Thanks for the advice. And the laugh! I'll keep this in mind next month. My sister's a witch. Maybe she can cast a spell to exorcise the butt demons. :-)

I think Poonurse is on to something with the demon thang. Go to the library and look up a book on Hieronymous Bosch (an artist back in the 16th century) and you'll see what I mean!

Of course I'm right. Everyone knows about period demons.

tsv, i get horrible diarrhea when it's that time of the month also. i like the idea of an exorcism. how the hell do you go about finding a priest that does one?? period demons, be damned!!!!!!

Period demons. Heh heh!

If you also get cramps during your period, a likely culprit are prostaglandins. They play a role in any uterine contraction, from the normal slight contractions that expel the menstrual flow, to the massive ones that push out a baby. Producing too much can cause painful cramping, and it can also affect the intestines, causing nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. I speak from experience. >.

Hi,
My theory, as a similarly affected female, is that during that special time of the month your body's digestion slows, as it does during pregnancy, so that all possible bits of nutrition is absorbed from the food and into the body. therefore stinky farts result (my sister and I call them period farts) and the poo is expelled in a different /shape/form/color/viscosity than usual because of it is being handled by the body differently AND because your eating habits at this time are probably different than usual (more chocolate, ...advil....creamed corn bran muffins and espresso...)
hope this helps,
Jen

I always get constipated right before my period. It is, so to speak, a _bummer. I can take all the fiber I want, and it does no good, until the cramps from my period start the pooping machine going again.

I poo noticably more than usual during my period and I just did a ggogle search to figure out why: this came top of the list! Glad I'm not the only one to experience such things, and now I have a couple of possibilities as to why it may be! Thank you!

I don't know anything about poop demons, but I do poop a lot MORE during my period, but it's not squishy or unusual. Just more frequent. I read somewhere that yes, your innards are just overzealous at this time of the month. Lovely.

I just did a google search aswell about this and found this site. During my period I poop and fart a lot more. The poo is also quite soft during this time. Then after my period is over, it's all back to normal again. Weird huh!

This has been a HUGE problem beginning when I first started getting my period 20 years ago. Getting older has helped relieve this problem a bit, though (logically) I have noticed when my appetite has been larger and I have eaten a lot during the month my periods and messy poops are much heavier and more plentiful! Being on the pill has relieved my cramps and bleeding, and relieved some of the messy poop problems. Maybe because our uterus' are getting cleaned out, our butts want to as well!?!

i have never really been big on poo but and was kinda worried there might be something terribly wrong and abnormal with me when i started pooing up to four times a day when i was on my period but this site has really helped thanks very much x x x x

Yep, same problem here. My poo seems to get really mushy during my period. It also smells worse, and i too have rancid smelling "period farts". It's gross.

Take motrin or something to get rid of that impending poo feeling--it really helps. I think the same prostaglandins that cause cramps 'migrate' away from the uterus and piss off the bowel too; motrin is a prostaglandin-inhibitor so this tends to help that feeling.
I tend to have very moody dumps this time of the month too, and the only reason I can think of for squishy poo is the fact that the rest of me is so water-logged and bloated, it just overflows into my colon to get rid of some of it.
Gosh it's fun to be a woman.

I was thinking of getting a hysterectomy.

Poop during your period is so gross and messy. I've always wondered why period poo is so disgustingly different than normal. Now I know.

Poop and female problems seem to go hand in hand, whether it's period, hormone imbalances, or reproduction.

you know ive always wondered y that was thanks 4 the info exorcism sounds the best bet n if all else fails colonic irigation is my next best advice

Memo to self: Bump post up in 28 days for poop princess

phew! I thought it was just me. glad to know that I'm not the only gas bag during "bill week".

I have often referred to this phenomenon as my "period poops" and my boyfriend (an otherwise open to poop-talk kind of guy) would just look at me like I was crazy! But today I learned, not only that prostaglandin hormones are to blame, but there are other documented reports of Period Poops!!! What a relief it is to know I'm not crazy.

There is no END to the things you can learn here! I have to add my nod, here. Me, too.

