Dr. M.

I’m always eating super spicy garbage and washing it down with high gravity beers, so my search for the ideal latrine of solitude is (was) altruistic as well as being a personal goal.

one of the bathrooms i often use in the building i work in is now "all genders" and i feel self-conscious dropping a big gross deuce in the adjacent stall to a woman

― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver)

suck it up buddy

Double gross

Women’s toilets are disgusting Jim, that’s not going to rank in the top 100 worst things that happens in there that day

I'm in favour of all gender bathrooms (I'm friendly with an NB person who was one of the people who campaigned for them to be introduced at our university) and not complaining,it's just an observation of what is ultimately a silly personal foible based on personal insecurity

i definitely thought gender segregated bathrooms were more or less about making sure that someone you might want to fuck doesn't hear you take a big noisy shit. but of course that only works for the straights. single seaters are the only real way forward here afaict

Which then leads to awkward walk-ins when the person sitting on the can forgets to lock the door.

yeah, i didn't want to totally be dismissive considering one of the reasons i'm holding out for an all-genders bathroom is not wanting to make cis people uncomfortable by using a gendered bathroom, but for real bathrooms are a challenge for me, and part of that challenge is worrying about cis bathroom panic

so there's this great combination of being on a pretty strong diuretic and trying desperately to hold it whenever i go anywhere

fortunately for me my social anxiety means that i have a hard time going out anywhere in public for any length of time

all public bathrooms should have white noise or music piped in. Or have those japanese optional buttons to make sounds in your stall.

women's public bathrooms are disgusting. it's because of all the hovering and the blood/hormonal poop explosions.

My mate selection rubric includes a column for how raunchy and insidious their splats are.

two different festivals I went to had all gender bathrooms and the differences were striking, mostly because of the crowd

the first was in a space where they obviously just rebranded the man/woman restrooms as generic. It took me until the third visit to realize one of them had urinals. I stand at one, only to be startled as the door opens then immediately slams shut multiple times. It turns out that when you open the door, the first thing you see is the backs of people standing at urinals so it was women opening the door and then going "nope!" before wandering to the other.

The second was at somewhere with restroom lines, and one restroom had urinals at a weird spot where, after turning the corner, you immediately got a side view of all the urinals, no dividers or blocking walls. But there were as many people going into stalls in groups (hmmmm) as women searching out a usable stall. So I guess everyone saw my junk, but they were probably more interested in their business, anyway

somewhere in a restaurant in a ski resort in france there is a unisex toilet with cubicles and sinks and urinals, barely hidden behind a divider and with a mirror on the opposite wall.

I was also irritated that the one time I actually needed to sit on a real toilet was when all these shady characters were hanging out in groups in the toilets and I ended up with the single stall in the entire venue that was MISSING A TOILET SEAT

I was desperate and now know what it's like to hover, and will be avoiding hovering for the rest of my life

unisex bathrooms are pretty normal here in France, not ubiquitous but common

er, maybe unisex isn't what I mean, un-gendered is what I mean, whereas everyone just uses the same bathroom, regardless of gender identity

toilet stall walls that go all the way to the floor and up considerably higher than normal are essential

also, none of the doors with a large enough gap between the door and frame to see in, please

maybe one of those helpful indicators when the stall door is locked by showing green/red

When i was a kid I was doing some bus tour of taiwan and I distinctly remember us making a rest stop. I went in through the women's bathroom door which was right next to the men's door, but both doors went into the same room.

My mom's family's house only had an outhouse bathroom where the squat toilet hole just opened down the side of the mountain. It had a lot of spiders and lizards. It was terrifying.

in one of the buildings in which I teach, the ungendered bathrooms have one room with two urinals but there's no door to this room, which is a little more hardcore than usual, but whatever, it's not like watching someone take a piss should be that big a deal, particularly when you just see them from the back

toilet stalls are completely walled off from one another, so there aren't peeping worries generally

In our bathrooms at work, there is a gap between the back wall and the back of the stall that's a little bigger than it should be.

The mirrors are unfortunately positioned to where one could inadvertently see a reflection of someone sitting on the near toilet if you turned your head the right way.

People began to notice and complain about it and nothing was done. There were no peeping tom issues or anything, but people felt uncomfortable.

For about two years, someone in the bathroom on my floor was filling the gaps with toilet paper origami. Like he was wasting sheets and sheets of TP and making little TP bouquets and other things and shoving them in the gaps in the toilet.

It stopped eventually so I assume he either stopped worrying or got fired for wasting massive TP.

ime American toilet cubicles in general have massive gaps around the doors and under/ over, compared to UK. I think I first used one in SF airport and thought it must be a security thing (??!) but no, just an American thing.

the funniest thing about the restrooms in the building I currently work in is that the floor is too shiny. I tend to ignore it, but coworkers who can't assure me that they can see the outline of the guy in the next stall looking at his phone on the toilet

in one of the (gendered) restrooms in my building the tile wall is too shiny and the gap between the cubical frame and the wall is such that you can fully see dudes sitting on the crapper by accident while at the urinals

don't wanna say I'm constipated, but let's just say the bible virus about a camel passing through the eye of a needle is feeling very relevant atm

I broke my leg recently and was on narcotics for over a month, the longest I’ve had to take them. Good lord, I just about had to take a nap after some of those workouts.

And by workouts, I mean massive slow-motion creaking shits.

