My great gma used to run a nursing home and she would always give people with diarrhea an enema because she said that’s usually cuz there is a hard blockage somewhere and it used to work!

Yes after a severe bout of constipation I have diarrhea

I’ve had this. Was constipated for almost 3 weeks. It’s not fun! Glad Doc Schmidt is out there educating.

My dad had that. He ended up with 7 pounds of fossilized poop that stretched his colon to the point of almost tearing! This allowed some of the materials to pass by this mass but it also infiltrated into his blood stream giving him sepsis. It took several enemas and other softeners to help him pass these stones. Nobody had any idea because most times it was gas pressure. It just goes to show you can't tell what's happening inside without procedures ruling out other causes

I get this fairly regularly - glad there's a name for it! Mixed IBS is so much fun! XD

Wish my doctors had known this … I had had overflow incontinence, and I told them that was what it was like, only fecal. No one knew what I was talking about . Or they thought I didn’t. I went through months of misery . they really weren’t interested .

I don't know whether to be thankful or disappointed - Keep up the good work ❤

That is so true! My mother in law had to take pain meds after her knee replacement. This exact situation happened. Poor thing. What ended it was, a powdered laxative that went into her drinks twice a day.

This is definitely an interesting one to watch while eating 😅

My friend almost died from this. She was vomiting bile. She had to have surgery to save her.

I've been so severely constipated before. I don't even know how this is possible. Never have I ever had diarrhea. Move around a blockage. I don't know how that is possible and yes. I have had severe constipation been dealing with my whole life. I also have gastrophrases, so basically everything. In my digestive tract is slow yet. I don't know what this is. People have talked about it. My doctors have mentioned it.

I remember a time when I was really constipated, and after I got out the main piece that was actually hard, a ton of diarrhea came out afterwards, and I wondered if it was because the main poop had all the water sucked out, but the diarrhea was so high up my body couldn't begin dehydrating it into more solid poop

Also sorry if this is tmi, just figured it was an acceptable video to post this to lmao

This has been me for like, 5 years. Rip my colon :(

I believe it's called spurious diarrhoea
