I know this isn't the forum for this question but I figured I can trust my fellow CRT members and guests to help me out with something so I'm posting here. If this is against the rules, sorry in advance.

For the past 6 days I have been having hard time getting ANY solid stool to come out. I ate dinner 6 days ago and worked out and ever since then I can't get solid stools. I run to the bathroom many times a day to find out nothing at all comes out, gas or runny brownish stool. My stomach constantly makes growling sound. I drink a lot of plum juice a day hoping that helps digestion. I do not have any pain in my stomach. Is anyone here a doctor that can help me with this problem?

Take a mild laxative, wait 24 hours.
If no help it's time to go to the DR.

Paging Californicationdewd!!!!!!!

Could be Scurvy.. Have you traveled lately? If not then maybe Salmonella. Best to go see the Doctor, you can become dehydrated which can cause a host of problems. I am a Mechanical Contractor and not a Doctor.

So, basically, you are looking for a Floater...


Try a bowl of CR Gallo Pinto at the Sportmans and then retire to the newly remodeled facilities......

Also, a few slugs of Diacort would not hurt.


Now, I know that there is a lot of embellishment that occurs on this group and I am aware that a small number of things are perhaps sheer fabrication, but I have a story to tell that is the absolute truth. Funniest damn thing that has ever happened to me.

A couple of weeks ago we decided to cruise out to Ryan's Steakhouse for dinner. It was a Wednesday night which means that macaroni and beef was on the hot bar, indeed the only night of the week that it is served. Wednesday night is also K*D's night at Ryan's, complete with Dizzy the Clown wandering from table to table entertaining the little bastards. It may seem that the events about to be told have little connection to those two circumstances, but all will be clear in a moment.

We went through the line and placed our orders for the all-you-can-eat hot bar then sat down as far away from the front of the restaurant as possible in order to keep the density of K*ds down a bit. Then I started my move to the hot bar.

Plate after plate of macaroni and beef were consumed that evening, I tell you-in all, four heaping plates of the pseudo-Italian ambrosia were shoved into my belly. I was sated.

Perhaps a bit too much, however. I had not really been feeling well all day, what with a bit of gas and such. By the time I had eaten four overwhelmed plates of food, I was in real trouble.

There was so much pressure on my diaphragm that I was having trouble breathing. At the same time, the downward pressure was building. At first, I thought it was only gas which could have been passed in batches right at the table without too much concern.

Unfortunately, that was not to be. After a minute or so it was clear that I was dealing with explosive diarrhea. It's amazing how grease can make its way through your intestines far faster than the food which spawned the grease to begin with, but I digress...

I got up from the table and made my way to the bathroom. Upon entering, I saw two sinks immediately inside the door, two urinals just to the right of the sinks, and two toilet stalls against the back wall. One of them was a handicapped bathroom. Now, normally I would have gone to the handicapped stall since I like to stretch out a bit when I take a good shit, but in this case, the door lock was broken and the only thing I hate worse than my wife telling me to stop cutting my toenails with a pair of diagonal wire cutters is having someone walk in on me while I am taking a shit. I went to the normal stall.

In retrospect, I probably should have gone to the large, handicapped stall even though the door would not lock because that bit of time lost in making the stall switch proved to be a bit too long under the circumstances. By the time I had walked into the regular stall, the pressure on my ass was reaching Biblical proportions.

I began "The Move."

Men know exactly what their bowels are up to at any given second. And when the time comes to empty the cache, a sequence of physiological events occur that cannot be stopped under any circumstances.

There is a move men make that involves simultaneously approaching the toilet, beginning the body turn to position ones ass toward said toilet, hooking ones fingers into ones waistline, and pulling down the pants while beginning the squat at the same time. It is a very fluid motion that, when performed properly, results in the flawless expulsion of shit at the exact same second that one’s ass is properly placed on the toilet seat.

Done properly, it even assures that the choad is properly inserted into the front rim of the toilet in the event that the piss stream lets loose at the same time; it is truly a picture of coordination rivaling that of a skilled ballet dancer.

I was about half-way into "The Move" when I looked down at the floor and saw a pile of vomit that had been previously expelled by one of those little bastards attending K*ds night; it was mounded up in the corner so I did not notice it when I had first walked into the stall.

Normally, I would not have been bothered by such a thing, but I had eaten so much and the pressure upward was so intense, that I hit a rarely experienced gag reflex. And once that reflex started, combined with the intense pressure upward caused by the bloated stomach, four plates of macaroni and beef started coming up for a rematch. What happened next was so quick that the exact sequence of events are a bit fuzzy, but I will try to reconstruct them as best I can.

In that moment of impending projectile vomiting, my attention was diverted from the goings-on at the other end. To put a freeze frame on the situation, I was half crouched down to the toilet, pants pulled down to my knees, with a load of vomit coming up my esophagus.

