hi all, hope everybody's been good. I've had terrible diarrhoes for almost 5 days but it gradually gets better. this happened after I had a couple of beers. My stools are starting to harden bit by bit but I still get stomach cramps every now and then. It usually lasts for few seconds and it goes away. I try to refrain myself from pooping everytime there's cramp. Few days back it was uncontrollable, I woke up with dry mouth and pooped watery stools. Pooped too much that my weight also went down. This is my first time having diarrhoea and cramps for than 2 days and it's worrying. I eat my meals regularly. Will I get better and are there any tips for me to get better? Usually my diarrhoea lasts 2 days max and my stools and tummy are back to normal.

    hi Danny, i would be concerned like you are about this going on too long. it could have been caused by beer, it could have been a bug, who knows? whatever happened i would urgently see a doctor because having this so severely will cause nutrition problems because as well as losing whatever caused this in the first place, may have caused problems with getting the right nutrients. is there any like imodium to strengthen your bowel until you get to your doctor's? i would ask tomorrow to see someone and i wouldn't take no for an answer.