I just had a rather disgusting period poo and also googled it. thank fuck it's not just me. after reading the symptoms of TSS and one of them being the shits i've always been shit-scared. (hohoho)

I get these too, but I have a history of constipation. It's good to know that once a month, at the very least, my bowels will get a thorough evacuation. I find that the pain associated with the first day of period varies according to what time of day it starts. If it starts first thing in the morning, I'll be guaranteed pain until take some ibuprofin (the only time of the month when I use any kind of medication). If it starts in the evening, I have a chance of sleeping through the worst of it. Additionally, I get more pain if my period starts on the weekend, because I have more time to sit around and notice it.

Yes! Period Poo demons! Gosh I know all about those! That impending "need to dump" feeling comes in a package deal with cramping, wanting to pee every hour, the constant worry you've sprung a leak, feeling fat, bloated, pimply and moody...as if things couldn't get any worse! Count on your colon to want to mess with you at a time like this.

I feel like there's no point even leaving the loo when I'm on the rag!

I haven't really noticed what my poop is like around this time of month but the farting seriously has got to stop. No matter what I eat or don't eat, the week before my period, I start farting like crazy...really really smelly ones too which of course stinks up my room and annoys everyone at home. My mum keeps blaming beans but I'm not eating any and when I DO during other times of the month, there's no farting.

It happens...but how to stop it??!

Try an OTC med like Pamprin. Combined with Beano, maybe?

Recently I've had a nasty ulcer and I just started taking a perscribed anti-acid.When I woke up I went to the bathroom 3 timein about a 30 min period, i had somewhat solid waste. Then wheni flushed it broke into tiny peices, is that normal for it to break up in such a way? Also I had a salad last night and I couldn't read the menu b.c my eyes suck, and it had spinach I had like one bite, and realized it. What is the likelyhood of e. coli infection?

Yes! Finally! i've always wondered why this happens, and now I have an idea. Great site!

Ok girls, here is a great website for you: www.webmd.com/content/article/111/110062

This is the heading to the page: "Because of hormonal changes, diarrhea and cramps are very common just before the onset of flow."

You can also find many other sites on this topic by typing in "pms/bowel problems" in yahoo or google.

Born to clog your bog, with a giant log.

i cant believe theres a page on period poop!?! its good to know im not alone(in my sloppy period poos and in being curious enough to google the topic!) i also sometimes have a lack of activity leading up to the event. im otherwise very healthy and this is the only pms i really get,must be just those period demons. . .

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank God for my Y chromosome!

I'm not so sure anomalous, it's always worse if it's someone elses you're smelling!

Good to see my local sufferer is not alone.

haha, also googled poop and period. I've just noticed that while on my periods I'm more gassy and its actually sometimes painful to poop due to a huge buildup of gasses that get trapped somewhere, I dunno where, but feels like the same area as where I get cramps.
I always figured it was gas, but maybe it's the period demons...

Please help
when i pooped today a white blob appeared on the poop it was pure white, just wondering if you have any thoughts as to what this could be, Thanks,

My period farts got so bad this month my boyfriend slept on the couch and my pants now smell like skunk. I am not shitting you (holy pun). I've always known of this happening to other women, but have never known the reason. I like the leads we have thus far.

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one with this issue! I am constantly in the bathroom with my period always doing a number. I do drink lots of water - especially during this time and thought that that was the issue. Reading the box of Midol, I noticed that it is a diuritic. Do you think this has anything to do with it?

A dieuretic does NOT give you diahreah.

My friend and I also get the Period Poops and the Period Farts. I told her that I found your site and fell off my couch because I was laughing so hard. We thought we had the market cornered on the period language.

ok! so ive just spent the last week trying to run away from myself! i have no words to describe just how bad my farts get!
so anyway me and my (obviously close) friend lorrae have come to a conclusion that these smelly farts are most likely from ... i hate to say it.... chocolate! and i mean all types! milo.. nuttela... choc bars... even sugar sweets! see how you go next time when you cancel those product out for 2 or so weeks!
xx

You know, after being married to my husband for over 15 years, this year he finally admitted that chocolate makes him poop! It could be the caffeine?

