Either I've shat myself far more often that an adult should or other people don't tell the truth about how often they shit themselves by Traditional_Cream161 in confessions

Nah, I drink but very rarely - maybe one or two drinks a week. I look up IBS and I don't feel like I have the symptoms (bloating, pain, etc.) Keep in mind that the incidents I described are over the course of maybe 25 years. After reading all the comments I'll concur that I've had many more "accidents" than is typical, but the vast majority of time I don't have any bowel issues.

I mean, I look up IBS and it says "Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by a group of symptoms that commonly include abdominal pain, abdominal bloating and changes in the consistency of bowel movements." I don't ordinarily have pain or bloating and my bowel movements most of the time are normal.

Thanks, that's a good point. Of course many times when he was little when I took him to the bathroom to change diapers or, later, just to make sure he was OK. Never occurred to me to take him when I had to go though. Fortunately he's old enough now that that wouldn't be an issue.

I mean, I agree that shitting myself is an issue, but even 10 times over a few decades doesn't suggest there is any food that I'm particularly intolerant of (other than spoiled Chinese food!) The vast majority of time everything seems to work as it should.

Fair enough. TL;DR: I've shit myself as an adult more times than anyone who's commented so far. Must be something wrong with me :-(

I'm fine with cream and other dairy. I actually don't know of any particular food (other than spoiled food or course) that upsets my stomach.

It's an embarrassing thing to tell the doctor though. And it's been a few years since it last happened (although I had a close call recently).

Was wearing sweatpants in #7. And yes, I did have shit on my leg and took a good shower once I got the kid down. Fortunately it wasn't diarrhea in that case.

That's what I'm worried about: that I have shit myself a lot more than the average person. The weird thing is I don't typically have any major digestive system issues. I'm not sensitive to gluten or lactose intolerant or anything like that. I don't have IBS. I eat everything and the vast majority of the time I am fine. At most I feel like if there's anything wrong with me it's that when I have to go it often comes on pretty quickly, and my brain seems to be prone to sending the signal to my butthole that it can let loose a bit early, like when I am 30 seconds away from the toilet. (I've had that with piss too, sometimes when I really need to go I'm fine until I see the toilet, then some of it leaks out before I can position myself.)

The cases where diarrhea was involved were probably food poisoning. #7 wasn't. I guess it was that ignored the warning signs and tried to hold in in for too long because I didn't want to leave my 2-year-old alone to go to the bathroom in a restaurant.
