i'm sure everyone knows what i'm talking about. i had to work all day and didn't have time to use the bathroom from 12-8pm. i had gone before work but i usually go in the afternoon, too. with all my appointments, i didn't have time to relax so i just had to hold it. obviously, i would've prefered to go but it just felt great that i could DECIDE to hold it in and not have a choice whether i crap my pants or not.

haha just had to get that off my chest.

Hi Joanna,
Im a sub teacher and I cannot leave the class..Do you know how much fun that is. I go across the hall and ask the teaher if they can come in for a min and watch them. Also if you work in Sp ed, you cannot leave the room with just the para I've actually been told no sorry you can't leave..

betty, omg that is horrid!! what do you do when you can't get anyone to watch your class? i ended up having to wear diapers when i was sick due to accidents. even last year, i taught fitness classes and had to stop because trying to teach boot camp and jumping up and down makes it IMPOSSIBLE to hold anything in.

bananagirl, please tell me your secret for being able to hold it in.....I have formed BM's and average 5-8/day at the moment and you'd think with them being formed I could hold it in but it doesn't seem to work that way for me...I've done rectal meds when my proctitis (due to Crohn's) acts up but they never helped me hold it in either even when I was on them for a yr one time before tapering off (so just a bit longer than a yr that time).

So can you share how you've managed to hold it in?

As anyone on this forum familiar with my comments knows, it is precisely this kind of discussion that interests me most, that is to say whether one gushes down into one's pants with any frequency. After all, that is why, in part, I am known as Captain Ca-Ca. I have introduced quasi-scientific examinations of this and related questions in order to get at the truth of things, see recent topics, A Larger Purpose, and Ca-Ca In Ulcerative Colitis: Creatio Ex Nihilo or Self Circulating. I should now like to propose that this and similar topic be granted a special identifying mark by the moderators, instead of an envelope to the left on the face page, a picture of a toilet perhaps, in that way furthering the interests of serious investigators. Thank you for your consideration. :-)

bananagirl, are you saying you didn't even pee for 8 hours??? Wow I would never be able to do that...!

serenity, i was able to pee but i usually like to relax when i poop. haha i don't like being rushed.

pb4, honestly, what helps me is just clenching. even when i don't have to go, just the action of it a few times a day helps me. so when i really have to hold it in, my butt is used to the feeling.

bananagirl, that's such great news that you're able to hold it! I remember when I was flared badly and I couldn't hold it, it took so long to get back to the point where I was healed enough to feel confident that I'd be able to hold it if the need came about.

I don't think it is possible to hold it if you have any inflammation at all. If you've recently had inflammation, you probably can't hold it. I've had to clench too many times. Running while clenching is the worst feeling.

ca-ca, you crack me up.

yeah you're right, any inflammation your f'ed with the holding. I don't think about the clenching. Actually, I can now feel when I need to go BEFORE I ACTUALLY FEEL like I need to go. Don't worry, it's complicated to explain lol. Safe to say, I'm on the toilet right on time. If not, I wasn't going to make it anyways. So I crap my levis lol
