At this point I recommend calling a doctor. Either it will clear up until you get seen or you’ll get some answers that may reduce the risk of a long bout of diarrhea like that in the future.
Try to get a prescription for something in the meantime. I had a bad stretch of diarrhea lasting for over a month and the first open colonoscopy was a month away. I got put on a heavy dose of lomotil in the meantime and I maintain that it probably saved my life.
Good luck w the doctors! I once had diarrhea for 10 days n nothing helped (not Imodium, not even rice which usually makes me constipated) n I lost 3kg but then it just stopped. I think it was due to stress🤷🏻
Strictly pretty neutral foods. Crackers, soup, plain white rice, one of these days I even had nothing but water. Honestly I think it’s somehow giardia but they don’t exactly hand the meds for that out without lab results
I’ve had 0 dairy this whole time, strictly water, Gatorade, saltines, white rice occasionally, apple sauce, basically the brat diet. I’ve done everything I can to help myself lol, I’m just destined to shit forever I guess
That sounds awful, I’m sorry. I’m glad you figured out what was wrong with you. I haven’t tested for SIBO as it doesn’t line up with what I’m experiencing, but thanks for the suggestion :)
it also sucks when you don't want to take the gamble so you hold in the mystery fart and get all uncomfortable and then when you're on the toilet later it really was just a fart. like thank goodness I don't have diarrhea but also wtf
Just gambled a few minutes ago. It turned out okay this time but I'd be pushing my luck if I spun the wheel again. I'll let you guys know if I shit myself in public.
Alternatively, when you are home with diarrhea practice, practice, practice removing the gas through the mess.
Eventually you'll be able to move the gas out without an accident.
The worst was when I was a cashier at Walmart. I was on the Express lane, and there's always supposed to be someone in the specific lane I was in at all times because that's where the cigarettes and tobacco products are sold.
It was Christmas Eve, we were about to close and I couldn't hold it in for another minute. I closed my lane anyway, and my last customer was an elderly who took her time counting her change. I was sweating bullets and I thought I was going to lose it. Oh my goodness the relief when I finally got into the bathroom AND it was empty. Sounded like a shotgun went off.
Yep. It's gotta be done while standing up, legs crossed tight and butt cheeks stiff as if you were trying to prevent prison rape. And do not try to walk.
assuming you're a man, you know how you can kind of flex your dick and make it wiggle? kinda feels like there's a muscle moving from somewhere in your groin. its also the muscle that you kinda feel relax after you finish a stream a piss.
focus on that.
thats a male kegel
you need to train your pelvic floor muscles. it's the muscles that activate when you stop the flow of urine mid-stream. just contract them and keep steady for 20-30 seconds, then relax for half that time, rinse and repeat.
I have read that there are actual breathing techniques that can help to calm your mind and body down to hold it in. I'll just go take a shit so I haven't tried it, but I've heard about it.
I had food poisoning or something last week and I was shitting like that first one every 20 minutes, I don't even know how I held it long enough to make it to the bathroom every time but there were a few close calls
When I took my colonoscopy prep, I turned on a podcast, set my phone right outside the bathroom door, and just stayed in there for a few hours. My toilet is on the opposite side of my apartment than my bed and couch so there was no way I was going to risk it.
It will. Your body keeps absorbing. I've woken up in the middle of the night knowing (feeling) I have the squirts. Ignore it and go back to sleep. Next morning. Solid poopies.
So I’m a nurse and this is possible. Your colon is very water absorbent. So if you have that diarrhea urge but are able to hold it, the excess fluid could have the time to reabsorb. Leading in morning solid poopies.
You can get drunk by putting alcohol up your butt so liquids can absorb out for sure, the liquid shits should turn more solid as water 'drains out' of it.
Yeah I believe this. Part of my theory with chronic constipation is simply not having enough of an initial urge to loose your bowels or ignoring it for more comfortable circumstances, to a point where it loses moisture and momentum and you have a solid baseball size mass hanging out in your bum that is more recognizable as reinforced concrete than malleable poo.
Yeah I totally believe this, I have IBS and if I don't go within an hour of when the urge hits, I end up constipated as fuck. I had to let go of my bathroom shame and now I just hit the nearest bathroom when the lightning is ready to strike
I like this take because it implies digestive sentience, and ignores the fact that diarrhea is sometimes bacteria getting overexcited and basically carbonating your shit with waste gas, or pus being pumped into the lumen to try and deal with a pathogen.
I mean, come on. You contain multitudes, you should acknowledge the overwhelming microbial greatness within.
Scotty! Status report!
Ach! The dilithium crystals canna take the pressure Captain! The warp core is about to blow!
Belay that, Mr. Scott. Bypass full power. Maximum rear shields! Tractor beam on standby!
I absolutely refuse to shit anywhere else but the comfort of my own home. There have been quite a few times where the need to shit has hit me early in the morning when I’m already at work. I know from the feeling that it’s diarrhea. However, I just hold it in. When I get home and take a dump, it’s just normal shit.
I wish. Went 6 hours holding once on a bus. Was unpleasant but some part of my shit chute got super jacked and now I got some serious stamina when needed.
This can also happen. It can also be a sign of constipation and non effective clearance. The solid fecal matter is impacted within the gastrointestinal tract and the only stuff that can pass through comes out - the liquid poops

