big girl poops (tmit)


as we aaaaaall know, i've had issues with dot, dot, dot my pooper. well not my pooper but the stuff that leads up to the pooper. well not the stuff that lead up to my pooper, my actual entire body. yes, i have issues with my entire body. it sucks. it doesn't like gluten. like, not at all.

it wasn't until i moved in with my lovah chuck that i really realized that running immediately to the twalette to poo my entire guts out complete with spasms and everything after eating a slice of pizza wasn't normal. who knew? you see, before moving in with a smelly boy i ate a lot better. i ate green things and "fresh things" and not so much with the three day pizza and booze benders. i mean i ate pizza and i had to bathroom it up BUT not to that extent.

then chuck said, "what's wrong with you?" and i said, "nothing! sometimes i have trouble with bready things." chuck said, "nope. that's not normal."

dude! it's not. here is my PSA! my service to humanity! my moment to shine in life! thanks to alli's question, i know my purpose in the world. and it is this sentence, that is coming up. right here. coming up next:


if you have diarrhea everyday that is NOT normal. you need to get that shit checked out. (see what i did there?)



so that's what i did and found out i was allergic to "gluten." oh, and not dairy (thank you jesus!). to add to my allergy to figs. and latex. and penicillin. aaaaaaaaaand oh just a shitload of other things.

now they know how to kill me. bad move.

anywhooo, i stopped eating that shitzle. after having the rooons for simply years i really didn't have a "feel" for what i've deemed "big girl poops." think about it: i just sat. it all came out. wipe and i'm out. streamlined. now i've got to have things to do in there. i mean s.i.t.t.i.n.g. for what seems like a long time. just sitting letting things move on out. it's frickin boring, y'all. how do you do that? for reals. do you people have tvs in your bathrooms?

should i get one of those stools? would that speed things along? cheese and rice, you guys. i have shit to do! a lot of shit! and shit is taking my valuable time to do other shit. and shit. na wuttum sayin, pal? i need advice. i have like three books in the bee room. or as i like to call it the broom. big chunks of time sucked away down the toilet.

i don't know what to do with myself. the other thing is, well, i don't like the way it feels. it's too much. it feels like it should be at least three to four feet long and then i look into the water and it's like a little nug. stumpy. "where's the rest of it?" i'll say to myself. it's hiding! but it's not, dangit. i just spent like, HOURS in there, sitting, doing nothing. all for naught. all for stumpy. i'm going to invent "not pooping." oh, wait that's a colostomy bag. and that's gross. well, not if you have to have one, then it's probably pretty great. but for me, it's probably just gross. yeah. pretty sure. right?


ps it is disturbing how many children are being photographed on the toilet. yeech. goal for future children: no pictures published on the internet of my child pooping. the research i'll do for pictures for my chillens (that means you guys) for blooog posts. i'm an american hero.



you can blame this altogether to much information and the lovely talented lilu and read some other biz here (where they aaaaall are for you! from the lilu)

Ok, so I read this not knowing what to expect and might I say that I'm disturbed but slightly facinated lol. How could you not know that it wasn't normal????

ps. I love reading a magazine or a book. I cannot believe that I said that but what the hay, it's all in the spirit of TMI!

SassyLittleGinger said...

i poop a lot too. everything goes right through me.

actually, you know what are awesome? Uncle John's Bathroom Reader books. They're filled with random stories about historical figures and all kinds of random things, and I've learned a lot from reading them while on the john waiting for business to pass through. I learned the history of the toothbrush and the history of bathing, plus a ton of other crap. Seriously, these books are great. they make the time much less boring. oh, and you could always get a nintendo DS and play games on there, that's always fun. yes, i am dead serious. i do this regularly so i feel your pain. :)

I have two kids and a clingy wife. That time I spend in the bathroom with a book or a gameboy is my time, bitches. I enjoy it so much. So, I'm in no hurry to leave. Usually by the time my legs fall asleep and I can't walk, I know it's time to get up.

Oh, and I'm allergic to hops. Think about how great THAT is.

katiedotcom said...

i love lima beans.

I think I've commented saying that before.

