Not yet, knock on wood. I stopped during my first half, because I thought I might have to but I was wrong. I'm like texassmith, my tummy is usually pretty strong. I've even adjusted my fueling plan during a race, and suffered no ill effects.
Only once. Luckily it was deserted because they were building the road and there were HUGE piles of dirt. I have had SO many close calls though. I plan my routes around access to bathrooms and usually don't go out until I am certain the system is clear. Still, it's a major issue for me.
As for tp, that one time I think I used my dollar store gloves and then threw them in the construction dumpster when I was done.
For the poopers: have you started carrying tissue? It can't be pleasant to run home with swamp ass.
I keep tissue in my fuel belt, but I usually only wear that if I am going more than eight miles or the temps are 80+ and humid. If I am going less than eight miles I live on the edge.
Maybe I just have a stomach of steel, but this thread fascinates me. It amazes me that so many people have this problem regularly. Idk. I mean, sure, I've had stomach issues or felt an urge, but I push through it. If I have to slow down a second, I do. Same for peeing. The feeling eventually passes. Along with my legs & heart, I also train my bladder & bowels for race day! Lol

My problem isn't just when I run. I have seen a gastro Dr. for it. I have had to stop at the most unsavory places because of emergencies during road trips. There is no training my system. I go from not having to go at all to shitting my pants if I don't find a bathroom in about 2 minutes flat. Holding it is not an option. It is TERRIBLE.
No, but I once barely made it home, realized dh was taking a bath in our only bathroom and jumped in my car to go to McDonalds. I hit the garbage can on my rush to get there fast and broke my tail light (DH put 2 of our 2 cans in the middle of our circular driveway, and #3 on the opposite edge of the driveway behind my car. )
Runners trots are no joke. There is NO WAY I was going to take care of that with dh right there.

Yeah, this was me until I had kids. Kids fuck you up, man.

Try eating popcorn with butter 45 min before a run.

Report back with your findings.
Also see peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
LOL! Well if you know it causes issues, stop doing that!
I kid. I know it's not so simple for everyone to train through it. Amongst my running group, I definitely have one of the stronger stomachs.

I actually have cut back on the PB and J and the popcorn--and I haven't had a true issue since living here in GA...so you are right!
But every once in a while...I'll be like "OMG Popcorn sounds so good, that's such a good snack right now..>I bet I can handle it..yeah...let's try it..nom nom"

--I have to agree...I can eat peanut butter any other time with no stomach issues...but NEVER before a run! Glad someone else has the same issue :-)
Yup! Once I found a wooded area and was sure no one could see. Next time I drove past it I noticed there are several office windows overlooking the area. Oops!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem!
'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather, to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming 'Woohoo! What a ride!' So every day is a holiday and every meal a feast."

I haven't had too much of a problem with this yet. The one time I had a pooping emergency, I was staying up at the lake for a week. One morning during my run, I was at the Im-about-to-shit-my-pants point. Lucky for me, I was right next to a shopping center with a bathroom. Not so lucky for the shoppers passing by the restroom. :-p