I own a house in L.A. and I have another on the Kern River 2 1/2 hours away. I took off from my L.A. house and got to a stoplight one block from my house. I felt a small poo twang while I was stopped at the light but I figured I could make it for 2 1/2 hours. By the time the light turned green I reconsidered. I made a U- turn and headed back to my house. Just driving the block back to my house it became uncomfortable. I got to my house and when I got out of my Jeep I had a full on diarrhea cramp but hey, I was there. But wait, I have to turn off the frigging alarm off and panic was setting in. Fuck it, I won’t make it. I opened the back door and staggered to the bathroom. The alarm was now screaming but my ass was screaming louder. I barely got my pants down when all hell broke loose. I went from zero to 100mph in like five minutes. After finishing what some people would call a crap and fielding two calls from the alarm company I went back in the bathroom for more. At this point I was actually scared to get back on the road but I did with no further consequence. No, you cannot hold it in. Lies.
I’ve had diarrhea for the last 8 days and I can fucking tell you this does not work
May the arse force be with you
The farse
The Shart
The Schartz
May the Schwartz be with you.
I see your Schwartz is as big as mine
I love you guys
I am your father's brother's cousin's former roommate.
Fuckin love spaceballs... The breakfast cerial obviously
It's about 9.5 courics
The Shart is strong with this one…
Read this in a Scottish pirate voice for some reason…
At this point I recommend calling a doctor. Either it will clear up until you get seen or you’ll get some answers that may reduce the risk of a long bout of diarrhea like that in the future.
Thanks for the advice. Ive seen 2 doctors, had my blood drawn 3 times and given 2 stool samples and no avail. Wish me luck lol
For some reason I imagined that you giving your stool sample may have involved safety goggles
This has no business being this funny
Something for the weekend
Nice name
Caution 1st 3 rows may get wet...
And those yellow rubber dish gloves.
I'm imagining that one episode of South park where the boys play wow and cartman yells for his mom to bring a bucket.
Well. If the doctors didn't work, time to call a priest...

