Holy crap!!! Seriously, immodium works whether you have the squirts or not, but it will only delay the prob as once you stop taking it and it still happens, you need to see a doc... Probably the tamales if you haven't had this happen before, but make sure you stay on a liquid diet, meaning soup, water, gatorade, etc...No milk, cheese, OJ, cokes, etc...give it a couple of days and then hopefully it will pass (no pun intended)...
Speaking of things excretory: German Toilets Whenever folks who have lived or traveled in Germany gather for a beer, sooner or later one subject is sure to rear its ugly head: what is the deal with those toilets? German toilets are quite extraordinary. Other European toilets - well, the ones that aren't merely holes in the floor - work much like their North American cousins. They are shaped a little differently, but the basic principle is the same: the excrement either lands directly in the water or it slides down a steep slope into the water, before being flushed away. Simple, effective and clean. See? Not so the German toilet. The excrement lands on a bone-dry horizontal shelf, mere inches beneath one's posterior. Repeated flushings are required to slide the ordure off the shelf into a small water-filled hole, from which it hopefully disappears. See? I do not understand the purpose of this toilet. It does not save water - you must flush it eight or ten times to remove every last scrape and smear. It is not hygienic - the smell is ungodly. The only conceivable explanation is that Germans love to inspect their stool, so the German toilet of necessity features a built-in stool inspection shelf. I wouldn't be surprised if the more expensive models include a digital scale: "Mein Gott, zwei kilogram!" exclaims Günter, joyful and relieved. Further research has revealed that the German toilet is in fact designed to facilitate stool examination. This is a wise, healthy practice, argue Germans, a person's best defence against intestinal disease, water-borne parasites or worm-riddled, undercooked pork sausage. While this made perfectly good sense around 1900, thanks to improvements in public health the whole shelf business should have become obsolete shortly after World War II. more -> http://www.spies.com/~scott/misc/toilet.htm

i'm pretty sure Isabel is a she and, surely a cagey veteran would not abuse the english language in such a way
I wasn't sure whether he meant, you know, serious ass-problems, or serious-ass problems. So... I decided to click on it and find out. I knew there was a possibility it could be "ass problems", but who knows... maybe he pulled a glute muscle or was just having trouble fitting it into his jeans. Or, of course, he was having excretory issues. I just wasn't prepared for vivid descriptions of his poo. Anyway, sorry about your sh!tty situation...
D'oh! I wasn't paying attention to who was quoted, and around here "he" has over a 99% chance of being correct.
Okay, I went ahead and picked up the Walgreen's version of Immodium. I've had one movement since then, and it was extremely weird. Not quite as gooey as previous ones, but kind of inconsistent and really peculiar looking. I am also of the opinion that if it has been going on this long, it is probably more serious than over the counter medications will fix. I'm gonna wait a little longer, because I'm thinking I'll go to the doctor, and he will examine me and then just tell me to wait and it will get better. Or if it is a really serious problem, I don't think I want to know about it.
Im with Max on this one.... I dont mind sharing some things with yall....but the consistency and texture of my ass output isnt one of them. but...nothing surprises me around here anymore..
Have you had any time unaccounted for? Do you recall any bright lights? Tractor beams? Alien anal probes?
