I love that we can post our most intimate BM details here! hee hee 
Anyway, any Cers out there, when you do finally go...have you ever had HUGE BMs?! I am a pretty small person, and sometimes my solid BMS are so big (more in terms of length--sorry!). Maybe that is what has been festering up there for some time!!!
Sorry for any gross details!!

I'm IBS-A, but I know what you mean. Sometimes, I think, "My goodness. That was all in ME!!?"

Yes! I've had that problem, too. It's so strange. My parents used to be shocked at the huge bm's I'd have when I was just a little girl. I haven't had that problem much at all since taking Miralax daily, maybe because I go more often than I used to (once almost every day).
I once told a doctor about the huge bms, but after a colonoscopy found no physical problems, I didn't ask any follow-up questions.

Thanks for the replies! HAHA! Yes, I wonder if that just is due to the intestional back-up. But, as you said, it is a feat! haha!
Thanks!!

Yep. I actually find it very rewarding, especially the nice, clean feeling you get after going. I must have YEARS worth of stuff inside me because I have a big BM almost every 2 days and I go (usually) every day.

Hi Jessica!!
THanks, everyone, for sharing. Yes, it is rewarding bec I am so thrilled to get the poo poo out! I think, for me at least, it is adding in more natural fibers in forms of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. If I have "white" products in excess or not enough IFs as above, then I become even more constipated!!!

What whole grains can you tolerate? And are you eating your fruits and veggies with the skin?
Are you not taking any SFS, just doing this with foods?

Hi Beth,
Thanks for your email! Yes, I take Benefiber but, honestly, try to get most of my fiber from teh foods I eat. I always try to have some soluber fiber prior to eating my IF (either whole grain breads, english muffins, wraps, etc. or veggies/fruits). I do still have some gas/bloating, but that is there regardless given my mechanical issues with my pelvis/tooshie. I m worse off C-wise if I don't have those whoel grains and IFs in my diet-plus, they are so important for overall health. I don't remove skins, but I do cook/steam all my veggies and always have my solubles first (e.g., carrots, mushrooms, squash, etc.). Plus, I take my Beano beforehand, too.
Hope this is helpful!
