thick yellow butt foam

Posted 01.30.2004 by Poonurse (1313)
Kevin asks:

Sometimes when I am taking a poop, I reach what I call "poop out". Don't ask, just a weird thing. Anyway, this poop out is basically when I defecate until I can't go anymore. Sometimes I do this before a meeting or any other type of event that will not allow me to have instant access to a bathroom.

The couple times that I do this, once I reach "poop out", no more poop is coming out. Even with all my might, no solid poop will come out. Instead, a thick yellowish foamy liquid substance comes out of my anus. I am wondering if this is normal or healthy. Thank you.


Dear Kevin,

Thanks for the question.

"Thick yellow butt foam"--healthy or not?

Methinks NOT, friend. Brown is the color of good poo, and it should never be foamy. Your diet is probably in need of a good overhaul, and you shouldn't be "pooping with all your might". Relax, let it come, and pinch off when you feel mostly empty.

Don't try to get it all out, man. Save something for later.

Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.

Maybe your butt foam will make a good chrome cleaner. Try it sometime. If it works, bottle the stuff and sell it on e-bay.

when i was in summer camp at age12 i ate the camp food anf felt the urge to shit. iwent there was no solids just an oily substance unlike diarrhea it didnt even stink

Kisa (not verified) -- 09.02.2004

One time i was constipated and this huge poop came out. it looked like a football. My butt was sore for a few days. I kept haveing hard stools and consipation. It was very painful.

I TOO GET FOAMY POO IT IS NORMAL AND SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OFF

The Shit Volcano (3817) -- 10.25.2005

I think you should stop trying to push too hard.

Anonymous girl (not verified) -- 03.28.2006

help.i dont know what to do.i am only between the age of 9-11.i havent started my period yet either.i keep having this yellowy foam stuff come out from my butt followedwith a little bit of blood.is this normal?is it a sign of my period?tell me plz!! i am scared!

Dave (11977) -- 03.29.2006

You should probably talk to your parents. Don't know what it is, but it's worth looking in to. Don't be embarrased!

Bunghole In the... (432) -- 03.29.2006

Anonymous girl, please talk to your mom and/or dad about the discharge. Because of additives and food processing practices, and dietary changes in the U.S., girls are beginning their menses at significantly earlier ages than they did 50 years ago.

If the discharge is from your bottom and not your vaginal area, I would venture to say it is not at all related to a "period".

Possibly the funniest medical advice in history.

randomly today after eating a "kids cuisine" and drinking a "rockstar" ((the orange one mixed with juice)) i had this yellow slimy yuck thing come out of my butt. this has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. i just turned 13 april 11th (last wednesday) and im super freaked. it reminds me of like fish poop or something..and is followed by TINY TINY TINNY peices of poop. i push hard and nothing but a fart. then randomly a fart and butt slime..ah. whats going on? help! am i dying?!?! IM FREAKED THE F*** OUT!!!!

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 05.17.2007

I Have that too, but without eating and drinking the tsrange stuff. I've no idea what it is, but I'm still alive. Anyone else?

Frothingfarter (not verified) -- 08.02.2007

Been having an unusual amount of gas lately after eating and since I'm at work I have to hold it in until I get to the bathroom. There is no stomach pain, just slight bloating. Once in the bathroom I let loose. The farts are so long and rumbling that if I was in the privacy of my home I'd probably be laughing hysterically. The kicker is that the gas build up shoots small poop out like a cannon. When I am finally empty I'm still farting out foam. What the hell is that?

the poop jar (not verified) -- 09.09.2007

i have been farting out white foam all day. it doesn't stink and it may be related to drink large amounts of alcohol because I'm in college. has this ever happened before? any suggestions? and i cant poop

Frank2401 (204) -- 09.10.2007

Poop jar, get some "milk thistle" and switch to coffee. No more alcohol for a while or ever. You may have some liver damage- but the liver can rejuvenate itself in time if it isn't too late.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 09.10.2007

Guys, you're all nuts. Sitting around blowing foam out your ass? What the hell? Usually broken glass comes out of mine.

Kelly fedorka (not verified) -- 09.10.2007

i am 5 months pregnant and i started having the same symptoms almost like my husband got me in the "back door" when i go to the bathroom i just assumed it was related to the pregnancy kinda embarresed to talk to the dr abt it kinda wierd just interesed if you are pregnant?

Artful Dodger (394) -- 09.10.2007

Kelly, if you're pregnant, then I think it's fair to say that your husband got you in the "front door."

As for pregnancy advice, I have nothing helpful for you. Sorry.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 11.06.2007

I have extremely thick and kinda hard poop, ive tried pooping it out but it hurts and when i tried it seems to reach the door, but be too fat to get through. I need some sort of solution please!