Who knows, but you're not alone.

There is no way in hell I could stop eating chocolate.

We thought it was just me, until my husband and I heard an L.A. radio personality talk about her problems with "period poop" earlier this week. We almost died laughing. I'm pretty irregular most of the time, but during my period I go AT LEAST 4 times a day! And it's squishy and stinky and gross in every way. Soooooo unpleasant. I'm not eating or drinking anything different (no chocolate, no caffeine, no meds, etc.). I figured the contractions in my uterus were affecting my digestive system as well.

Girls please please PLEASE! Do NOT eliminate the chocolate from your period diet! OMG I couldnt even imagine what would happen if females the world over stopped eating chocolate altogether when they get their periods. THE HORROR. Please dont do that and PLEASE dont even speak of it! I am still....

Thank goodness for my laptop as I am sitting here in the bathroom with round #6 (who knows, I stopped counting) of day 1 period poops. FLUSHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Even the cat is running away from me.

Perhaps a slight change in diet just before and during the menses. Increased roughage and a SLIGHT decrease in liquid intake in an attempt to firm the stools. You just have to be careful to avoid dehydration which will cause problems with your flow.

How could I say this? One of my ex's had a similar problem. Went from 8 glasses of water a day to 6 and ate a high fiber cereal for those 7 days. Huge poops, but it kept her happy!

If any ladies think I'm crazy for this idea, please comment! I'm only a man.

You have the right to remain Silent but Deadly....

It is hormones: You will notice your poo getting hard two weeks before your period right after ovulation. That is because progesterone increases, which slows down digestion and therefore more of the moisture is taken out of your poo. If you do not become pregnant your progesterone will drop, speed of digestion will increase, your poo will become soft and your period will begin.

I am so glad to find this site. My sister does not have the period fart problem so she has sworn off beans and is forever complaining about me farting and stinking up the place. I can't help it! I also feel bloated which leaves me kinda sluggish and grumpy. But worst of all is the farting. What is up with that? And how do I stop it! My room stinks. I seem to release a significant amount of very smelly gas every few minutes. I don't drink coffee, haven't had chocolate and have actually cut down on tea the past week. It's like clockwork. I know my period is coming coz it'll start when I stop farting.

hahah - yes for google. this makes me feel better, up there, but NOT down there...I currently have a heatpad over my below-naval area - it soothes the discomfort by a lot, but not enough for it to go away...

As for the farting problem - I've no idea. Maybe you can try to fart into a plastic bag and seal it (if you're in the privacy of your room).

Thanks for cheering me up, girls!

Sooo.. yes, thank goodness for google. My roommate was nearly appalled when I informed her I had to poo AGAIN. So i was worried it was just me, but I see that is just not the case. yay for "poop period" searches on google after a late night of period aches and pains :o)

ahh, sterculius is a fickle god...

purveyor of the brown note...

Wow. I just had a random thought to find out if this might be related to my period and to my surprise what do I find. Thanks for asking this question. I couldn't have..lol, but to go from pooing once or twice a week to twice a day was concerning me. Ah well back to the pain, pimples, pooing, being tired...jesus please let these five days pass...:(

Dear Lord!
As if it is not cruel enough to have all the other symptoms - maybe it is a "warning" for others to STAY AWAY.

How old it is to smell like a skunk (literally - exactly like a skunk) for several days a month! Seriously, it is as if a sick skunk crawled up into the rectum and died there. Any air or solid exuded during this time reeks of this malodorous mustelid. This seems to happen with or without chocolate. Gas producers like beans and cruciferous vegetables are strictly off-limits too (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, turnips, radish, mustard & mustard/collard greens etc.) No matter, the bizarre bowel behavior abounds anyway. Why? Perhaps in part the excess Progesterone (along with the prostaglandin) is not properly broken down before it is expelled? (Or when it is, the resulting by-product is simply foul.) That is one theory I've heard.

Oh, let's bring back the "Red Tent" - but in a modern spa-like setting: massages, mud packs and colonics to help the body eliminate the toxins built up over the last month, etc. No ringing phones, crying children, barking dogs...just a peaceful place to restore the mind, body and soul.
Women are cyclical beings. Being allowed to follow these natural cycles brings greater productivity, peace and health.

