The documentary follows seven young women with bowel problems. Due to the discomfort caused by bowel problems, it is extremely important for them to be able to just talk about stool. Sanne Savelsbergh has IBS and made the documentary about this condition. “As a young woman I struggled a lot with intense complaints. But it wasn’t until I got a little older that I started talking about it more openly and then I found out how much a woman who suffers from it,” she told Editie NL.
The complaints meant that she was very much confined to her home. “My stomach was very bloated, as if I were pregnant. And I suffered from constipation or diarrhea attacks. I didn’t want to leave the house.”
She also found dating difficult. But since she has been working on the documentary and talking about it a lot more, she has noticed that it is getting easier. Men are sometimes too quick to ‘pretty girls don’t poop’, which they also perpetuate. But when you talk about it, it’s actually not crazy at all. Logically, we cannot afford not to kiss. I want to face women with slimming problems who are suffering from them and come out about it.”
Animal instinct
Although she is aware that women sometimes find that very difficult. “I think that also has to do with our animal instincts. If you had to poop in the past, you couldn’t protect yourself and that makes you a “feeling vulnerable.”
“But it’s so human and so primal at the same time,” she continues. “I think we should just talk about it and not make such an education about it. It doesn’t have to be stupid, we can be careful.”
The gastroenterologist Suzanne Jeurnink also sees many women in practice who do not want to talk about loss and intense complaints. “Everyone is embarrassed about it,” she told Editie NL. “Women are more forced to go into straitjackets and they’re not allowed to smell and they have to be quick. This is more common for men. It used to be said that the queen jumps out of each other. But that’s not true.”
According to her, it is extremely important to talk about bowel movements – and problems related to them. “If you are so embarrassed that you don’t even want to go to the toilet, it can only make the complaints worse. Stopping the urge can have a big impact on the pelvic floor and can’t to that but to make the grievances worse.”
Mariël Croon, director of the Maag Lever Intestine Foundation, recognizes the taboo on women who suffer. “It’s a cultural thing for us, as women, to be polite, look good and not make noise. A kind of temperament that was brought into him, where I think that pocket is even more taboo than sex. “
According to Croon, choking is seen as unpleasant. “Although this is one of our first activities in life. When a baby has made his first poop, we are happy, it is only after that that it becomes taboo.”
‘Your health starts in your stomach’
She advises just talking about it. “Talk about it more in your relationship, in your group of friends and talk about it when men are present. We need to talk about it normally with each other: it’s a part of life. Your health starts in your stomach , with your belly.”
