The IBD Sharts

Posted 06.16.2006 by i fling poo (26)
I have read several stories involving liquishits, so now I thought I'd make my own contribution. I'm one of the sufferers of an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) called Ulcerative Colitis. Of course, I don't suffer as much as those around me.

One of the unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on your perspective) side effects of an IBD flare-up is what I call The Sharts. A shart, of course, is a combination of a liquishit and fart that occurs simultaneously. Many of you have probably experienced a shart after a long night of binge drinking on cheap beer or eating really spicy Mexican or Cajun food. Here's how The Sharts works: first, you feel the gut pains, so you sit on the throne, thinking you're about to drop a massive load. Next, you begin to let the pre-shit farts rip, only to discover you feel as though you're pissing out of your asshole. In one fell swoop, you've both farted and shit all at once. Finally, the bathroom smells so foul that even you are offended.

The Sharts are lethal. Those of you with IBD (Crohn's as well as UC) know what I'm talking about.

Of course, you don't have to have IBD to shart. Anything that causes the runs can cause a person to shart. In fact, that reminds me of a funny story of my first true shart.

I work in a medical profession (I'm not a doctor or nurse, but I'm a medical professional nonetheless). In 1996, I was working at a clinic in a Dallas suburb that was part of a national chain not known for its ethical conduct. Me, I was unhappy because I was constantly being told by my superiors to do things that weren't ethical or legal, and they were making life hell for me since I refused to do them. I started looking for another job, and was ultimately fired for getting caught doing so... but that's another story.

About a week before I was fired, I took a post-lunch dump at work. We had a main bathroom for everyone to use, and a private head in the break room for employees only. It was such a small bathroom, it wouldn't qualify as a half-bath in a house -- maybe a quarter at best! It was almost as small as an airplane toilet. The toilet itself was one of those older, tiny, erratic toilets that left you fearing it would crap out someday soon. Often times, you'd have to wait a few minutes before you could flush it a second time. And on occasion, depressing the flush handle a second time would return absolutely no action whatsoever.

At the time, I was one of only two people who worked at this facility, and the other was out to lunch. Besides, she always chose the main women's bathroom over the smaller private one. As I said, it was very small, and had a very weak flush to it. Even the flush handle was sloppy and felt weak when you pushed it. Post flush, it would fill up about halfway so lazily that after an hour or so, there was barely two inches of water in the bowl. Scared that any flush might be its last, I didn't do a pre-dump flush for fear it wouldn't work after I finished my business.

I sat down on the tiny commode, feeling what seemed like a massive turd trying to push its way out. I began to let out my pre-dump fart only to find that I was getting the bonus plan: my first real shart. On this occasion, the long, super slimy turd (or so I thought) was so slick, it felt like a fourteen-incher came out at record velocity in record time, in a matter of 0.5 to 1.2 seconds, which was the length of the loud gas blast that accompanied it. As soon as the fart stopped, so did the shit.

"Wow," I thought to myself, "that was easy." All the pressure had been relieved and there was nothing else to push out. It was a surprisingly clean wipe. I stood up to look at my turd, thinking that it would look even longer and bigger in the tiny bowl than it would have in a normal toilet. When I got up to inspect, I couldn't believe what I saw: a giant mountain of shit.

This was the only time in my life that I have been mistaken about the consistency of my poop. I could have sworn it was a solid -- albeit super slick -- turd; but what beheld me was an enormous mound of poop sitting in the two inches of water. In fact, it crested like an iceberg into a pile that was partially above the water and partially under it. It took up well over sixty-five percent of the size of the bowl, which is impressive even for a small commode.

But it had felt solid coming out. I would guess that if it had one percent more water content, it would have been pure diarrhea; and if it had one percent less, it would have been a solid turd.

To this day, I do not know how so much poo could come out in such a short span of time. I've often debated whether or not to call Guinness Book of World Records, because this had to be some kind of first in history: a giant mound of shit that came out in record time, and left a clean wipe. Sure, the small bowl made it look larger in some ways, but empirically, everyone would agree that this was still a ton of poo. I even showed it to a friend who came by to visit with me, and he was in total awe.

