TMI Thursday: The Time I Crapped My Pants

In my senior year of high school I crapped my pants.

Everyone who knows me IRL knows that I have a very sensitive stomach. In high school, my tummy was sick all the time and I even had a colonoscopy at 16 to see if they could find a reason for my sickness. As an adult, I have come to be diagnosed with IBS- Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Basically this means that my tummy sucks and they have no idea why but they can give me medicines to manage my symptoms. I always have Lactaid pills, Immodium, Gas-X, and Tums in my purse. Always.

Anyway, back to the story. My senior year of high school I crapped my pants. Luckily, this didn’t occur at school, but it sucked nevertheless.

It all started because my mom had to return something and I didn’t want to go into the store with her. My mother is obnoxious when dealing with returns and I was tired of being embarrassed. Plus, it was only supposed to take a few minutes.

While she was in the store, I felt my tummy start to feel “off”. I have no other way to describe this feeling, but if you have a sensitive tummy then you know what I mean.

Soon the cramps and grumbling started. I contemplated going into the store to use the bathroom, but then figured my mom would be out soon. I hate having to take a crap in a public restroom and this one felt like it was going to be ugly. I never know what the protocol for noise is and I always end up feeling miserable.

A few minutes later and the cramping became so bad that I was doubled over in pain. I knew there was no way I could walk to the store and find the bathroom at this point. I was stuck.

I tried so hard to keep it from coming, but my tummy had other ideas. As I layed on the floor of my mom’s minivan crying, I crapped my pants.

It was horrible. The smell. The wetness. I can’t describe what it feels like to have not so solid hot waste against your bare body and not be able to do anything about it. It is one of the worst feelings in the world.

My mother found me 10 minutes later, still crying on the floor of the car. The 10 minute ride home and the walk to the bathroom was one of the most horrific things I have ever had to do. I still feel sorry for my poor mother who had to pick up and wash my soiled clothes. I showered for what felt like hours, not being able to feel clean.

I still have a sensitive tummy and I have had lots of close calls where I’ve almost not made it to the bathroom, but this was the only time I ever crapped my pants.

Oh no! My mom has crohn’s disease, so she has to deal with this sorta thing a lot. It’s always a horrifying experience, it sucks you had to deal with it too.
