One of the first things my nurse told me when I was diagnosed with diabetes was “DO NOT go and buy a bunch of sugar free candy and eat it all. You will get diarrhea. We had a family who did this in the past.”
...which you know, also very likely means they went "Oh hey, then they can't eat baked bread or anything, lets just crush it down and bake it into everything else they need." Which meant they were eating this several times a day for most meals. Them artificial sugars may not trigger that, but it'll mess you up in another way!
Honestly it depends on the sweetner - stuff like malitol, xylitol or erythritol are known for giving people diarrhoea when eaten in large amounts, but there are many other alternatives like allulose or stevia that are fine i think. They are a bit expensive compared to table sugar or malitol though so they're not usually found in the more commonly attainable/storebought sugar free products. So essentially your nurse was pretty much super on the mark haha 😅 I know from experience what sugar free products can do to you being recently diagnosed myself lmao
As a type 1 diabetic that is hilarious 😂😂😂 I don't really invest in alot of sugar free stuff cause of the expenses+chemicals in them, but good to know for the future!
no so my mom is diabetic and she buys these sugar free sour mints and she was dating this guy at the time and he is just inhaling these sour mints and my mom says nothing so they call me to say hi and i can hear his stomach rumbling because he didn't know that the sugar free stuff makes you sh*t horribly ...... they didn't sleep in the same bed that night
@@sorayuu8134Yeah never buy “sugar free” processed products, gotta make your own stuff at home tbh. I don’t have diabetes but I have something similar, and am really trying to change my lifestyle ❤
While listening to this episode, I had a full breakfast, with toast, cereal, tea, everything, bit my tongue so hard that a tiny piece of it came off, spat blood for ten minutes, disinfected the wound, which put me in excruciating pain, recovered, and tbh, I still feel like my day is better than any of the days that have been described here.
God when mark read that story review about the person defacating the handicap stall I bursted into hyperventilatic laughter crying my eyes out for a bit. That was so insanely funny :) Just since last week started listening to these podcasts. Now I get why people listen to them , you guys are just comedy gold with your story telling.
It was such a story I couldn’t help myself I was physically dying, trying to keep in the laughter because it was night and there are other people in the house
One memory I have is that one time I was just having the worst stomach pain, I knew I had to poop but it just wasn't coming out. Eventually it got so bad that i let out a gutteral yell, and then it all came out in one big log, instant relief.
I've had that experience too, although what came out was only like one rock solid but SMALL turd. I'm not lactose intolerant but I do eat a LOT of cheese and...well...I pay for it (but tbh it's worth it)
I had explosive diarrhea for almost a whole week, also had to use the toilet every 5 minutes for the first 3-4 days. The things I've seen and experienced, completely changed my view of everything. Despite all of that, I gotta say I didn't shit my pants even once, but I had a few close calls.
While working as a janitor for a short while, I have seen the experience of someone getting shit everywhere except for the toilet. They even left the stall locked and crawled from underneath. I had to crawl to get it open and saw that mess on the wall and floor near the toilet
I once had the trots in traffic during a snowstorm. I pull into the nearest petrol station and the attendant tells me that they don't have running water and thus the bathrooms are out of service. I struggle to the next petrol station in start stop traffic for 40 minutes only to have the same thing said to me. I run out of the service station and back to my car, which I parked by the edge of the station's lot. I realise there is no other way, so I Dukes of Hazzard it across the bonnet of my car while simultaneously taking my pants off, much to the amusement to about a dozen people witnessing it, plop into the snow arsefirst and release, only covered by my own vehicle from the onlookers. It looked as if a fecal grenade went off in there, but my pants and car were spared.
The laxative gummy bears are for children & or other patients that refuse to ingest pill medication.. But they probably manufactured way too much inventory than they actually needed so they sold the rest at their local retailers to clear out their inventory..
I remember one time: I had a bigass bag of sugar free Gummy bears, a solid kilogram of them, and me, I've always been curious about laxatives, don't know why, but I've always wondered how bad they actually are. So, these sugarfree gummy bears do cause a slight laxative affect. And they are actually pretty good. I really quite like them to be honest. So I ate half the bag in ten minutes. A solid pound of gummy bears, in ten minutes. I am not gonna be in detail, because it's gross y'know, but I will say this: 9 times in 6 hours. One of the times, I don't even think it was normal, like, it didn't feel like human waste, it felt more like pure water was being pushed out. Lemme tell you, you will never feel so disgustingly clean until you do that. It got so bad my mum literally got me to eat a bit of fruit, just so that is didn't hurt me. My gut was fucked the next day as well, though it more hurt, rather then produced a waterfall.
It probably was actual water; a major part of the large intestine is to absorb as much liquids (water) from the food clump as it can without disrupting the natural flow. Diarrhea is when your brain is like, OMG FUCK IT, and sends the waste out as fast as possible. Maybe you're sick and your body is trying to rid of the virus, maybe you took some laxatives, whatever. Thus the large intestine doesn't have enough time to absorb water so, liquid waste. It's basically like puking but from your booty.