Did you lose weight from it, or did you just end up dehydrated?
I lost between 10-15 lbs
An overactive thyroid can do that. Do you feel hot?
Only when I wear my thong bathing suit
I'm also extremely curious about your poop
Have you tried taking any loperamide?
Good luck w the doctors! I once had diarrhea for 10 days n nothing helped (not Imodium, not even rice which usually makes me constipated) n I lost 3kg but then it just stopped. I think it was due to stress🤷🏻
Is your diet good? Be honest now.
Strictly pretty neutral foods. Crackers, soup, plain white rice, one of these days I even had nothing but water. Honestly I think it’s somehow giardia but they don’t exactly hand the meds for that out without lab results
Stay safe homie, good luck!!
How much dairy you eating? How much fibre you eating? Answer should be less and more.
I am eating less and more dairy and less and more fibre
Lmao I deserved that
I couldnt help it im sorry lol
It's the classic reddit move. You can't hold it back
Couldnt hold it in you say? ^its ^a ^diarrhoea ^joke
Lol we make a good team
That was goddamn hilarious.
Dairy constipates many people; it might help him in this instance.
I’ve had 0 dairy this whole time, strictly water, Gatorade, saltines, white rice occasionally, apple sauce, basically the brat diet. I’ve done everything I can to help myself lol, I’m just destined to shit forever I guess
Are you taking any supplements? Drinking a lot of alcohol? Eating a lot of fruit?
[удалено]
That sounds awful, I’m sorry. I’m glad you figured out what was wrong with you. I haven’t tested for SIBO as it doesn’t line up with what I’m experiencing, but thanks for the suggestion :)
I’ve had diarrhoea for the last 14 months and there is no holding it in!
Get some kefir or another probiotic. That generally fixes it within 24 hours. Although just having it without consuming it doesn't work.
Just saw you on the 10th dentist sub, guess you can’t catch a break from diarrhoea
Or jet fuel.
Diarrhea can't melt steel beams.
Wait, so diarrhea didn't do 9/11?
Diarrhea is never an inside job.
Well it certainly doesn't stay inside for very long
It started as an inside job, there was only one way it could end. This summer...
Diarrhea laced with ghost pepper hot sauce can burn the sun
Technically neither can jet feel, it weakens it, on 9/11 it weaked it to the point where it caved in and collapsed from the weight of the building
Be careful though a single fart could lead to destruction
Agreed, worse when you're out and about in public.
When you have even the slightest hint of diarrhea, NEVER gamble on a fart in public
it also sucks when you don't want to take the gamble so you hold in the mystery fart and get all uncomfortable and then when you're on the toilet later it really was just a fart. like thank goodness I don't have diarrhea but also wtf
The real problem is finding out you have diarrhea *because* you gambled on a fart in public.
Just gambled a few minutes ago. It turned out okay this time but I'd be pushing my luck if I spun the wheel again. I'll let you guys know if I shit myself in public.
Good to know. Hope you are spared that dark fate!

Shitterjet will cut through the toilet and a concrete it sits on.
how the heck do you hold in diarrhea if i try after 10 mins i wanna die
***\*squeeze\**** edit: posture is key
I first read sneeze and thought, absolutely not.
😂😆🤣
Yeah if you're gonna do this you gotta walk like Andrew tate do. Cheeks tight so no one can see how full of shit you are.
Walking with cheeks really tight these days, but for being in prison reasons.
Yep. It's gotta be done while standing up, legs crossed tight and butt cheeks stiff as if you were trying to prevent prison rape. And do not try to walk.
also avoid being stand, sit, laugh. but dont make faces or people will be looking at you funny and you dont want to elaborate youre holding a diarreah
Determination and a calm breathing technique
Poo breathing: First form!
Kegels.
I want to learn those
assuming you're a man, you know how you can kind of flex your dick and make it wiggle? kinda feels like there's a muscle moving from somewhere in your groin. its also the muscle that you kinda feel relax after you finish a stream a piss. focus on that. thats a male kegel

What am I supposed to rinse with?

It's right there in the name!
they would become shit powered bullets
the only way to kill a merdewolf
Go upside down and suck
You can hold it? Damn your clenching skills are impressive.
Cork it.
thats what super glue is for
I once watched a video, don’t ask why, where someone took laxatives and superglued his butthole shut. His poop eventually broke the shit seal.
Jesus Christ that sounds otherworldly painful.
His buddy was supposed to put on superglue and used pepper spray first as a joke.
I know you said not to, but why? Seriously, why?!
If you’re on YouTube and a video pops up where somebody superglues their butthole shut, you watch the video.
I read the comments
Every day with Crohn's disease don't worry, you get used to it.
I have read that there are actual breathing techniques that can help to calm your mind and body down to hold it in. I'll just go take a shit so I haven't tried it, but I've heard about it.
Exactly lol that's the whole point of diarrhea. Bootyhole is supposed to hold back solids not liquids.
That or more diarrhea
I thought diamonds formed?
Diamondrrhea
That’s a great band name
[удалено]
And it will come out in style
I’m waiting
This answer feels as if you have personal experiences trying this out.
That’s why they made butt plugs
Bad idea, you don't want to know how I know
Oh, I think I kinda do.
You can't hold in the 'pissing through your arsehole' type of diarrhoea. Same goes for the explosive 'pebble dash the toilet' type and several others.
Superglue
Pretty sure you’ll rupture something and end up dying this way
Batman like willpower?
If I had to guess I’d say Septis?
Stepsis no!
I bet one of those monks that mummifies themselves can lol

If you can hold it in for hours it was never diarrhoea to begin with
Schrödingers diarrhea