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 01.07.2008

I woke up on sunday morning and puked my guts up five times. The whole time I had these intense, tight feeting pains in the lower part of my stomach. I thought i might be constapated because thats happened alot before, so I took six laxatives/stoolsofteners over the past two days. Today was when my bowels finally started moving and I had diereeah(sp?). And just now I was upstairs and I let a fart out and I felt wetness on my butt. I went to the bathroom to check it out and there was clear goop on the bottom of my pajamas. Anyone haave any idea what this could be? I'm really starting to freak out. Oh and if it helps, i'm a sixteen year old girl

prarie doggin (3915) -- 01.07.2008

GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND GET CHECKED OUT NOW. IM NO DOCTOR BUT IT MAY BE YOUR APPENDIX.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 01.17.2008

Ok... so I've been having problems going poop for the last year! Actually it's always been something that hasn't been fun for me but for the last 6 months sometimes blood comes out with the poop or on the toliet paper, and other times it's completely fine and better than ever. It almost feels like theres a little cut on the inside of my anus that won't heal. what could it be? I can't bring myself to go to the doctor... so any advice other than that? If it helps, i'm an 18 year old girl.

Bilgepump (2779) -- 01.17.2008

uh...go to a veterinarian?

daphne (4409) -- 01.17.2008

Just remember, Anonymous, if your eyes or ears were bleeding, you'd see a doctor. I know it sounds horrifying to have someone look up your butt, and I know because I had to have it done at your age. However, your doctor has seen butts before.

It could be a hemmorrhoid, or a little tear that keeps on getting torn open, or the beginning of an anal fissure.

Keep to a diet rich in fruits and bran, and try to get your guts up to ask mom to take you to the doctor. If not mom, maybe a female family member you trust.

Frothingfarter- I have the EXACT same thing
did you find out what it is from. I have had it now for over 9 weeks!

christopher (not verified) -- 03.21.2008

I pooped out foam to but it came with poop that was moving in the toilet like if it was alive!! it was wiggling...... I know its not normal, but what could be the cause of a wiggly foaming poop

daphne (4409) -- 03.21.2008

That's gnarly. I'm going to suggest you had a lot of air in your bowels, and when you downloaded, the air escaped and caused your poo to look like it had moved.

Or you ate an alien. Either one.

Or, Christopher, your foam was very much like soap froths, which are known to move around as the liquid partitions between the bubbles undergo changes. Next time you have this condition, get in the bathtub and stage a naval battle between equal amounts of soap and shit suds. Guaranteed publishable story.

THE TURDINATOR (not verified) -- 04.03.2008

if poo is struggling to get out your bum &seems too big to get out the hole this is known as 'faecal impaction' you can buy sachets of movicol which may push things along a bit. if you're in extreme pain ring a doc &they can remove the blockage painlessly (dont be embarrassed they see all different bums/willys/vaginas/poops on a daily basis!)lastly,a little trick-wash &lube your finger &slide it in your bum say2 inches just for a couple of secs-this can stimulate your anal muscles to push the poo out

Anonymous Cow (not verified) -- 06.22.2008

I a1so experienced the same thing as Christopher and POOPed foam and a little wiggling thing on my POOP!!! very small, hope its not a worm or sumthing :/

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 07.24.2008

hey, i have an issue. One day i felt i had to take a really bad crap and when i crapped the poop in the toliet it was infested with little maggot looking things!!! Is this normal? what the hell is going on? This is was the first time it happened.

Butt Dumpling (35) -- 07.24.2008

Kevin, You drink too much.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 07.27.2008

the 'maggots' your talking about are probably pin worms. it's a fairly common parasite infection, especially among children. it's relatively harmless and more annoying than anything. i think your butt hole should be itchy or something. in my disease class we never really got as far as curing it... sorry. the foamy clear stuff is probably mucus. oh, and the pin worms crawl out of your butt at night. so there. thought i'd try extra hard to gross you out :)

prarie doggin (3915) -- 07.27.2008

AC, you're right, these partying little night owls do crawl out of your ass at night. I suggest using some small sticks and your shoe laces to set up some snares on your ass. You should be able to catch most of them.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 07.27.2008

i have been drinking nothing but coffee and smoking for 3 days,i jut farted and got a load of tacky foam in my undies, i think its safe to say this is an empty stomach issue

Nick Prodzenko (not verified) -- 10.22.2008

Someone has to help me. Im an average 15 year old male but ive been having some strange problems for almost a year now. Its almost like i have no control of my bowels. I find myself shitting in my pants more times than i make it to the toilet. This is highly embarassing, especially in school. Sometimes when i stand up after laying an uncontrollable shit in my pants, the chair is soaking wet, with a top layer of foam. it smells somewhat like vinegar. What is it?? What should i do?? i dont want to get made fun of anymore

daphne (4409) -- 10.23.2008

Nick! You poor guy! Please talk to your school nurse. Please. I don't know how you feel about talking to your mother and father - if they're cool, go for it. Remember, as a minor in this country, you are entitled to health care; and if you are denied health care, it can be considered neglect. As a teenage boy, you should not be losing control of your bowels. It might be a symptom of a bigger problem. I know there are disorders that center around an absence of messages sent from the colon/anal spincter/rectum to the brain, and you might be suffering from something of that nature.

