As someone with IBS and Celiacs disease this is basically my worst nightmare.

I had something similar happen once while deep water SCUBA diving in Baja California.

Trying to hold it when I needed a decompression time was awful. I didn't make it and the stuff made it all the way up my suit and into my beard. I was surrounded by fish though like a Disney princess as apparently they liked the taste. Less so of the group I was scuba diving with. They swam over to see the fish and I tried to wave them away.

The worst part was the miserable 2 hour boat ride back with shoulder to shoulder space and over a dozen people crammed shoulder to shoulder with my stinking suit sitting in the middle of the boat, and having to ask the captain to stop every few minutes so I could jump overboard and shit again. :(

I mean, except that time it's not like I can't hold it. It's just difficult sometimes. The only times that worry me is if I can't find a bathroom within 20 minutes or so. Also since I figured out the whole Celiacs thing it's gotten much better.

And I am definitely not proud, I just lost all shame years ago. Why bother? The less you are embarrassed by things like that the less people care.

I like making people happy and bringing joy into the world. I'm sharing this story with strangers on the internet because it's funny, and I don't mind people laughing at my expense. I've got plenty going on right in my life I can take a hit or two on stupid stuff like this.

I know my strengths and weaknesses and don't hide from either. I address my weaknesses head on and with zero shame and that is something I AM proud of.

actually it's cringe and it'd be best if you don't share it more

Yes, it's a humiliating story from decades ago. That's the point it's supposed to be cringe inducing.

I think what's more cringe is you caring enough to make this comment, especially to come back like a month later. Just laugh if you find cringe humor funny, and ignore otherwise.

Good lord that SUCKS man!!! I have minor IBS and it can be a bitch when it kicks up... I cannot imagine that all the time.

I try to make a point not to go anywhere or with anything I cannot pop a squat at least. My condolences my guy.
