I am so happy to have found this site! I have been having a problem for the past 4 months and I am too embarassed to tell my doctors - NEED ADVICE! My BM has been soft for 4 months straight - sometimes I will get sudden cramps where I need to get to a toilet NOW! and today I noticed something bizarre - smoke was literaly coming from the toilet bowel from my BM - what is that?

Smoke in BM

Smoke is new to me - I have no idea about that.
I think you should go to a doctor. Your mention of cramps suggests you might have Irritable Bowel Syndrome - see http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/ibs_ez/. However, there are other possibilities.

was it cold in the bathroom? perhaps it was steam. I also think you should go get checked for IBS.

You don't eat jalapenos do you? Those can make your butt smoke! j/k

My dog's pile of poop would smoke on a cold winter's day :grin:

Smoke??? I doubt it. Maybe steam. If your crap is like warm and it hits the cool toilet water. I think Ive seent his before. I"ll see like a faint cloud coming up. It could be gas that is visible.If you think its a real problem then see the doctor. Theres nothing to be embarassed about. Better to find out now then later.They have heard everything so no reason to be scared.
