When I get a complete evacuation, I go until there's nothing left in me, and it takes up to 3 hours for *everything* to go-- usually punctuated by the last bit being powdery stuff that sits like silt at the bottom of the bowl. The last bit is usually water shooting straight out of my butt (sorry if tmi). I drink a lot of water to keep from passing out while I'm on the bowl. At the end, it just comes shooting out after I drink it.
I can usually tell that everything's out when I get that sucking crampy feeling in my stomach. It's accompanied by *ravenous* hunger, but I can't eat because that'll come right out at 90mph.
Also there's "dry heaves." You know the dry heaves you get after you're done vomiting? Like you're still gagging but nothing's coming out? These dry heaves are from the other end. There's just an urge to push, even after the last watery bit has gone. This usually symbolizes the end of an attack for me.

I can't imagine feeling that way again either. Poor you Nelly!

Oh my God - I thought that was just me with the dry heaving stuff! I've never given much thought when I've seen 'complete evacuation' mentioned on the boards, but when I now think back to the times when it's happened to me it's so horrible. Where you get up off the toilet, get just about back into doing / going where you were before and bang! back you have to run to the toilet. Yuck... 
Anyways, just glad the whole 'bum retching' (what I've christened it in those dark hours spent bored and lonely on the toilet!) thing isn't just me..  (Even though I wouldn't wish it on anyone, if you get what I mean )

Okay, I'll be downright honest--it gives me D that has the viscosity of a runny baking mix and is often the most bizarre colours. So, instead of just a "watery" its kind of like muffin or cookie or brownie mix, pre-baked version. My poop is like watery gruel/cereal/cream of rice or baby food cereal. I hope this is not too explicit. Also, it has an explosively gassy effect. I don't know if taking beano would help--guar gum is a bean fiber, I believe and commonly used in gf baking mixes, and other foods as a stabilizing agent. I'm sure it's also used in vegan egg replacers. I've seen it in soy yogurts as an ingredient. It's also common in hair/skin lotions and even some toothpastes.
Often it is orange, too.
What does it do to you?
Maybe I'll test the theory that Beano might help combat the gas aspect.

Oh man, that feels good to know it's not just me either!! I just needed to hear that. It's so weird we all go through pretty much the same thing.

Mine gets stringy and with these white threads running through it. When I took citrucel (which is actually orange itself??) mine was orange and like some sort of dark orange raw cake batter. Also I dound I had little control of it, ie when I went, I went big. (sorry again if tmi)

Hey on a bad day I go about 5 to 8 times. It's an all day affair. I live in the bathroom those days. I hate it because it prevents me from going out and gettin things done. I take 2 Immodium when I go places so it gives me some peace of mind. But sometimes I find I will go anyway and have to take additional immodium. I have issues too with not being able to go for 2 or 3 days afterward and when I do go it's always D.
I dont take any SF but I have Acacia just haven't tried it yet. Do you follow any sort of diet. I just try to avoid dairy and extremely sugary sweets. Those seem to hurt my stomach the worst.

Nelly, that's not TMI. But(t), 2L of bm is not my idea of fun. Those SFS have caused me major back pain/cramps. I felt like a 2L dump, a big gulp of poo. Okay, I'll shut up--however, I just cannot digest funny "gums" and manufactured fibers.
