Has anyone ever sharted aka when you pass gas and crap at the same time?

I feel so embarrassed. This happened to me twice. I always thought this was a made-up thing that people joke about, not something that could actually happen. Luckily, I was not around anyone and got to the bathroom quickly. It didn't get on my underwear and I was able to clean up okay, but it's so embarrassing!

Please tell me I'm not the only one that has ever happened to.

Oh yeah...
These things get more 'intense' as you get older.
So much to look forward to.

Don't feel so bad. Like that other person said **** happens… It sucks but life goes on right? It does happen to others and if it hasn't happened to them yet it will..

I've had it happen. You are right it is so embarrassing. I blamed it on my meds but maybe age is my issue. Just one more thing to hate about getting old.

Good question, I am going to look into it.

It happens to a lot of people. Because of my lupus, I have gastrointestinal symptoms and get diarrhea at any given moment, uncontrollably. I have not made it to the bathroom a couple times. I suppose if I thought it was just a fart, and it turned out to be more, it would be a shart. I never take the risk though, especially after I eat. I always go to the bathroom to fart. lol.

I haven't looked at the replies but you're not alone!

I've had the not so happy "sharting" (had no idea there was a word for it!) in January of this year and about five years ago in hospital.

Both events occurred when I was in bed.

The one this year wasn't horrendous but did go through my boxers and onto the bed linen. I cleaned up as best as I could but had to wait until morning, when my caregiver arrived, to get a full shower and get new linens on my (already stripped) bed. Gas and diarrhea were side effects of a new medication that I had started.

The first event, in hospital, was exponentially worse – I am so glad that I was surrounded by nurses and nurse's aids. I was admitted into ICU in the afternoon and had to drink gallons of some type of 'go-juice' so I could have a colonoscopy early in the morning. I drank more and more as the hours passed and was asking for help with the bedpan more and more frequently. I felt a little pressure that didn't seem to need a bedpan... and my water broke and I gave birth to triplets.

I'll read the other replies, now. I'm only going to start worrying when there is no explanation for such an intimate event.
