finally neolibs have an answer to "if a bear shits in the woods" riddle: make it Kaczynski-loud.
Real talk, I've been fighting with GI issues for over a year now (I can explain if there's an audience, but cw: poop talk) and I was recently told by my mom that prostate cancer runs in the family so that's scary.

Alright, so, I shit anywhere from 3-12 times a day, and it's always completely wet, not solid at all, and in very small chunks. Also, it is becoming abundantly clear that my body is not fully digesting food - ever since this started, I can clearly see some things I eat, like especially vegetables and stuff, in my stool. The only thing that really helps get me normal is taking like 4+ immodiums at once. That's the only way I can take a solid poop (6+ hours later after they wear off). It's been brought to my attention that this might be a "simple" case of celiacs or something, as I do enjoy carbs, but outside of that my partner is pescatarian so we eat a ton of vegetables and seafood (maybe 1-2 nights a week on the seafood), so my diet isnt too bad compared to a lot of people. I HAVE talked to my doctor about it, but even with insurance, she wants to do bloodwork and a few other common tests, and those cost money that I can't really afford to drop right now (the mutual aid comm actually just helped me out this past friday). So yeah, I think that's everything.
Goddamn, your toilet must look like a jackson pollock painting.
That definitely sounds similar to celiac or chron’s. Hopefully that’s all that’s going on.
Also 12 times a day has got to be ridiculous.
Luckily I can reasonably control it to where I have never once been in danger of shitting myself, so thats good. But yeah, the toilet looks pretty gnarly.

Sometimes it's even just entirely liquid.
But also, yeah, there is ZERO pain or discomfort, so thankfully having to go to the bathroom so often is really the only frustrating thing. Also, I'm almost 32, and this has only really been going on for a year or so, so like....idk, I'd much rather it be celiacs or something than prostate cancer. Not that any of those sound fun or anything.
I ran into similar problems with constant liquid stool. Doctor performed blood work, whoch was ineed expensive (like 100 woth insurqnce) , turns out I likely have IBS.
One thing, though, I literally never shat 12 times a day. Try cutting out Wheat, and then dairy, see if that changes anything. If not you might likely have have either chrona or Celiac’s,
Just updated my initial comment, wanted to test the spoiler tags first. Poop talk is there for you comrade!