Now, most of you know that vomiting takes precedence over shit no matter what is about to come slamming out of your ass. It is apparently an evolutionary thing since shitting will not kill you, but vomiting takes a presence of mind to accomplish so that you do not aspirate any food into the bronchial tubes and perhaps choke to death.

My attention was thus diverted.

At that very split second, my ass exploded in what can only be described as a wake...you know, as in a newspaper headline along the lines of "30,000 Killed In Wake of Typhoon Fifi" or something similar.

In what seemed to be most suitably measured in cubic feet, an enormous plug of shit the consistency of thick mud with embedded pockets of greasy liquid came flying out of my ass. But remember, I was only half-way down on the toilet at that moment. The shit wave was of such force and of just such an angle in relation to the back curve of the toilet seat that it ricocheted off the back of the seat and slammed into the wall at an angle of incidence equal to the angle at which it initially hit the toilet seat. Then I sat down.

Recall that when that event occurred, I was already half-way to sitting anyway and had actually reached the point of no return. I have always considered myself as relatively stable gravitationally, but when you get beyond a certain point, you're going down no matter how limber you may be.

Needless to say, the shit wave, though of considerable force, was not so sufficient so as to completely glance off the toilet seat and deposit itself on the walls, unlike what you would see when hitting a puddle with a high-pressure water hose; even though you throw water at the puddle, the puddle gets moved and no water is left to re-form a puddle. There was a significant amount of shit remaining on about one-third of the seat rim which I had now just collapsed upon.

Now, back to the vomit...

While all the shitting was going on, the vomit was still on its way up. By the time I had actually collapsed on the toilet, my mouth had filled up with a goodly portion of the macaroni and beef I had just consumed.

OK, so what does the human body instinctively do when vomiting? One bends over. So I bent over. I was still sitting on the toilet, though.

Therefore, bending over resulted in me placing my head above my now slightly-opened legs, positioned in between my knees and waist. Also directly above my pants which were now pulled down to a point just midway between my knees and my ankles.

Oh, did I mention that I was wearing not just pants, but sweat pants with elastic on the ankles.

In one mighty push, some three pounds of macaroni and beef, two or three Cokes, and a couple of Big, Fat Yeast Rolls were deposited in my pants...on the inside...with no ready exit at the bottom down by my feet.

In the next several seconds, there were a handful of farts, a couple of turds, and the event ended, yet I was now sitting there with my pants full of vomit, my back covered in shit that had bounced off the toilet, spattered on three ceramic-tiled walls to a height of about five feet, and still had enough force to come back at me, covering the back of my shirt with droplets of liquid shit. All while thick shit was spread all over my ass in a ring curiously in the shape of a toilet seat…And there was no phucking toilet paper !!!

Prunes aren't just any old dried plums...

From reading the Wikipedia entries on Plum and Prune, and investigating some of the sites linked to from them, it appears that prunes are a specific species of plum that is easy to dry. Thus, prune juice comes from this type of plum, whereas plum juice (which does exist) is made from other species of plum. The type of plum that prunes come from has more fiber than other plums (I suspect this is also what makes it easier to dry). Since fiber is not digested by the Human body, eating foods or drinks with a lot of fiber helps to "clean out" your digestive system.

Get to the doctor quick. Your ass is stopped up for some reason. When I say stopped up. You possibly, probably have a combination of things going on within your digestive system. Defintely dont want to take chances on listening to amateur doctors. If you keep trying to figure it out on your own it is going to end badly my friend.


back in 2006 i think. trying to really forget. one night not being able to shit went on for about three days. I was taking laxetivos and trying everything. I was so uncomfortable I thought I was going to burst. I even tried enemas. No luck. Slowly this turned to a stabbing pain in the the abdominal areas of my body. After about 5 days of this and a misdiagnosis of gas by Primary Doctor I had to be rushed to the emergency in fetal position crying like a biach because I reall y thought this is it (THE HORRIBLE PAIN THAT YOU FEEL LIKE RIGHT BEFORE YOU DIE!) for kidney stones so small you could not see them with a nekked eye. Three stones so small that they had to be picked up on a catscan($1,000.00)!

I don't wish that pain on my worst enemigos my friend.

The kidney stones kept my bowels from moving and digestion was halted, dehydration, pain, inability to take a shit!

thats all my friend

we should continue this thread in the safety health security section

fittie
:shock:

Cdude, I laughed so hard that I almost shat in MY pants. An awesome post in all of its scatological glory.
Now back to the problem at hand, it could be just a fecal impaction or at worst a bowel obstruction, which could have many causes. It is probably best dealt with by a doc. In the meantime try drinking lots of water and some alcohol, red wine is best, in my experience. Please let us know how it all comes out. :)
