I keep wishing this topic would disappear. Not really what my eyes want to scan across while looking at topics in OT. :p

I'm just being a whiner - hope you get better dude.

tallbill, how the heck did you survive 5 weeks :Q

It was when I came back from Afghanistan. I'm guessing from major diet changes or something, but I just got used to it. I wasn't "sick" in any other sense other then squirts for a long time, every time.

i dealt with the same thing after coming back from kenya. 2 weeks of diarrhea, somewhat back to normal for a week and then another week of diarrhea. i am pretty sure you and i were both dealing with some foreign bacteria.

Thanks. I have tried every diet in the world, but I just could not stop the all day nibble here and there out of the fridge routine. Until I read this post today and lost my appetite.
I'm losing weight already.... :thumbsup:

Don't worry about it since you'll be OK.

Seriously, you really need to stay hydrated

Oh, and what other kind of diarrhea is there besides watery?

In all honesty look up the BRAT diet.

It cures it FAST. Bananas, Rice, applesauce and toast.

well, this morning, I did my business and I'm back to normal for the 1st time in a week

been on anti-biotics since sat so I don't know if that did it or the "cleaner" diet I've put myself on. honestly I haven't had much of an appetite so I've just been eating white rice, veggies, and water/gatorade only. either that or it was viral and non of this helped anyways...

I've spoken to several people at the office and they all seem to be going through the same thing or have family members that do.

anyways, I'm glad to be healthy again.

this is the 1st time I've been sick since in probably 2 years and I plan on staying healthy...hate the feeling of being helpless