OK, fellas, take care of everything and we'll see you again in 5 days - refreshed, renewed, revitalized!

I googled searched this ASWELL! Because I'm pooping and I have no contoll over it, it just appears in my underwear or on my pad, it's disgusting! I wish I could stop it but I can't

BEAN SOUP

3 cans small white beans (prefer goya)
1 can campbells pork n beans
2 carrots diced
1 medium onion diced
2 stalks celery chopped
2 cans chicken stock
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 4 pieces
2 bay leaves
1 envelope goya sazon ham boullion
1 bunch kale
1 kielbasy link grilled

add all but kale and kielbasy to slow cooker and cook for 2 hours (until sweet potatos are soft)
remove bay leaves and discard
remove sweet potato chunks and 1 ladle of beans to food processer. puree and add back to soup
add chopped kale and diced kielbasy and cook for 30 minutes. enjoy (tastes better 2nd day)

My wife will be relieived, (pardon the pun) to know that she is not the only one with this issue. When she is on her period, she and I go through a lot of TP. It is not pretty with my IBS and her time of the month. She is always worried that she ate something that didn't agree with her, when she poops so much. I tell her not to worry, and it is normal for me. I will definitely tell her this valuable tidbit.

In search of the ever evasive BM

Ahh the miracle of google. Unfortunately this site was unable to help me figure out how to expunge the demon that is currently infesting my bowl causing the stinkiest gas ever. More so for the plane full of passengers I am about to board with. I don't know how I can keep it in, and am fairly sure the smell will escape from the bathroom should I try to release there. Nice to know I am normal- relatively.

So I found this site and I was so glad that it wasn't just me, but it sounds like a lot of you guys are getting the "period poop" in the days leading up to your period. I get mine starting the day of. Like I start my period and then within the next hour have a nice big period poop. Normal?

I have a period frequently, certainly not "once a month". I mean, I guess if you only talk once a month, maybe, but that's just stupid. I mean, how many periods do I have in this post alone? Like, 5? Seriously. I don't get what you maniacs are talking about.

And gender has nothing to do with punctuation, either.

Moderately, some girls/women may just start to lose their gained waterweight earlier than you, that's all.

I'm sure you're normal. As long as it's regular and doesn't cause serious discomfort for you, it's normal. It's normal for you!

period poop is usually bloddy

Please, please, please help me. How does one get rid of these nasty, rancid period farts??? Does Motrin really work?

I love google - just relieved my poor achy belly of some lovely period poo =) Glad im not the only one with this little problem! I feel like i just cant stop going to the loo! However, kinda feels like im emptying myself out a bit - sure hope so the amount of crap coming outta me!! Thanks a lot girlies =) xx

SuperFart, motrin will help those nasty farts, but you may have to shove several capsules up your ass to completely seal it off (!)

oh my....sometimes i'll get an ATTACK like earlier today suddenly i was on the toilet for 45 MINUTES w/ a period poop....it barely slithered out but my stomach was constantly hurting and it felt like i had so much more to poo. The entire time i felt like when you have a fever kindof sweaty and shivery...after it all came out, it went away. Halleluyia but dang that was uncomfortable!!! Does that happen to anyone? The shivers and cramping until it comes out? Ew i hate period poo episodes...major ones only happen maybe 2x's a year...but i do have to poo more on my period that's for sure!

i was wondering why do women poop so much when their on there period? that is a question thats been bothering me for as long as i can remember. please email me with the answer.

Blessed, it is one of those mysterys that make women so unique. I mean what else can bleed for 4 days and not die.

i used to get the nausea and shivers too, i went on yaz and now its just the period poo, i pooped like 6 times in the past two days, its amazing, my stomach hurts, but anyway

I just got my period and I cried because it hurt to poo:(

LOL... I too crapped an enormous slushy one... 3 times within the hour of starting. Then googled it and foung you! Yay!!! I'm not alone! I agree with the red tent idea. I actually used to hold one with my friends, we'd alternate houses to be at... the problem is that in our society... women are not that close anymore and we are all on different cycles.

