As far as I can tell, this may be accurate. I've observed that we (USA) have a taboo around discussing what happens in the bathroom. I've pushed back on this and, anecdotally, have uncovered that this is all too common an experience. I wound up testing myself for food allergies and sensitivities and learned that there's a whole range of foods that my body can't handle. As I share my situation, I find more and more people that are waking up to a similar situation.

    I’ve observed that we (USA) have a taboo around discussing what happens in the bathroom.

    Is that not normal? I don't think most people are interested in how massive a shit I had last night unless it's my doctor. We also have a term of "toilet humor" to suggest that jokes around it are some of the crudest, lowest brow humor possible.

    re: the post: It's rare but it's happened a few times for some particularly bad bouts. I don't think it was anything serious, probably just some slightly spoiled food or maybe slightly undercooked chicken.