But here's the kicker: the fear that one day the toilet wouldn't work came to fruition. I depressed the flusher, and nothing happened. I checked to make sure the water hadn't been turned off, and I even pulled the lid of the tank to see if the chain had broken or something. All the parts were intact -- but for some reason, there was next to no water in the tank. I tried later in the day, as well as again over the next day or two, to see if I could get it to flush; but it remained dead as a doornail, loaded with a giant mound of shit.

I was too embarrassed to tell anyone at work about it, so I left it there with the hopes that I'd come up with some solution to get it down the drain. A week later I was fired after getting caught looking for another job. I remembered the mountain of shit I'd left behind, and was satisfied that my employer would later discover it and have to deal with herself. I'm sure by that time, the bathroom stunk so bad she probably had to call in a Hazmat team to clear it out.

That was my first ever shart. It was atypical in style and substance when compared to the usual watery sharts that occur with a typical colitis flare-up. I consider it as my masterpiece in my pooping history, as well as my best revenge, even though it came as a prequel to my being fired. Is there such a thing as pre-revenge?

I seem to get a lot of first posts lately, probably because I am always around... but I digress.

Awesome first story, and welcome to PoopReport! You describe things so well; I could almost see your enormous mound of poop and imagine the horror of the toilet having little water in it. Great job!

Agreement and applause for a first time author. Keep up the good work.

I just downed some spicy chicken and a cola for lunch, a couple of hours later made toilet tea. My IBS was not unexpected as this spicy blend of mystery spices colliding with carbonated beverage made its usual liquid result.

PoopReport Sucks (19) -- 06.16.2006

Nothing better than a huge pile of poop coming out in less than two seconds. It sure as hell beats a huge, dry log taking 10 minutes of hard pushing.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 06.16.2006

"[I]f it had one percent more water content, it would have been pure diarrhea; and if it had one percent less, it would have been a solid turd."

I don't see how this is possible.

The Big Wiper (2245) -- 06.18.2006

The discussion of these conditions is becoming more open and not something to hide. I was watching a game of the College World Series yesterday, and the announcer spent about three minutes discussing one of the Miami player's bouts with Crohn's disease and that he hoped it would not deter him from a major league career, if he got that far.

I'm not sure medical conditions such as IBS, IBD and Crohn's would have been discussed so openly in regard to public figures even five years ago.

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 06.18.2006

TBW-- I would still rather they just said, "A condition." At least publically.

And you what? SEVERAL people at my work have jumped on the IBS "bandwagon". When the THIRD person started trying to claim they HAD to go to the bathroom over and over and over, the management started demanding doctor's notes.

Everybody's got somethin'.

KesAFloyd (89) -- 06.18.2006

It is possible to flush a toilet by dumping a bucket of water into the bowl. The entire function of the cistern is to act like that built-in bucket. So, if you ever find yourself in this situation (and it's at your house or something where you actually don't want to be a turd terrorist), just dump a bucket of water and it's bye-bye turd. Until the pipe clogs, that is.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 06.18.2006

It sounded like one of those stupid old-fashioned water-saving toilets. They saved water by just not using any of the damn stuff. So in the end everyone kept flushing and flushing and flushing until they used three times as much water as a regular toilet.

Enjoyed the story. I've done a poop mountain before, but I had food poisoning. It sounds like those bastards at your place of employment deserved the shit bomb.

fyi--ibs (irritable bowel syndrome) and ibd (inflammatory bowel disease) are not the same thing. ibd is either crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. ibs doesn't cause permanent damage to the digestive system, ibd does. it might be hard to prove that a person has ibs because a lot of times even doctors aren't certain about it.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 06.18.2006

TSV refers to "one of those stupid old-fashioned water-saving toilets."

My dear, regrettably, "water-saving toilets" are anything but "old-fashioned." 42 U.S.C. ยง 6295, the Federal statute that mandates a maximum of 1.6 gallons per flush on all new commodes (charmingly referred to in the statute as "water closets"), is still very much the law of the land.

