Constant Need to Defecate Causes Pain and Smell

Posted by JH2010

The muscles in my rectum don't seem to hold stool while its accumulating for a normal BM, so I constantly have waste dropping into my rectum. The result is I always feel the need to go to the bathroom, and usually smell like feces. I have 6-8 small BMs every day, that are usually hard to get out because there's not much to push out.

I'm negative on Chron's, colitis, parasites, and all food allergies. I don't have IBS, and it doesn't make much difference what I eat. I usually eat very healthy food just to keep up overall health. But when I do eat junk food I actually feel better because I feel constipated up in my bowels instead of having waste in my rectum.

Like I said I eat very healthy. Fiber1 with cranberries and skim milk for breakfast. No lunch. Chicken or turkey with vegetables for dinner. I take probiotics and multivitamins daily, am not overweight, jog four days a week, have never been outside the US, am straight and never have any kind of anal sex. I'm mostly very healthy.

I've seen people talk about similar problems on this site and others, but nobody has been able to give any information about what causes it or what to do about it.

I can't get help from doctors. All they say is I'm negative on the problems I listed and they tell me its just because I have high stress. I'm stressed because I'm sick, not sick because I'm stressed! Its not even stress related. Sometimes when I have high stress I feel better, and sometimes when I'm relaxing I feel worse.

Its gotten so bad I think I might want a colostomy just to not spend 3 hours a day in the bathroom and constantly worry about how I smell. Some people say you still smell with a colostomy, and other people say you don't. Can somebody please set the record straight? Can you live an ok life with a bag? Cause I'm not living now. Or if anyone has any solution better than major surgery, please help. I just turned 26 and I've been sick since I was 22. I can't take much more of this.

Posted by melisawoosley

Let me start off saying that I hated my mother for this, because she would never be there for me through this, only to come to the conclusion years later that she probably couldn't...just like me. When I was a little girl I remember sitting straight up in my bed after letting an "eggy" burp and vomiting all over myself. Then the diarrhea starts. All of this is accompanied by a terrible gut wrenching pain, of course. The smells of the burps were enough my mother could smell it from another room, she'd open my bedroom door just in time to watch me puke. But my mother could never be in the room right there unless 100,000,000,000% necessary because of how sick it would make her. (Apparently she has this problem also) Now, several years later, my 6 y/o daughter goes through the same thing and has for a year or two. Tonight I wake up to her covered in vomit and pee (She hasn't peed the bed since she was 3!) and her room reeks to the point that I physically cannot enter! The smell brought on the pain in my stomach. I ran to get my husband, yeah that was a joke, he was sleeping sound! So I was on my own and got her to the couch, but not w/o our fair share of troubles! She has changed her panties 4 times because of diarrhea and already vomited on my living room floor. I'm 24 years old and the closest diagnosis they have for me is a bad gall bladder, and I went to take it out, and my insurance fell through so I'm not sure if it will solve my problem or not. Thats where the pain lies, and you can guarantee when I go in to an Emergency Room with this pain and they do an ultrasound of my gall bladder it will show that it is full of sludge. (But! On a normal day, my gall bladder is fine) What can I do! I've never even heard of a 6 y/o having a gall bladder removed! I cannot fathom her having the same life as me and my mom with this. It is utterly life changing and rules you. When you are sick with this, there is nothing you can do. The best meds I have found is Tagament and sleep. I need help PLEASE!!!!View Thread
