OMG, lately going to the loo with my pouch is so loud that I think my next door neighbour can hear me.
I like to at least try and be quiet. I don't want it echoing through my own house, let alone breaking the barriers to the next door neighbour.

Yesterday when I thought he may have heard I felt so embarrassed, but then laughed hysterically about it.
In all honesty I am ashamed, and I bet they don't feel like eating that jar of strawberry jam I made and sent over to them at the weekend.

Every time I see them now, I will know they know I am a noisy ****ter and oh god I won't be able to look at them in the eyes anymore.

But having that EXPLOSION feels sooooooooo good! Somehow, we just have to work through the embarrassment! Best wishes!

haha, yeah.... it's almost euphoric getting rid of it all.

They say that 6 sneezes in a row equal an orgasm...so what does 1 massive explosion equal?

LOL! Sooo funny! But CeeeeCeeee is right...it does feel so good when it happens and you're *EMPTY*

..and the release of the gas feels so good. That said, since I now have enhanced holding powers I usually can hold until I get home. If I can't wait I head for a multi stall restroom.

My sister is always aware of the noise issue for me. So whenever we are in a restroom with multiple stalls, or people waiting in line, she makes as much noise as possible by turning on faucets, hand dryers. Heck, once she even sang really loud for me

Sometimes if you know it is going to be loud but brief, flushing your own toilet can mask some of the deafening roar...

Tammy,
I tried that but only ended up getting my butt washed with rather unhygenic toilet water! Yuck!
Those infrared automatic toilet flushes drive me nuts...every time I move or lean forward I end up getting my bottom rinced...

Reminds me of my pre-pouch days when I was on Asacol and could swear I was passing them whole. My GI doc tried to convince me I was only passing the empty shell (capsule). I would try to retrieve them from the toilet (with gloved hands, of course)so I could prove the medication was still in the capsule. "Whoosh!" would go the automatic flusher.....before I could retrieve the capsule! Damn!

CeCe, I did the same thing but at home and your GI was right. Glad to know I wasn't the only one fishing in my poop.

AHA! Sharon, I agree about those sensor toilets! Going to Disney World (where those toilets are everywhere) is like a constant butt wash for me. It's like by Disney standards, I am not living up to the ideal allotted time to be on the toilet. It could make a lesser woman feel the shame of being a sub par pooper

Tammy,
On the other hand...you probably had the cleanest butt in all of disney world! It beats no TP and no water (my 1st experience at Disney in 78 with the worst gastro of my life!)

Oh, you guys crack me up! For some reason I can only pass gas when going to the bathroom or laying on my stomach or side. But when I do - watch out! My husband is soooo jealous of my farts. Even after 10 years, he's still amazed and wishes we could use that talent for good! He even brags about it to his friends. I used to be embarrassed, but it is what makes me ME I guess!

Well, SweetPea,
There is solar energy, hydrolique energy, wind energy...maybe we could invent....fart energy???? A whole new way to light up your house??? Maybe we could invent some sort of anal, wind-powered turbine?
I just want to know who the gas collecter would be!
Sharon

Oh man i have this problem big style! I am convinced everyone in the house can hear me and at work it's worse, i cant go to the bathroom if someone is in there!
I find lifting the whole seat up and sitting low in the bowl helps to mask the sounds (and makes less mess) but that doesnt work so well since i've lost weight....!