I do have to say however that this month I did not have the period farts... oh boy... and mine are the dead skunk up your anus kind too... the only thing that I did different this month was to exercise more. I have been walking about 40 minutes a day, when before I did no exercise; drinking lots of water; and I have to say (although purely coincidentally) I have had *gulp* no chocolate yet. Hmmmm... AND... I HAVE had beans... so there goes that theory!

Thanks for the affirmation that I am normal through my stank! Now, how do we fix it ladies?

I'm so glad I'm not a lone period farter. it's only started happening in the last year or so. Man they stink, it's so embarrassing. I guess until there's a real cure I'll have to walk at the back of the pack. whoops, there goes another one. gas mask time!!

Just googled this and felt relieved that I like all of you, have been "blessed" yea right lol with the period poops and farts... Thank god I'm not alone!!!

i have a problem. some times i poo when i have my period i get this horrible pain and it kind of stops me from getting the period poo out of my system. it is the single most painful thing you could possible imagine. its not constipation or anything because, hello, its period poo. its like someone pinching the side of my bum (abit embarressing) i really dont know what to do! i'm scared its something really serious. TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM!

Well it's good to know that other women get the dreadful stench that is the period fart.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my having endometriosis and pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) or not.
Any thoughts on that?

I think it has more to do with that large order of onion rings.

Threads like this are what turn men to homosexuality.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

Well, Chief I like to compare the choice to sniffing the shithouse door knob on a tuna trawler. Would you prefer to smell the inside or outside knob.

PD.....A local fellow was asked if he had ever eaten at the Y. He replied that he had but the taste reminded him of shit. He was told to try again but take smaller bites.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

As we say here in Jersey, it's like being in the Mafia. One slip of the tongue and you're in deep shit.

My theory on this has always been simple: the uterine contractions that cause the lining to be shed (blood etc)also effect the nearby intestines/colon. They then spasm a bit more themselves, pushing everything out a bit faster/sooner than the norm. Hence, a more mushy poop and more gas because it has been in the body for less time, equaling less time for the body to absorb water & nutrients.
Ta da!
*scurries off to the bathroom yet again*

THANK. GOD. FOR. GOOGLE. and other women. this has only happened to me occasionally, and when it did it wasn't TOO bad... but today, achy hips, back, and lower abdomen along with freaking "period poop..." lots and lots... yuck. so glad others can share such grief with me :)

OMG...if period poop isn't bad enough, try this:

-period poop
-IBS
-mildly lactose intolerant.

YEP, you can pretty much say I hate my life. WTF, out of nowhere today after my shower, I had the worst case of explosive poo ever in life, and it's not like I ate bad or even that much today!I HATE getting my period, and I also hate my entire disgestive tract. One of these blasted days, I am going to poop out my intestines. I need an entirely new disgestive system, mine never works *cries*

I have to deal with pooping my brains out enough on a daily basis, the period crap (literally AND figuratively) just SUCKS.

Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *downs pepto*

thank the poo gods for poopreport! I thought I was the only one who had period poops. so glad to know the rest of the ladies are suffering along with me. I feel robbed of my period poop this month 3 days ago I was sick and had a bad case of the liquishits so I took 1 to many Imodiums and now I am constipated. Oh the humanity!!!
on a side note: What woman would be crazy enough to give up chocolate during her period? the murder rates would skyrocket.

I poop more often when I have my period. It's really soft and disgusting. I hate getting poop on my tampon string.

Isn't that just special.

The Church Lady

Well, I'm certainly glad to know that this is a common thing. Thanks for the info, Ladies. :)

Okay, I find myself with similar problems.

The reason you feel like you still have to poo even though you have already emptied your bowels is most likely due to the contracting of your uterus as it tries to expel the blood. These contractions affect your rectum and can make it feel full.

As for the gas, there's not much you can do. Wear a pad to muffle the noises and absorb the odor and let 'er rip!

I hope I helped!

I did a search on Google, because I have the same problem, and this came up. I'm glad I'm not all alone. It sucks that during ur messiest time of month, your body wants to make it worse by adding poop and pain, which will all mix together to form awful misery.

