This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon might need to see a doctor. I don't think it's normal to become incontinent the moment you turn 30. Also, I've personally never had any issues with holding it in.

There were several very angry comments about eating more fiber lol

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I would think about my diet/stress/caffeine level if I even had cramps before a shit, like what are you doing to your body if shitting is regularly a struggle at age 30 without a medical problem? Your life could be so much better if you took care of yourself/sought medical advice. I know not everyone can afford to see a doctor, but it’s cheaper to catch something like bowel cancer early.

Yeah, fiber would be 0 help here, and possibly make it worse. Anon needs to see a doctor.

Personally I find it annoying and frustrating that people will automatically assume poop problems means the person needs more fiber no matter what. It's not a magic cure-all, and pretending like it is is completely stupid

I tried more fiber when I had undiagnosed celiac disease and yeah, it isn’t a fix.

Nope. I'm over 30 and it's like a light switch. 😜

Jk, no issues whatsoever with my sphincter.

30 days after you turn thirty though, that's probably fine, same if 10 days prior.
