Do you ever feel like you push too much poo out!!!

[Maureen1958]

I know this probably sounds a stupid question but I'm asking it anyway. Do you sometimes go poo and more comes out than you expected and then you feel worse than you did before you went. I feel like this quite often. Am I the only person in the world that feels like this?

Yeah I get this and sometimes my stomach spasms afterwards which is painful.

At least I am not the only one then. Thanks for replying.

My boyfriend (who has no diagnosed tummy issues) tends to have one BM a day and always says he feels sick and washed out afterwards cos he passes so much out. I always find that odd cos surely you should feel cleansed and better to get rid of it. Really interesting that you get the same thing. Hmmmm...... Poor you xx

That's odd that your boyfriend should feel like too if he has no diagnosed tummy issues isn't it and thank you for your reply.

It is!! How long afterwards do you feel rough? Do you not get a sense of relief for passing it? x

[Maureen1958 in reply to Stupid_poos]

It can be hours, today was about 6 hours. It has just changed so much over the years and has just taken over my life. Had it over 30 years now, daily for the last 25 years. I do get momentary relief but then I just feel like I still need to go almost immediately.

Awwww I didn’t realise that from your original message - I thought you meant a lot happens in one go and then its that which makes you feel grotty (sorry, silly me)! Yes - horrible. I do get that often with my IBS 😞 x

Yes i feel washed out and headachy for up to two days afterwards. The rest of the time i have constipation.

[Maureen1958 in reply to casares8]

Wow that's a long time! We all have a hard time don't we. Thanks for replying, it helps to know you are not alone.

What needs to come out has to come out and you should be glad for it. I strive to have an empty stomach and with constipation which I manage, I am always pleased if I have been to the toilet properly. It may be you get cramps but this can’t be from emptying properly.
