I am drinking plenty of water, but it's hard with the constant interuptions. Not only that, but I have to go back down to a trade show and work the booth for the next 3 hours. This should be a LOT of fun. I am going to hold it in for the next few hours as my rear is as sore as my nose during a bad cold.

Good advice. Many people don;t realize how seriously dehydrating diarheaa can be..ie more stomach cramps.

After a while, you should be expelling water, hopefully along with the microbe that blessed you with such a glorious afflliction :p

Oh god this is just what I needed, roflmao. Good stuff.


You're likely going to need some anti-biotic's and some diarheaa meds. And like others said, let nature take its corse. Drink a lot of water.

STOP

Go to the drug store and pick up an Electrolyte solution. They usually have this stuff in the baby aisle.

When you have a severe case of the runs, you should be drinking this instead of water for a few days.

Sorry to hear this, been there.

Hilarious thread. Good luck at the trade show, man. Figures you would have to do that when you're sick.

If you want to avoid anus rash (from excessive wiping) instead of making a wiping motion, make a dabbing motion. Blot your anus to avoid the rash, and consequently painful irritation.

YES! Otherwise you will die from dehydration.
That is really serious.
Drink some Pedialyte

Thank you all for your concern and your wise advice. During the show I drank as much water as possible. Luckily the volume was so loud that I couldn't hear my innards twisting and shouting.

After 3 hours of the show, I felt much better. Being that I am not a very smart person, I joined some coworkers to Ruth Chris Steakhouse. Of course I got several drinks (6 of them) and some read meat (filet mignon), as well as lots of apps, sides, and a creme brulle dessert. I swear to God I must be the dumbest person alive.

I just got back to my room and the farting has picked up, and I might have to pass a stool, but no crazy pains like before. Perhaps I'll have some more news at 4am...

I'd like to thank Fausto for the sig idea.

FYI, eating and drinking was not a good idea. I had a whicked night filled with even more whicked dumps. My hole is back to the sore stage, and I have to work the trade show again today. Even worse is I will have to check out of my hotel room soon, meaning I will have to use the <gasp> public rest room <gasp>! I will eat only enough to survive today.

Reminds me of a very wise old proverb, "Rectum, it nearly killed him."

Sounds like when I got Salmonella poisoning. Man I was crapping every 5-10 minutes, no joke! Oh and it was soooo damned painful to wipe after the first day. It lasted for about a week or so and then I was better. My doc put me on the BRAT diet.

I know it's not funny, but that is funny! :D

"Blot your anus" YES SIR!
