Seriously If I'm on NOT on 5 -asa I'm ok and not pooping my pants when I'm on them, bam happens three times in one week and I'm mean it's like my whole body is purging. Just happened when I went to pick up lunch, just now! It's  terrrible people. My whole body empties. I drive back to work and thank god my boss wasn't here, we have a shower and I had a change of clothes. All though I'm so mix matched my boss is going to wonder what the heck happened to me! I don't care about that, but I think maybe rectal meds is all I can handle.

I always poop while driving. I don't know why it's where it all started back in '05 and continues today.

Is there a stimulate, something that would make me feel jumpy jittery and I get nervous feelings on them when I take them. 

I'm in a panic still because you go into survival mode after you poop, you just think OMG I got to clean up and hurry and clean up and clean up it's a pure panic attack. I'm still shaking! I'm trying not to cry.

Sorry to hear about your accident at work. I feel your pain as I've been there and done it recently due to the god awful flare I'm fighting. Car rides right now are a nightmare as I get about a 1-minute warning that I have to go really bad.

Today, I got a frosty during my lunch break and as I was in eye sight of Wendy's I suddenly had to go badly. I just made it to the parking lot, parked, and sat on the throne just in the nick of time.

Last week, I didn't make it back from lunch in time. I was parking the car at work and felt it happen. I did the walk of shame into the office and hoped it didn't show through. It didn't show through, only a little came out, but yeah it is a heck of a mind-trip. I was able to clean up in the bathroom here.

Hahaha, you guys sound like me.

I shat in a grocery bag again today. Went a secluded parking lot, went in back of the car, dropped my pants and opened up.

Also, if you do that, you gotta make sure you stick the penis in the bag also otherwise you might end up peeing on the floormat while dumping the bag.

hahaha, graphic description enough for you?

It works well though, I wiped, stored everything and went to work. Only lost like 5 mins.

It could be that you're slightly intolerant to the 5ASAs. Not enough that it causes a massive reaction, but enough so that it causes you to have more urgency. And it might always happen in the car because you have anxiety about being in the car and/or having an accident in the car, and the anxiety stimulates your bowels.

Somedude, I'm pretty sure therearemiracles is female, so no penis.

Yes, I'm female all the way! You guys are funny. I always think every one this forum are girls, I don't know why it that way for me. But the names somedude, old mike and aguywithuc are the only guys I think of on the board.

Anyways thanks for the laughs you guys. It really wiped me out. I had to sleep for a hour and a half. I think I'm purging yeast. I have little white spots in my poo and always told it was yeast.

I had candex two days ago and have had terramin clay the last two days and I think it just cleaned me out.

oh gosh linda. sorry this happens to you a lot! 5asas never did much for me, but i'm very intolerant to mesalamines. i never had diarrhea until i started them.

i remember one time we were coming home from a weeklong hospital stay. the hospital was over an hour away so i was nervous as hell about my bathroom situation. i've still never had an accident in the car, but you never know. i ended up having to go suddenly and we stopped in front of my favorite middle eastern restaurant. of course, there's only parallel parking and time was ticking. luckily, i made it out of the car and into the bathroom. my mom waited outside the door and when i came out, she was eating hummus and pita. i guess i took too long haha and she was like "oh i just had to order something while we're here. it's our favorite place!"

sad to hear what happened. it might be what fruitgirl says, but it may also be that with some lowering of inflammation, things flow more freely.

I'd say more intolerance, but I'll assume you don't poo daily in the car?

You've just added something else to the mix, so could be that.

Are you taking any probiotics as well?

yes taking probiotics. It's been every two days I poo in the car. It's bright orange like the colazal. But my blood is less I would say, so I have to stick with it to get that inflammation and blood down to heal. Yeah and I added a yeast eliminator and did some terrmin clay.

I have that problem with enemas. Doesnt matter what kind. The foam ones dont do it and neither does Canasa. But a liquid enema and urgency is crazy.

You don't say what you had eaten/drunk in the morning or at work.

I react quickly to lactose, too much coffee, too much fiber, carbonated beverages and salads served in restaurants (often treated with chemicals to maintain crisp look). Also noticed that eating certain varieties of oatmeal will cause a general "emptying out".

The number and looseness of BMs I have each day directly relates to my diet.

Also, what are the possible side effects of the candex and clay?

I just mentioned this in a recent thread, but this sounds exactly what I was like after I developed "mesalamine induced acute intolerance syndrome." According to pharma disclosures with the meds, it's pretty rare, but reading trough forums it seems it might be more of a problem.

Obviously, diet can contribute. Stress can contribute. Everything can contribute, so it's hard to say exactly. :/

But I sure feel ya. I'm always concerned about pooping my pants, especially in the car. I've probably used every toilet in my city. ;)

Anxiety would make my gut spasm, and the potential for a spasm would give me anxiety. It's a vicious circle.
