Teachers who use phrases like “pooping my pants” should retire.

Not a teacher, but a similar thing where I can only use the bathroom at certain times. Immodium helps on rough days.

The OP asked teachers.
It’s because of the post that says no other professions have limited access to a bathroom. Many times, teachers post things that suggest they have the hardest jobs and no one else has challenges. These comments demonstrate a real lack of awareness about other people’s jobs. If that poster hadn’t said there are no other jobs with limited access to bathrooms, no one would have chimed in about other jobs.

And then someone commented that “I don’t think there are any other professions where you can’t step out to use the restroom”, and people responded that there are myriad other professions where one cannot get up to use the restroom immediately.

This is my 32nd year teaching in an ES. I have never experienced any anxiety over restroom use, but over the past year and a half it has caused issues with pelvic floor pain due to muscles being too tight. After finally being referred to PT it is getting better. The PT said emptying the bladder 3 times over 10 hours on average for 30 years probably contributed to the problem.

Because it’s super peculiar that teachers think they are uniquely situated in so many ways, including not being able to go to the bathroom on demand. And I don’t think anyone is saying these other professions have it WORSE, just that it’s a common problem at jobs.

I talked about a solution earlier on in this post, but I just wanted to say that it does work. Nullo tablets eliminates the smell so you can do it in your underwear without anyone knowing. I always wear underwear with thick or double material as well. I first discovered it when I was in high school but still used it now.
If you have a job where you can’t just leave to go to the toilets like a teacher it would work for you.

I have experienced this a lot unforunately though not a teacher. I have ibs, gastro found no other causes. I recently started ib guard and it seems to have helped. My triggers are my period and too much coffee/tea, fruit or fiber.

I’m a lawyer who experiences both urinary and fecal incontinence. I cannot leave court, which is a real problem. I technically can leave meetings but it looks super unprofessional and is very disruptive. Incontenence is a problem in any profession, obviously.

You need to treat your medical problem, OP.

Really? "any others"? Bus driver and surgeon come to mind right away. I'm sure there are many, many others.

I have seriously overactive bowels. Probably irritable bowel syndrome although it’s never been diagnosed. There have been many many close calls where I have been sweating bullets on my way to the restroom, and have even worked out an escape scenario where I bring my cell phone and car keys with me to the bathroom, so if the worst happens I can jump in my car and leave.
Have any other teachers put serious thought into what they would do if they ever find themselves in this humiliating situation?
I am not a teacher but discovered that the best solution is to take Nullo tablets and wear two underwear or ones with thick material. I hated using the toilets to poop during high school and found that combination worked, and I could do it in my underwear without being discovered. I had the same problem with the toiles when I started working so started doing the same thing.
God, I hope you're kidding, but otherwise this might explain why one of my coworkers reeks of sh!t all the time.
No, I'm not. Maybe they should start taking nullo tablets, so they don't reek all the time. When I started taking them during high school it made a big difference, so I started doing it virtually every day.

Not worried about pooping- I have that under control. But I have had to hold my pee for way too long and then I try to not waddle down the very long hallway, and when I get there it’s occupied.
But I also understand that other occupations also have long meetings, or events, or drives etc. We all get desperate for a bathroom sometimes!
