I can't stop........
 

pooping. You know that feeling you get with the shivers down the spine. And you're not sure if you'll make it to the bowl on time. I like to call that a moment of human urgency. Well, I get that 5 times a day. Usually 3 times within an hour of waking up. Sometimes in the middle of the night. This has been going on for 12 days now. I'm in pure hell. I provided a stool sample yesterday to my doctor. Talk about being reduced to the disgusting beings we really are. I'm not sure if something's going around but I need this cured. I can't live like this. Thought I'd share.

Well, if you stop putting stuff into the system stuff will stop coming out the other side!

I am eating much lighter.

There's a reason it's called fast food.

More salads and bran? More caffeine? More tobacco?

Under stress?

Are you comfortable with public restrooms? ;)

What's with all the poop threads?

I know the feeling. Suffered from ulcerative colitis for years. I was up to about 20 trips a day, for six years, and it ruined my life. Good thing is, pretty much all GI ailments are fixable & manageable through medicine or diet/exercise changes. Wait for the results to see what it might be. If you're not vomiting too, it's probably not a virus or bacteria.

Wi-fi, laptops, and magazines were invented for just such problems.:p

Roundel & Excellence right next to the bowl. The new ones can't arrive fast enough.

Have you been out of the country recently, eaten any strange foods. Had a similar experience many years ago and just ate dry toast and water for over a week. Never did find out what caused it. That was back in college so it could have been any number of strange behaviors that I pursued.

Hope you get to the bottom of this, so to speak and feel better very soon. In the meantime drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated.

Try a clear liquid diet for 24 hours. No cheating, or it won't help.

JR

You mean water only? What other clear liquids qualify?

Have not been out of the country. I don't eat alot of fast food. I did have some steak tacos from a Mexican joint near work before this started.

Broth soup, flav-o-ice, jello etc...

You should always chase that kinda food with lots of high octane tequila. It works like that stuff they advertise on TV for your septic tank.

I had something similar happen to me in college. Of course, it was caused by my eating 2 boxes of frosted mini wheats in one day.

Try eating a bunch of hot peppers for the next 24 hours. Jalapenos, habaneros, etc.
That won't help but in a couple of days after the burning goes away you won't mind pooping as much.

Sorry. That was ****ty thing to say ;)

I always blamed it on a bad cigarette! :D

Hope it comes out all right in the end.

I'll try that. Of course after the pizza I just ate clears out. No word from the doctor yet either. I'm curious if the stool sample tells anything.

HUH????The ole BAD TACO routine...
