So far this week, I shat my pants twice. Monday and Wednesday.

I seem to remember you posting about crapping in your car last week. But maybe I missed a week somewhere.

And good to see you fixed the spelling in your sig. ;)

Thanks. Now I don't have to cringe every time I see your sig. ;)

You know what's ironic, I work with a guy that has a VERY SIMILAR problem as mine. He craps his pants too on the way to work, but his problem is cause by radiation from cancer. He had prostate cancer and they radiated him so much, they destroyed his colon. He passes blood also from time to time.

Two weeks ago on Friday, I get in, late, around 30 minutes. He sees that I look pissed off. He starts laughing, you crapped your pants today didn't you? I go, yeah....motherdff.e..f.d.....He's like: That's ok, dion't worry, I also crapped mine, I had to turn back. He just got in 5 minutes before me. Normally we both start at 8am. Made me feel better then, lol.

I can relate to this topic! Oh my.....

I now wear female ultra thin maxi pads (XL or overnight size), perfect for minor accidents. I also change my underwear a few times a day and wash them separately with hot water/bleach. I bought a cheap dozen pack of very thin (don't know why but the very thin ones work better than thick ones) washcloths and I just wash and change right there in my laundry room, dropping my stained underwear right in the washer. Sometimes I think - what if I didn't have this sink right here or a washer? I'd be dunking them in a bucket (like I did when I started baby-sitting back in the dark ages, changing cloth diapers).

Somedude - you have the craziest of topics but they always make me feel less alone and give me a laugh or two. Hang in there buddy.

I agree, buy the toy car...maybe it'll come with a freebie of retention enemas???

I kind of liked the panchocolitis....gave you identity, although if you put somepanchocolitis, that would have been way cooler.

I'm glad they make you feel better.

In truth, I think there's quite a few people dealing with the same stuff that I'm dealing but don't want to post it. Every time I make a post like this, there's always one or two individuals that comes in and says, oh yeah...I'm dealing with the same things.

Miracles posts similar stuff from time to time.

I did not like the silhouette depends as much as the regular. Does sound a little psychological because of the weekend difference, I am up three or more times a night regardless. What about trying a book on tape to distract yourself on the way to work. I had the worst accident last week, no depends on and hadn't gone in a while. Luckily my pants were impervious and tight in the shins, but not the butt, so I drove home in a really uncomfortable position, in third gear, then I waddled right into the shower pants and socks. It was awful.

I thought the misspelling in your sig was a joke! I guess not. I liked "panchocolitis" better. Buy the toy car. It will be fun.

It was a spelling mistake on purpose. I'll think of something different someday and write it.

Somedude - I saw this post and wondered if somebody had commented on one of your previous posts...therefore bumping it up!

I say get the car. I was seriously wondering if there was something about sitting that was encouraging your BM's. If it's sitting and vibration...well..maybe you can ride the toy car on the treadmill?

Somedude anyone without UC would crap their pants knowing its monday and you need to go to work.

Lodi - while I don't have the UC dx I do have multiple bm's daily so I wear Stayfree Ultra Thin Maxi Pads, overnight/xl, with wings. You can find varieties of this thin, long pad that goes way up in the back of your underwear but Stayfree recently redesigned this style, it's even better, 5 adhesive areas, it comes in a small black square bag (small count), has the moon and stars on it (why I don't know). Go to Stayfree's website and look for them, they are GREAT! My go-to pad now, I wear one each during work, whenever I'm in the car for long periods of time, etc.

Hey somedude, I did have one correlation to relate to you, ever since my resection, 13 years ago, if I drive or even ride in a car for more than 2 or 3 hours, I develop something akin to heartburn, but it's a series of burps that are unlike any kind of burp I've ever had! It's embarrassing, if I lift my chin, I can release the pent up gas and my burp is quite unladylike. lol This has been one of those post-op symptoms I've noticed, when I sit like that, I must suppress my GI tract and then I'm a mess. Oddly enough if we stop the car, the burping goes away.

There has to be a correlation here, in terms of car travel, having to sit up in that prone position, etc.

I laughed at the suggestion you got to cut a hole in your seat, etc. Wouldn't that be sweet. Or we all had pants on with a flap you unsnapped to relieve yourself (like the jumpers my girls wore as babies, lol).

It sounds like a mental connection. I've never messed myself in public or in a vehicle (I have at home tho) but it seems the urges tend to hit me when I am in a store. For me, it's a mental thing because I used to have anxiety/panic attacks which in turn would make me have to use the bathroom urgently. Now I don't get the anxiety attacks as much but the urge still hits me sometimes when I'm in stores...and I'm in remission! It's hard to retrain the brain but maybe you can try something to take your mind off the ride? Like maybe get an audio book CD and listen to it as your drive? Or I know it's not legal, but maybe put in earbuds and listen to soothing music? I say earbuds and not your radio because the music goes straight to the brain and blocks out other sounds; sounds of driving can trigger the urge response.
