I had diarrhea for 8 days straight and three days ago i just started getting my regular bowels back. It came out like regular turds but still alittle strange looking while i stuck my head inches away from the toliet water to get a view. The problem now is i haven't done the #2 since than which was 4 days ago if we include today.

When am i going to do the #2 again. I just ate some burger king so hopefully that makes me #2. Im really eager to see my old turds back to normal.


Thanks. [this is a serious question]

Yep, i ate normal. Hots dogs, hamburgers, pizza puffs. You name it. It shouldve been came out of me. I drank 8 Gatorade since the last couple days of my sickness to help energizer my body back up.

what is with people these days? Why not... oh you know, call up the doc's office and ask if you need to make an appointment. 8 days straight of diarrhea is typically concern enough, or you're eating habits are foul or continue to eat the same tainted food each day.
Look to what you have been eating, and if that was in the same time as eating anything new.
Regardless, check in with a real doctor. And make sure your getting a lot of fluids and some electrolytes in for what was lost. Unless you were on top of that to begin with, I'm surprised you didn't go into severe dehydration during those 8 days... so I'm guessing you kept up with water intake.

edit: digestive-track viruses and food poisoning typically never last more than a few days at most. You wouldn't have a 'stomach bug' for that long, that's for sure. And now that your regular bowel movements seem to be screwed up after recovery, I definitely suggest making a visit to the doc's office.
edit2: a little research suggests some nastier bugs that cause gastroenteritis can last as long as you've described... but you would definitely want to hit up a doctor by about the 5th day of symptoms.
Sorry, but I gotta drill the fact into you that you should definitely go to a doctor, and for future reference, go to a doctor earlier. :p

You eat like shit and your body is pissed off. Making you piss out your ass is its way of telling you to clean up your diet a little.

Basically what I was thinking. Your diet is pretty poor and I wouldn't be surprised if you picked up some nasty bug from some of the (poorly) prepared food you ate.

Exactly. How about you stop eating pizza, burger king, etc and start eating lean meats, nuts, cheeses, milks, brown rice, legumes, etc. Also incorporate lots of veggies and fruit to help with the fiber. If you don't do that, don't complain to us about being clogged.