Had takeout BBQ for lunch, and now my piss really smells like BBQ sauce.

Full-term neonates come through the other door, but the traffic through this door?

I shit too much. always have done. my ex-wife suggested maybe I have ibs. I did nothing about it.

anyway, I'm turning 36 soon. I decided that perhaps it's time to solve this issue. so I have limited my diet. from experience I have an inkling that the following cause issues for me:

nightshades, legumes, coffee.

I've also cut out wheat, as my brother is coeliac and there is a genetic element.

I was vegan for many years so know that not consuming dairy does not help me in this regard.

result:

I'm now shitting like a normal person. sometimes once a day, sometimes twice.

I'm going to reintroduce the possible culprits one by one, starting in a few weeks. I don't know who to root for out of nightshades and gluten for NOT being the guilty party. in any case it looks like bruschetta is off the menu. I sort of assume the guilt of legumes, and while I love them and they have played a large part of my diet for years, I would not miss them as much as tomatoes, eggplants, wheat noodles, San Francisco sourdough, etc.

oh and caffeinated coffee is definitely a no-go-area for me. my gf got me a caffeinated cappuccino instead of a decaf the other day and it had the expected result

what is the downside of shitting too much? asking for a friend.

Shitting: too much > not enough

hemorrhoids/generally irritated arsehole. inconvenience (having to rush to the bathroom to shit at inopportune times). dehydration.

Grumbly guts.

Being bloated and having a fat stomach all the time and/or stomach cramps, which is the stage before the shits, which are by that time probably a great relief.

bloated, big bag of bloatation

yeah definite bloating and abdominal discomfort as quotidian state of being

My husband has something similar, jim, and it’s miserable - he’s had it most of his life, has tried to get diagnosis/medical treatment to no avail. Various diets haven’t effected any improvement. Everyone insists it’s gluten and/or dairy but he’s mostly vegan and we spent two weeks in Italy a couple years ago, where he ate way more bread and pasta than usual plus cheese and gelato. I’ve done lots of research on this for him and it’s a really understudied area of health.

Recticare is great for pain around an inflamed butt; a portable bidet bottle is useful for travel; Metamucil can help (he eats an extremely high fiber diet but also takes like 12 Metamucil caps a day and def notices things are worse if he doesn’t). He’s also had some success with this supplement called Endefin, when things are really bad. Apparently it tastes horrendous but does help.

The “quotidian state of being” re stomach pain etc is otm. It’s a really horrible condition to live with, esp because it’s such a TMI subject.

I took a late shower today and had picked up my clothes to smell my t-shirt to see if I should change it or put it back on, which is how I ended up inadvertently mashing my own dirty underwear in my face and taking a huge sniff.

Started ADHD medication ( which is like hen's teeth for adults in the UK ) and feeling alternately great and fucked. keep drinking my normal amount of coffee forgetting I've already got plenty of stimulant coursing thru. And alcohol hangovers seem worse.

I just crapped with a back brace on in the hospital, exactly as doctors have longed to see for a week

(yes I was on a toilet)

i say this with genuine love: good for you!

(yes I was on a toilet)

bit inconsiderate, if these coprodocs have been fanging to watch

So I have the sort of opposite prob to Jim - I have IBS-C which mean I have a BM around 2-3 times per week. It’s gotten progressively worse over the past five years but my main symptoms are severe and incredibly painful bloating where nothing fits and I look pregnant but my stomach is hard as a rock. I am also nauseous a lot of the time and it’s just awful. I’m trying to eat low FODMAP but it requires so much planning. Right before lockdown the doc ordered a bunch of tests to rule out coeliac and IBD but I haven’t had the chance to get them done yet. The bloating is particularly awful because I have some pretty bad body dysmorphia on the best of days so it’s a never ending cycle of physically feeling like shit and then obsessing over how my body looks because of the bloating and I’m just so tired of it.

bah that sounds really awful enbb, i'm sorry. i wish i had something more helpful to say. the fodmap thing has always sounded bananas to me. my mom was on it for awhile and it was incredibly complex just to like, order a pizza!

uugghhh ENBB that SUCKS, every part of it, the stress of dysmorphia on top of physical pain sounds truly horrible. I really really really want the best things for you and I hope they find some good breakthrough shit for you to manage this!!!

Aww, thanks both. Yeah, it sucks. It also feels like I’ve been sort of dismissed by doctors repeatedly who just say oh that’s just IBS nbd and maybe it is “just IBS” but for me the symptoms are actually a very big deal and I just want to get the tests done to rule out anything else.
I’ve definitely had to stay home from work and cancel plans because of it but even when it’s not flaring you badly it’s something I deal with almost every day in some way.

TH - eating out is so hard which is why I get frustrated and just eat what I want a lot of the time but then feel sick. It is so hard avoiding things like onions and garlic for instance. A) They’re delicious but B) They’re in everything!! Anyway to anyone else suffering with this I feel you and I’m sorry.

That's horrible, ENBB! Ugh why are our bodies so stubborn about what is and isn't good for us. I would love to say that FODMAP stuff looks like hippie BS but unfortunately it mirrors my reactions entirely too well. I'm especially bummed that now AVOCADOS seem to be giving me symptoms which is just...WHAT WILL YOU NOT TAKE FROM ME?

It won't take any shit from her - that's the problem!

(sorry to hear this for both of you)