I had a real bad problem with my insides for a while, but it was because I used to hold in in until I go to my house. This was whether I was a block away or a state away. I ended up getting a bacterial infection with fucking radioactive green colored poo.

It wasn't pretty. Well, in the right light it was. It's now the color of my bedroom.

Organic Meatbag said...

I pooped a hammer...

Alice said...

hey! i know! you should get a nintento ds or something, so you can play video games while in there. that's totally accomplishing something!

Lora said...

I love reading about poop. Way more than anyone should love reading about poop.

I have some, well, body issues too. Having the runs every day is totally not normal, but so much more cleansing and convenient than the sitting and waiting kind of pooping.

And as relieved about a potty trained child as I am, there are no potty pics of my boy. I find it weird too.

Jill Pilgrim said...

Oh Becky, I feel your pain. With my recent discovery that I'm allergic to dairy its been a frigging circus over here.

E said...

I love that you wrote about poop. People try too hard to pretend no one else ever poops. Please, do they even know how much bitchier I would be if I didn't poop on the regular?! Word.

Oh and sometimes I like to take my laptop with me, then I can read blogs or play a game or continue an IM conversation, etc.

I wish you happy pooping. 'Cause everyone poops.

E said...

Oh and P.S. My mom totally had a colostomy bag for several months after her appendix ruptured and her body turned spectic and something happened to her intestines (it was years ago, I was traumatized and have tried to block the memory). It was so NOT awesome and WAY gross...even to her.

It happened when she was visiting me at college. We like to joke with her: "I went to Idaho and all I got was a second asshole." Yeah, my family is awesome like that.

LiLu said...

"do you people have tvs in your bathrooms?"

Best. Idea. EVER!!!

Nikki said...

darling...you need an iphone so you can watch youtube videos. I think that's what my husband does. I think I'm allergic to gluten damn it!

liferehab said...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! I typically have runniness and I started taking fiber and I'd have to sit there for hours to go potty. So I stopped taking fiber and now I'm back to my quick runs. It might not be healthy, but it's convenient. (also, laxatives make it even quicker.)

repliderium.com said...

Silly girl- all of that extra time is for coming up with future blog posts (or playing cats cradle, or plotting to take over the world.)

AngelaBeth said...

My sister has celiac too and can't eat gluten so we're trying out buttloads of recipes to make sure they're good.. we'll have to pass them along to you/post them on my blog when we're farther along. Because gluten-free people still deserve hella good chocolate chip cookies and brownies.

Me, I've got the opposite problem. I don't poop NEARLY enough. What is wrong WITH ME?!

The Vegetable Assassin said...

Is it wrong that I laughed so hard I pulled something? Nothing can beat the mental image I have right now of you sitting on the TWALETTE looking around you and humming and going "when the FUCK is this thing going to arrive?"

Sophie said...

Oh dear, Becky! I don't know what I'd do if I had GI issues. To be honest, I often get bored while peeing. Sometimes I'll just decide I'm done peeing because I'm so bored and then I'll talk myself back down because, well, my bladder has not completed its void. Wow, that was a lot of TMI for a comment...

Gabby said...

I'm all about taking my blackberry with me and playing brickbreaker.

Ahaha this is TMI for me, I'm not used to it!

mylittlebecky said...

fay- you get used to it, man.

sls- i'm so bad at those things... i will have to check out those books though!

tIm- ok, first of all, i am only one bitch. second of all you and chuck should form a club. the toilet club. you guys could all meet in one huge bathroom. and talk about your sleepy legs. oh, and dude! i can't have any GOOD beer either!

katie- oh, yeah. i do that too. chuck finally forced me to poo in the same house with him about a year into the relationship. i like my own broom only.

om- you did no such thing!

alice- dude! i am so bad at video games. bad. laptop's pushing it though, huh?

lora- i KNOW! and way to go with the kid!

jill- dooood, that sucks so hard. i don't think i could handle that like at all!

e- pooping's for lovers! and you should totally get that on a t-shirt! (the second asshole thing. althooough, "pooping's for lovers" would be good as well)

lilu- we should start a business!