The smell of vinegar might mean you've got some type of bacteria/virus, too. This is more than enough of a reason to see a doctor/maybe an endocrinologist.

You're going to have to ask for help to get it at your age, being a minor. I know it might be hard, but remember - this is one part of your life, and you have a long, long life left ahead of you. In years to come, this will be done with.

Good luck.

i've read that the foamy poo thing could be malabsorption but i dont know. i usually have this with gas

cryss (not verified) -- 12.07.2008

Nick i understand what you are going through because i have the same problem.once, it happened to me almost the same thing but fortunately i had just left from school. i went to a doctor and he diagnosed me with IBS but i'm afraid it's more than that. now i'm waiting for further investigations. i'm getting a treatment, i'm feeling a little better[at least i'm able to control my bowels] but some days i still have a foamy poo or diarrhea, my belly hurts, especially when i'm stressed or don't get enough sleep. i have to be careful of my diet, too. contact me if you want to know how the things will develop. I hope you'll be getting better. b'bye

but i also felt like i had to go really bad i thought i had diareah but it was only this wierd foam!

Unclebuck (not verified) -- 01.29.2009

The foam is all related to diet (the Kid cuisine and monster energy drink comment was my favorite) and your large intestine trying to push out waste. It's all normal. If this is accompanied with a bright red blood than it's a minor form of colitis or external injury. If the blood is dark or in the waste then I would see a doctor

pooper man (not verified) -- 04.16.2009

ok one time i was taking a large shit and when it went out i noticed this orange yellow and even a little bit iof green fluidy goo come out of my ass im 67 years old and i drink alot of alcohol im reallyy worried pleas tell me what this is

It doesn't smell like anything and is almost colorless...about a month ago, his stools were almost eggshell in color! His stool color has gotten darker, but now this frothy/foam gas. Has anyone had this happen to them? We're going to the doctor next week.

Hello, i have been having gas the last few weeks, and I have just had as poop then, and it was normal, then a little bit with foam covering it. I told my mum and family and they said they didnt know what it was. Maybe you will? please help. Im an 11 year old girl.

P.S My tummy has been felling a bit loose latley too, if that helps?

prarie doggin (3915) -- 07.09.2009

Koopa, having gas at times is normal. As a matter of fact that alone makes me very normal. Also some out of the ordinary poops should not be cause to worry unless it gets worse or lasts a while. I'm just guessing here, but you may (at 11) be at the start of some female changes. I would be the last one to advise you about that, but I am sure we have plenty of wonderful women here that can.

In any case, go to your doctor if you are worried. It can't hurt.

sittingpretty (2336) -- 07.10.2009

Poopa Koopa, is it still happening? If so, then ask your mom for an appt at the pediatrician. We, here, can only speculate and you really need assurance from your doctor that you are ok.

Netsrik (not verified) -- 10.14.2009

I have a problem somewhat like this.
I'm farting s lot, and peeing a LOT, but I'm constipated. I've eaten tons of "non-constipating" foods to combat it, and it's made my poo softer, but I'm still having tons of trouble getting it out. It's like there's something there stopping it from coming out, and it really hurts! Instead, this gross yellow-orange goop comes out, with bits of blood in it! When I fart it shoots out, too. Someone please help! (And I'm a 17 year old girl, by the way.)

sittingpretty (2336) -- 10.14.2009

Netsrik take a day off from school and drink two bottles of magnesium citrate back to back and plenty of clear liquids. That should clear up the sludge poo.

Pacific Pooper (not verified) -- 10.27.2009

Tonight my girlfriend came into my room and complained that her butt hole was sore because her poop was thick, like a small wrist, and very hard like stones. how do i know this? well, im the one who had to flush it, and still after like 8 flushes in wouldnt budge. Those suckers were taunting me so i grabbed a chopstick and made my first attempt to coax them out of their dwelling, stabbing a few of them in the raucus... Those resilient little basTURDs finally gave up and dropped into the abyss, but with their last dying breath they tried to break my pipes, making sounds that kinda sounds like a poltergeist, thuudunk..thuddunk..thudddunk...

that battle lasted about 15min, and tomorrow im going to pour a bottle of mineral oil down her throat. but not before i get it blessed...

Pacific Pooper.....Did the chopstick change the flavor of your next meal of General Tso's chicken? It would have made the perfect utensil for eating poo poo gai pan.