It is good to know that I am not alone in this problem...last night, I spent half an hour looking for the source of the 'stink' in my room. Turns out it was my own sbd's. Sometimes I get so backed up with gas, that it escapes on its own and I don't even know I am farting. I detest period farts!

i have been laughing out loud reading this whole thing! i just googled period poo and this came up! the second i get my period i poo like 5 times a day compared to normal like not even 1 time... i dont get period farts but my sister does! and she calls them that! i thought it was our own made up term but i guess not! my theory has always been that it is a known side effect of pms to be constipated so when you get your period you release all the build up... i dunno??

hahahhaa i got my period today and i just pooped. i agree its like this constant gurgly feeling and i def poo more when im on the rag. i too googled it. yay! lol. sucks though, really. i have to work tonight and all i want to do is lay around...

Thank god for Google, for without it we would not know what to do while bored, and wondering why we match our weight in poop while on the rag.

_Duh, this is a no-brainer. When my old lady is on the rag she eats almost a total chocolate diet. Ask any bitch in heat what she craves during her massive crotchal hemmorhag and she'll tell you chocolate. Feed King Kong enough choco and he'll get the nasty quirts as well. Of course, King Kong won't get the yeaast infection that goes with masive chocolate intake. When a bitch has the triple header of nasty going, its pretty ripe around the house. Blood, crap, and pussy puss....as Rachel Ray says..Yummo! ______
Here I sit, my cheeks a flexin', about to give birth to another Texan.

As said so many times, thank u thank u thank u all for being candid about period poos, and for the person who additionally admitted to not knowing they are farting, THANK YOU!!!!!!! I've debated going to a dr for years but have been too embarrassed. I mean, to not know you're farting until you realize that you're the only common denominator through a day of smelling the same stank??? Thank you, I feel so much better....xoxo ladies

Oh good, I'm not dying or something, this is a normal thing to have a very *very* messy first 24 hours of period. It's not fair, we have one area oozing red stuff and another area blowing out air and brown matter! Not fair. First day of the period I take a minimum of two showers. Ick!

Am 15...and i always get these killer cramps! Yup the pooping(heck,thnx God am not alone)!I dnt eva feel lik eatin even if am hungry cuz i jus bring it bak up on tha barftrain.=[
Even my bf hurts wen i go thru dis time o month...but imma visit tha doc soon..cuz its 2 terrible...wish meh luck!

I think it has a bit to do with diet too. I know I eat like a ravenous gorilla the day before my period starts - anything I can get my paws on, and especially anything sweet or chocolatey. I've talked to a lot of friends who have this happen to them as well. Its no wonder why bloating is a symptom of it all. Periods just stink...period. Ugh what good are uteruses anyway....after all babies are only good for ooh's and ah's and strollers that you can put all your shit in when you're shopping. ps. funny this convo has lasted 5 years.

Its because when we poop its our bodies way of expelling old and excess hormones, obv during this time of the month we end up with a whole lotta hormones...so we poo more and it may behave differently, those hormones are also why farts stinky so much worse than normal.

man i hate these periods!! i just got it and started freaking out when i saw my underwear covered in poop and i didnt feel a thing!! my mom is away and i couldnt tell anyone about it....thanks poonurse i feel better knowing others go through this too.

I am 50 and can't believe it has taken me this long to find out that I am not alone in having the MOST putrid farts just priort to period time. Christ, I stink. It's so bad you want to get up and walk away from yourself, hehe. Nice to know it's not just me, and I just told my partner it's not just me too, in case he decides he want's to trade this stinker in on a newer, less smelly model :)

I'm sitting here in my chair dying of laughter... what a great website...