Has anyone else experienced the agonizing horror of acidic diarrhea? And while on a 6-8 hr road trip as a passenger?😳 It’s still the in most top 5 painful incidents of my life.😓
@@hithere7393I’m fine, this was years ago. Thankfully I wasn’t driving and had brought extra (white) underwear to wear when I get home. And I had a seal plastic bag to put anything in. It was painful enough to where it felt like my stomach and intestines were cramping though luckily the Pain came In spurts. With ibuprofen the pain was dull enough enough when it wasn’t extreme to where I could fall asleep. I kept waking up from pain though. I stopped like an hour from home and run into a 7-11 (in a shady neighborhood) and after that the pain managed to go a little bit. I didn’t leave it like Bob and Mark thank god. It was when I finally got home that I had the purge from hell where the action specifically hurt more than the squeezing cramping I endured all day. It took me 1 hour to finally be able leave the toilet without a violent urge. It took me the next two days to recover. I learned a concept that was horrifyingly true: ‘the asshole is the boss’.😓
I have no gallbladder, so yes lol. Not on a roadtrip but on a train where the bathroom was the size of a broom closet so I’m banging off the walls with each bump also
Legit Bobs bathroom story reminds me of something that happened recently where I work. A lady went on herself just shy of reaching the bathroom, and it was such a mess. My sister, who worked with me at the time, had to help my manager clean the mess up. It was disgusting.
My partner is a janitor and has been for a long time. The amount of times they have seen a stall covered in an explosion of fecal matter is astonishing. And it does /always/ look like some horrible accident happened. and your story bob, explains all of it.
As someone who has kidney stones every 3 months it’s not a fun time to have it because the pain of it in ur kidney it’s unbearable as well as passing of the stone. A good way to pass it is to drink a lot of water but to help break it down is to drink a little bit of beer to help break it down.
I can totally add that in with an agreement; it's definitely an unbearable experience. And this is from someone who had at least two in their lifetime, with a year-long gap between.
Alcohol might be the source of your problem. I'm not trying to be preachy or tell you what to do, but overconsumption of alcohol can cause kidney stones. Drinking plenty of non-alcoholic drinks can help reduce them and, over time, stop them from forming. I know it's not my place to give advice, I'm just trying be helpful.
@@the_letter_j9223 That was downright rude; assuming right away it was alcohol. You do know there's up to 4-6 leading causes of kidney stones, right? And not that it's you're business since you didn't ask, but my cause was too much calcium. Jerk.
Isn't there some sort of medicine that can help break up the stones? I also remember watching an episode of QI and hearing that riding in the rearmost seat of a rollercoaster- like, one with loops and a lot of G-Force, can help break up the stones. The same goes for loud bass music. The vibrations and resonance breaks up the stones. Take care of yourself, chief.
Once I sprained my ankle pretty badly to the point where it swelled up and turned green. My mum said it was fine and that I had just rolled my ankle, I didn't even go to a doctor afterwards. It could have been broken, thank goodness it wasnt but it could've been.
God, if your pain is so bad you can't even breathe or there's blood from stuff that isn't supposed to have blood? Check with an urgent care if you're really not concerned or thinking it is an emergency. Appendix bursting is terrifying, my mom was hours from a burst at the hospital when she was younger and won't ever forget it. Like I once had hemorraging because I was like "Huh, I'm not supposed to have blood from my butt, right?" and to this day my mom and I have a running joke where I was tucked with a stretchy sheet and was ready for a rectal exam and said "Well, all tucked in for a nightmate" cause I've never had that shit before, so it was just terror, but now it's funny to me. So humor also helps out!
I have to mention this I once worked at a gas station in a small town called Harrisburg and I was at the time doing cashier duty and inside we have two bathrooms both which need a key and this old guy walks in and my first thought was he had to be a drug addict homeless man because that's what he was so he says that he needs to use the bathroom so I handed him one of the keys he went in and it took him I think from one to two hours in there. Now it was quite while he was in there, so I forgot he was in there and when he came out and handed the key back I was like "oh shit I hope he wasn't doing drugs in there" so I go in to see and holy sweet virgin marry it was bad their was poop everywhere on the floor on the walls even on the ceiling and it took me three mops to clean that.
reasons like Bob's is why i keep a roll of TP in my car at all times! twice i have been saved! pull over, do some business on the side of the road. yay TP!
I was a few day from turning 20 when I went to the hospital and found out I had a kidney stone, it was horrible like I went to the hospital for a second time after that about a week later. They ended up removing it surgically and the recovery sucked too. 0-10 would not recommend
I’ve had a very similar experience that’s kinda like bobs story except I wasn’t on the road and didn’t need to find a place to dump ass or in my experience dumping my soul and whatever dark creatures are in my bowls into the toilet
The closest ive been to crapping myself to that degree was similarly a verylong road trip and i had to poop so unbelievably bad that when i got to my destination, i ran into the restroom and i was milliseconds from soiling myself, as it came out before i even sat down. I had literally just ripped my pants off me, and was about to sit on the toilet. Let me repeat, I WAS STILL STANDING when ut forced itself out. Thankfully, it landed in the toilet, but i was literally a tenth of a second from crapping myself
Kind of reminds of the time when in my elementary school some boy diarrhea'd onto the bathroom floor and the teachers invited EVERONE to check it out, even the policemen that were there the same day to teach about safety coincidentally. I didn't go there because gross but one of my friends did and according to her it was absolutely terrible.
Ok, listen. Womens bathrooms are like what Bob was describing, stuff on walls on the floor etc, but its not food poisoning result. Its just the monthly women experience.
Oh man, I guess I gotta: I was 6 my brother was 9 we were with our mom at a big thrift store furniture stuff all over its early- so it's just us in their we split up and I find this 🐻 bear in a big luxurious smoking chair and I looks at the bear and he's got a smile and i say " Oh- you comfy Mr. BEAR - enjoying that big nice chair al to yourself !" I assume the position bend over in the Teddy Bears face and proceed to shit myself. Yw
I'm a janitor. You wouldn't believe the shit...lol. That I've seen. Had one dude take a dump in a urinal. Like what? Walked in on one dude sitting on a Garbage can shitting in it 😮