nikki- i so totally need an iphone! another good reason! oh noes! gluten strikes again!

life- hmmmmm, laxatives, eh?

repli- oh, THAT'S what it's for... and instead of those snooty iphone people who's stuff is signed "from my iphone" i can sign stuff "from my twalette!" because i'm classy. brilliant!

angelab- i've heard tell of "good" gluten free cookies, i've yet to have any in my mouth... i'm willing to try again!

mylittlebecky said...

oopsicle! more:
veggie- if that's wrong, i don't want to be right.

sophie- bodily functions in general make me angry. waste of time, i say! peeing, espesh if you're trying to be "healthy" and drinking "water" is just annoying!

gabby- i need a cooler phone i tell you! sounds like a good birthday present! chuck?

Fizzgig said...

i can relate to not knowing its normal...im probably allergic to meat, every time i eat it i get the poops. but i always thought its cus sometimes i dont eat it for a week or two, and when i do it makes my stomach angry.

they make some good gluten free stuff. i eat that, and sugar free stuff cus of calories.

I fluctuated between nausea and laughter while reading this. :D

Brittney said...

LOL I am the same way. Mine is MSG and caffiene. My friend Jamie, however, discovered she has celiac disease so I feel your gluten pain!

Seth M. Ward said...

My balls itch and my asshole smells like shit:~/

Seth M. Ward said...

Oh, and a second thought too. If you have corn in your shit and you haven't ate corn in months......yeah.....get that checked out too.

My word verification is dricabba....now that sounds like a medically shit related word too......WHAT IN THE CORN BREAD HELL IS GOING ON!?!

oh, rebecca. said...

I do love green beans.

As I loved this post. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it didn't make me poop (which is good).

I have "The Issues" too but... not all the time. So. I don't know. Gluten just tastes so awse.

<3

drollgirl said...

lord you have a lot of allergies and that sucks!!!

i am not sure what is up w/yer poop situation. i am generally in and out of the bathroom in 1-2 minutes, including a handwashing! my bf, however, is in there for a good 5-20 minutes, complete with computer or car magazines to help him while away the time. ugh! gross!

maybe you need some more fiber? i am no doctor! humph! if you have health insurance, maybe your doctor or a nutritionist could give some advice?!?!? i hope so!

miss. chief said...

this was weird. it was definitely TMI but at the same time we can all relate. nice work.
:)
i have never had to sit on the toilet long enough to get bored, but one of dr.claw's kids is in there for a freaking hour sometimes. i think he just likes hanging out by himself. maybe i'll ask him what he does in there to while away the time for you.

mylittlebecky said...

fizzi- SOME is good. a miniscule portion of it is alright. but mostly it tries to make you THINK it will be good.

pop- well, then.

pma- yeah, it's pretty grossness.

brittney- msg and caffeine no likey me either. blah. thank you for your support.

seth- that is too cool. thanks for the tip as well.

oh, me. i mean not me. someone else whose name is like my name- they are fabulous. i know, gluten is a bastard who is crispy and delicious and i want a pizza right now!

dg- it does suck. i wonder if fiber would help. i do eat a lot of fibery foods but that is a good idea! car magazines! why didn't i think of that?

mizz- an hour? i would die! you should ask him.

S.S. said...

have you tried drinking prune juice? it's really good for bowel movement. or also taking a tablespoon of olive oil, straight up. sidenote: lavabars are gluten free and they look quite delicious, have you ever tried them? they're in the quasi-organic section of the grocery store

Zan said...

I don't know much about gluten allergies (even though I kinda wish I were allergic 'cuz then I could quit eating so much bread and effin' pasta...), but I know it's much harder for me to poop now that I've quit smoking. Something about a cigarette makes everything a lot easier to...ahem...pass.

Mr. Apron said...

Oooooh, so the runs all day every day is not normal?

Jesus. Thank God I read blogs.

Alli said...

i'm allergic to all kinds of things too, and it sucks! pineapple, apple, almonds, hazelnuts, pollen, and all kinds of furry animals. i basically live on allergy pills. go health!
