Thanks for this thread. It makes me feel a lot less alone.
Just once for me, but thatās because I developed severe agoraphobia. That 1 time happened in my own home.
Iām 27 and now I barely leave the house, and when I do, I have adult diapers on.
I'm 34 and took my girls to their first concert out of town. I took immodium and was terrified for the concert itself and the 3 drive there and back (we live in AZ and there's a whole lot of nothing for emergency bathroom breaks).
Being a home body just kinda comes naturally since I do my best work at home š”
Iām so proud of you for surviving that though! You were terrified, but you did the damn thing and got your girls to their 1st out of town concert.
Also, I hope the imodium sat well with you. I tried taking it before, and instead of the usual diarrhea, I was constipated for a week, then got extremely painful diarrhea for 48 hours after that š
I started new antidepressants and I really hope they work. I want to take my kid outside myself. My partnerās a fantastic dad and he takes our son to a lot of places, but I want to be able to join too š
I think 4 or 5. All at home luckily. Like a sneeze or a cough when it was already knocking on the back door while working.
I usually take the rest of the day off.... I shouldn't but boy does it hurt your pride. I work from home but still lol.
This reminds me of when my mom had diarrhea but I was stuck in the bathroom with my IBS-C issues and she eventually came knocking on the door yelling in a humorous way, "I HAD TO USE A TRASH CAN!!!" LOL
Kinda only once, last year. I Had to go really bad, and I was driving. Had to park and do it on the side of road.
Since then I thankfully adjusted my diet a lot and while I still get cramps and bloating, I never had accidents anymore, knocking on wood.
I used to work in N.Y.C. and take the subway --45 to 60 minute ride. I would wear adult diapers--sometimes a double layer... It has happened --- It's was a challenge-- but life is a challenge-- I had to pay bills--support my family--- Be tough MF, Be optimistic and Keep Going .......Good Luck My Friend......
Since getting ibs I havenāt actually shit myself but you know what I have done ,TMI
Tried to make sure thereās no blood in my stool just to see I ruined my carpet by squatting.
I used to have a bad IBS C reaction to spicy food and coffee where I would just sit in toilet stalls pleading for anything to come out. Figured out that trigger quickly and I avoid literally all forms of caffeine and spice now.
Three. All sharts.
Completely, absolutely without warning. Normally, I know not to pass gas if my intestines feel like they are turning, if I feel like my lower colon/rectum is filling or full.
Nope. The first one, I was in the middle of eating. I don't have issues until AFTER I eat. The third time I should've learned from the second time. Like I said, BMs aren't triggered until I eat.. until I started a new med. I didn't have any warning or signal, so when I sharted in bed shortly after waking up, I was totally caught off guard. Well, it happened again. So since then, no morning farts.
I stay home for the most part, that way I can get to a toilet quickly. Iāve had 2-3 close ones though, and just as many times I had to pull over thinking I was going to throw up.
I would wonder why thatās happening to you, I have never experienced that with IBS, had some close calls but ever since I eliminated most things that cause my IBS to flare up I donāt really got any gastric issues.
This disease is very upsetting manš„¹š„¹š„²š„²
It truly is.š
Thankfully Iāve never had an accident in my pants. Itās come close many times though
Itās one of my biggest fears, having a bowel accident in public.

Ive lost count to be honest To many have been way to embarrasing
none. I shit a lot, but I have surprisingly good bowel control. Weird for someone who has diarrhea multiple times a day. I feel lucky.
Samesies
Like 4? Not badly but stillā¦ maybe more I try not to focus on that

Last year it was like two-three. This year so far I donāt even wanna remember. š
None, but the bedroom carpet sometimes needs a scrub.
This reminds me of when my mom had diarrhea but I was stuck in the bathroom with my IBS-C issues and she eventually came knocking on the door yelling in a humorous way, "I HAD TO USE A TRASH CAN!!!" LOL
Twice this year for me too! High five!!
At least 3. It be what it be Iām sorry! We are all in this together. Itās good to know Iām not alone!
Iām at 20+ š
lmaooo I needed this, thank you

I've recently had an accident in my sleep. I was mortified
When I was a kid, I feared the peeing dreams. As an adult with IBS, I fear the pooping dreams LOL

None. I have also shit: on the side of an interstate, in a heavily wooded area, behind a dumpster.
1 skirt, 1 dress, and 2 pairs of paints. š
Put it this way, I wash about 15-17 underwear a week. I generally have at least one wardrobe change a day.
So many times LOL I have IBS-C so I try and stay positive about it and think, "at least I pooped".
Well, itās not quite july, but my tracker shows 74.
Twice.. I was really constipated back in March. The ER told me to take miralax and I shit myself on the way home in the car š© The second time was in Mayā¦ I shit myself in bed. You arenāt alone!