Now, when YOU get to be President, I expect all that to change. I am pro-choice on this issue: I think I ought to have the right to choose how damn much water I want to use to flush my commode!

And allow me to make Sloan Valve Co. richer by installing their flushometers on my toilets instead of the dreaded tank. I hate water saving toilets. They never flush right.

So... uhh... erm.... POOP!!!

Thunderbox (890) -- 06.19.2006

Yep, even across the pond we`re having to introduce "water saving cisterns" to flush with. This is something new and not at all helpful with generous turds. you just end up 2 or 3 flushing, which defeats the purpose.

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 06.19.2006

T-Box-- That's true for the #2's, but in between, the #1's will take less water. Su-poop-osedly.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 06.19.2006

By "old fashioned" I mean the first water saving toilets on the market. That first generation saved water by, well, not flushing. They are beginning to improve the water-saving toilet in further generations. Sort of.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 06.19.2006

The only way to improve the water-saving toilet is to do away with it. As KesAFloyd points out, above, though, you can make a commode flush all day long simply by pouring water into the bowl. At my house up in the mountains, one of the old (regular) commodes finally gave out, and I was FORCED to replace it with a 1.6 gallon flush abomination. However, I took the flush tank off the old commode, mounted it on the wall above the new one, and rigged an auxiliary water supply line to it, so that now the upper tank can be flushed directly through the lower tank and into the bowl. Talk about a TRUE "double flush"!

It ain't very pretty, but it is a neat conversation piece, and by using both tanks, you get enough water to flush a dead dog, if necessary.

Sloan's Flushmate (the toilet with the motor in it in the ads) works pretty well, probably due to how it is pressurized. I've tried one and kinda liked it. Not as good as a flushometer though.

Dumpster, you are CHEATING my signature double flush!

I had just noticed in the forums that we think a shart happens in your pants, as the term shart should have an accident-type air to it. But either way, this story was pretty good. I found myself upon finishing it looking forward to the establishment having to clean the toilet, also. I am glad that you left them that present.

BUM-SHITTER MCDUFF (not verified) -- 06.22.2006

When i have a tiresome turdy that won't flush i use the ol 'theres a snake in the toilet' gambit .Well done sir...smashing tale of turd.

i fling poo (26) -- 06.25.2006

"[I]f it had one percent more water content, it would have been pure diarrhea; and if it had one percent less, it would have been a solid turd."

Dumpster, you took this statement too literally...what you said is true, it's not possible.

What I was trying to convey was the sense that it was such a funky consistency that if it had just a little more water content, it would be in the runny category, but if it had just a little less, it would have been in the solid turd category. It was right in that mysterious middle ground/grey area between solid and liquid that so few turds achieve. That is part of what made this a masterpiece...the near perfect shit. Lots of poop, few wipes, and a ultimately it became a weapon for revenge. What more could you ask for?

Daphne - I understand what you're saying about the sharts being accidental...but this sucker was unexpected in a sense. I thought I was just letting a few pre-shit farts go only to find I was shitting and farting at the same time. I'm not sure I'd have dropped the load in my pants had I farted before dropping trou (and could you imagine the mess I'd have made of myself if I had? Yikes!) but I was definitely caught by surprise.

Thank you everyone for such kind words...I thoroughly appreciate them. Fortunately, in my family, I could write many fart stories and poop stories.

It's funny that some of you mentioned those stupid water saving toilets. At the time my story took place, I was living in a Dallas suburb, and we had those dumb water saving toilets at home. Those suck! You had to flush so many times because you couldn't get more than two wipes in before you had to flush. If you're generous with the paper like I am, one wipe is all you get, then you must flush.

In the end, you use at least 3 times the water you'd use with a regular toilet, so calling it a water-saving toilet is an oxymoron.

Frist. What a great first story IFP.

If your poopwas sitting in there the next day, they deserved it. Did they replace the "water waster" toilet with a real toilet?

Last, I wish you the best with your condition. IBD is a debilitating disease, my hat goes off to you.