Glad to know I'm not alone with this problem - I was so constipated the last few days, to the point where it was bleeding and rock hard, and now Aunt Flo visited, and I'm sitting here farting happily away... although it stinks like a dead otter, it makes me laugh when I rip ones that are foul smelling...I haven't had the period poop yet but I'm looking forward to it... let's hope it doesn't happen during work tomorrow... otherwise the whole store might need to clear out if the smell leaks outta the bathroom!!! :(

OMG! I just got my period today, and I just started getting stomach pains and letting off farts that smell like pure sulfur! I'm not even exaggerating, they just smell like straight up sulfur. Not that eggy poo smell you sometimes get, no no! It's just pure sulfur, like the Hot Springs in Yellowstone. It actually almost burns my nose and the smell lingers on my sheets for several minutes afterwards! (I'm lying in bed right now) WTF! I have never had this before! I will occasionally get that nasty period diarrhea you guys mentioned, but not usually. Usually I just get some stomach cramps, a little gas, and gurgling followed by a fairly normal, but kind of painful poop on the first day and then everything's good. But I have never had farts of pure burning sulfur fumes before! I'm a little worried! Does this happen to anyone else during their period? Am I just getting older? Is my body chemistry changing? I'm 26, fyi.

I laughed so much at this, and it hurts to laugh. I pooped like 5 billion times today, so far. I barely eat on my period because it hurts my tummy/makes me poo more. I don't even eat chocolate! So, why do I poop so much on it?! So along with cramps, bleeding for 7 days straight, feeling like I'm gonna pass out from lack of food, we have to be on the toilet every 10 minutes!? :( I have to use my parent's bathroom cause I clogged mine from too much toilet paper usage. lol They're probably thinking "geeze, WTF did she eat?!"

Omg I'm lying on my bed the whole day just because my stomach has the worst cramps. I've pooed 3 times and about to do my 4th!! I'm dying it's like going birth to poo!

I'm so glad to know that i'm not alone with this..
After reading a majority of these comments i can't believe i thought i was the only one.. Even though my mother tryed to explain to me that i wasnt this is like my 3rd year of having my periods.
And its only been the last couple of times that i've had excruitiating cramps and always feeling like i need to go to the toilet..even though i'd already been 4 times before..But because of the cramps its like its affecting my ass. So i always go back to the toilet and realize its just period pain! It's so painful.
I have cramps now..AS WE SPEAK!
Gosh! The joys of being a girl :(

For some reason, I poop less on my period. Weird, huh? I just guess that our digestive tracts get all funky when we have periods! lol

WELL AM I GLAD! I thought something was wrong with me for a second!

Oh, the joys of being a girl.

Miss Happy, there are surgeries that can alleviate that bothersome "girl" affliction.Prarie Doggin had it done, and he's as fine a specimen of pseudomanhood one could hope to meet.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Bilge. I'm gonna scratch your eyes out!

OMG YES !!!!

I am not duh onleh one
-tear- ;__;

This has been bothering me for a couple of years now but the recent 2 years have been severe. So YES I GOGGLED IT :3 .

I mean seriously its not enough that you have to suffer through raking out your insides but the nasty , stinking , gas , its disgusting , I cant even crack a fart without seriously making sure I don't shit my pants or its not one of those gigantic cow-carcass-in-ur-ass-for-a-month kinda farts that stink the whole 10 feet perimeter up.

And don't get me started when you actually start pooping it hurts like a bitch and not only that I poop at least 3 times a day within an hour and that's just an hour people usually its once a week or once every other week so I was really worried , so I really had to finally Google this I just took what seems to be my 5th series on the pedestal. Not one day without that feeling of impending poopy doom , MEN they think they have it hard!!!!!

My farts stink even when I am not in the midst of my period....and Bilge and PD are always bitches. You women have it easy.

As a man, I thought I had it hard once, but I was wrong, when I checked, it was limp as a wet noodle.

I just had my period last week and was a bit gassy, I try to hold back farting at work, but at times you just have to let the gas out, I was in the toilet changing a tampon, and someone ran in to the stall next to me, her heals clicking the floor as she entered, and once she sat down she farted so loud it nearly pealed the paint off the walls, I wonder if she was having her period too.

Or elbow macaroni, Bilge?

I can tell when my period is a week away by the way my shitting habits change. I know the crimson tide is coming soon when I shit so much and so hard it feels like my colon is going to shoot out of my ass.

MMC saw a wrinkle so I just assumed you meant the wrinkled foreskin. My bad!