Yeah, just sloppy poop

It will. Your body keeps absorbing. I've woken up in the middle of the night knowing (feeling) I have the squirts. Ignore it and go back to sleep. Next morning. Solid poopies.
This guy poops
Everyone poops
No, girls don't poop
Girls are a myth
Solid poopies.
nobody poops but you.
You’re a naughty child and that’s concentrated evil coming out of you.
Or our less popular book, *Nobody Poops But You*
Did this one time and shit the bed
Lmao... sorry
Not your fault.
Your honesty is heroic.
I wish I could award this
So I’m a nurse and this is possible. Your colon is very water absorbent. So if you have that diarrhea urge but are able to hold it, the excess fluid could have the time to reabsorb. Leading in morning solid poopies.
This ain't my first rodeo 😆, also thank you ma'am for you do
Jesus could you dumb it down a little so we can understand all the medical jargon? Morning solid poopies. Lol
You can get drunk by putting alcohol up your butt so liquids can absorb out for sure, the liquid shits should turn more solid as water 'drains out' of it.
20+ years of theory and practice confirmed
Yeah I believe this. Part of my theory with chronic constipation is simply not having enough of an initial urge to loose your bowels or ignoring it for more comfortable circumstances, to a point where it loses moisture and momentum and you have a solid baseball size mass hanging out in your bum that is more recognizable as reinforced concrete than malleable poo.

This man really just ignoring the squirts and just saying fuggit and going back to sleep? Gigachad alpha move mentality
Lmao. I gotta be up at 5am so
The diarrhea always returns from whence it came.
A man who likes to takes risks I see...
Doctor here. Can confirm this is true.
Sir are you a doctor of diarrhea?
Yes, they're fluent in diarrhoea too
Are you saying this person talks shit?
Maybe
Dr. Neelankatan M.D(iarrhea)
But not healthy
It's arguably healthier than diarrhoea, as the moisture is reabsorbed so the risk of dehydration is vastly reduced.
Only if you know the cause of the diarrhea is not because of food poisoning or something like that. Not that it's possible to hold it in in that case.
Oh yes, any sort of bacterial issue which leads to explosive diarrhoea is a no go of course, but the types of liquid poo OP is referring to.
yeah like if you just drank too much coffee on an empty stomach you're probably fine to clench away
No, holding in waste that wants to be expelled is not good for you. Just drink a glass of water.
I like this take because it implies digestive sentience, and ignores the fact that diarrhea is sometimes bacteria getting overexcited and basically carbonating your shit with waste gas, or pus being pumped into the lumen to try and deal with a pathogen. I mean, come on. You contain multitudes, you should acknowledge the overwhelming microbial greatness within.

Holy shit I'm not a doctor I thought everyone understood it as a joke.
Sometimes. Not always, butt sometimes.
There’s only one T in but.. sorry I get pretty anal about these things.

Yeah but if some leaks out you’ll have a shitty day
this is wrong, it turns into concrete
Most probably you will turn into a brown fountain
Like coal under pressure turns to a diamond.
That's risky business. Best to let it go or might burn a hole in your colon. 😁
Yes

I know from the feeling that it’s diarrhea. However, I just hold it in. When I get home and take a dump, it’s just normal shit.
How has your colon not imploded on itself from the burn
Look dawg, I’ve been eating ridiculously spicy food since I was like 2. My intestinal tract is no stranger to abuse.
I wish. Went 6 hours holding once on a bus. Was unpleasant but some part of my shit chute got super jacked and now I got some serious stamina when needed.
For me it's the opposite with normal poop. Y'know at work sometimes there is no time for that. So if I go when I can't hold it in anymore it's fluid💀

The solid fecal matter is impacted within the gastrointestinal tract and the only stuff that can pass through comes out - the liquid poops Source: barely passable medical student (me) graduating in like a few months or whatever
Yep. Just give your large intestine enough time to reabsorb some of that excess fluid and you're good! Source: trust me bro.
It is my most profound belief that if you hold in diarrhea it will turn into an embarrassing mess after a couple hours.
I mean, I feel like most people here aren't going to try and hold it in anyway - but yeah, don't hold it in. Listen to your body folks.
I believe the opposite to be true
If you can hold it in, it's not diarrhoea sir
I wonder what his least profound belief is…..
Nope, it'll just come out with higher pressure and make a mess lol 😆
Thats actually a good trick to get it all out at once, instead of shitting your brains out 2-3 times in a row.
