Man, I've never laughed so hard in my damn LIFE. okay....I just wanted to post in the poo thread. Oh, and check the new signature Seriously, I hope you're okay and all but damn....
see a doctor, being able to **** thru the eye of a needle cannot be good, and certainly a very ****ty situation maybe you could go see Kosmo Kramer the Ass Man
You'd better go see the doc before you quit taking the Immodium - it does temporarily extinguish the problem, but once you quit taking it, it exacerbates the problem. Unless you've had bloody stool, (which would mean the bacteria that is causing this has spread into the rest of your body) you'll probably be able to get over this with a mild dose of antibiotics... There's probably just too many in there, or there's one kind of bacterium that is extinguishing the others that naturally live there. Either way, I'd have to say that you'd better go quick and find out, cuz waiting probably isn't helping. AND ALSO: Have you been drinking enough water to replenish what you've lost in your poo? You're being dehydrated. I'd actually suggest some Gatorade or Powerade instead of just water.
Maybe it wasn't the tamales; try eating some more and see what happens. Be sure to let us know the results.
Hey, what's goin' on Mateo? How's NYC? Not much here, apart from my ass problems as I have detailed in this thread. Hey, you really know how to look on the bright side of things, I guess that's cause you are a "glass is half full" kinda guy. Thanks for the positive outlook on things.
Please ammend the thread title. "I'm having serious ass problems...." equals too many honeys to handle, girlfriend /wife problems, etc... "I'm having serious bowel problems...." would be closer to the mark for this thread.
Cagey, I'll call you tomorrow. Jesus, man, take care of yourself. Thome says you moved in with the lady. Good for you. NYC good, but they work me like a dog. I think our buddy in Sacramento is having a more interesting time than either of us. You gotta read this (from Poke): "I talked to Jose Cuervo the other night to wish him a Happy New Year and to see if we should get Fu-Man's son a gift or something (godparent thing). His female neighbor who was there told me that she was walking around topless in her panties but it was OK because he is gay. I asked him later he was having any type of emotional response to that and he told me it kind of "embarrassed" him. I told her that she should have been my neighbor. Evidently, he comes over often and drinks all of her wine and she is his "wingman' at gay bars." The kid never changes. Good luck with your digestive issues. Make sure its not IBS. And stay away from those free tamales, amigo!!!!
I did not notice this type of system when I was in Hamburg but I noticed it in Amsterdam and I thought it was very weird. I took me a while to get used to it. That system is alleged to be loved by drug dealers and trafficers - those who traffic cocaine for example can shallow small capsule Coke and pick it out from the toilet once they get to Holland. Amazing stuff. cagey vet, I hope you are feeling better now. Please get well.
Dude - you may have Giardia, or some other water borne parasite. If this has been going on for at least 10 days, you need to see a Doctor. Pronto.
gwayneco, I know we've had our differences in D&D, but that just about killed me, I laughed so hard! And it's true. No one who hasn't traveled a lot is ever going to get it, but they really have toilets like that. (and not just in Germany, to be fair, but they seem more "noticeable" there... yuck!) My Dad traveled extensively for years, and found the different toilets in different countries so bizarre that he started taking pictures of them. He made up a slide show called, "Toilets Around the World," which he would trot out to torment some boorish creature visiting our house. We would all groan, and suffer through it. Dad had a crazy sense of humor, to say the least!
Disgusting stuff. Can you imagine...? It gives you more material to tell young people. "Just say no to drugs. You don't know where they've been." And, cagey veteran, if you're still having "serious ass-problems" (and not just the other "serious-ass problems" that you mentioned in your other thread ), then please get your "ass" to a doctor.
Yeah, something common like Salmonella lasts around 3-4 weeks in the intestinal tract. Some people have constant symptons at that time, others become unknowing carriers.
I will give you the sure-fire B-Bob cure for sputter-butt. What you need to do is establish dominance with your intestines. Let them know that you are boss. Let me walk your through an example. Whenever my ass was malfunctioning in the way you describe, I would head for Good Company BBQ (or similar). I would get a BBQ beef sandwich on jalepeno cheese bread with a side of roasted peppers, and I'd wash that down with a few beers. The thing is that your innards need to know there are consequences for bad behavior. ---------------- Does anyone here remember when Beavis took lots of Kaopectate (sp). He read that you should take it "for diarrhea," and he really wanted that. "I drank two bottles, but NOTHING! Then, after a few days, I pooped a big dry brick."
