To not at all mind having diarrhoea!

I’ve changed my name as this is a little... odd.

Am I alone in actually quite enjoying it when I suffer diarrhoea? As long as obviously not explosive and out & about.

But it’s not a fraction as awful as vomiting. And then lovely feeling of emptiness and flat tummy and a real clear out of the pipes.

Am I alone??

I’m lactose intolerant and as long as I’m at home I don’t mind the clear out I get from inadvertently eating lactose. There’s only a couple of minutes of mild belly ache and then whoosh it’s all out. But I’ve had some very terrible car journeys where I was worried I wasn’t going to get home in time

Now this, this is mnet royalty.

Omg no! Diarrhoea is just awful.

I had my first run in with diarrhoea when I was 48.

prior to that, I thought it was just a few runny poos. No-one had told me about the excruciating cramps, the total inability to control it (it was as though my arse was sneezing), the all-consuming weakness (I had to helped to the bog, I could barely stand) and the anxiety that comes from being afraid to fart for weeks afterwards. I also had a high fever, over 41c, for quite a bit of the time. (Caveat: my diarrhoea was caused by campylobacter jejuni food poisoning, so may have been atypically severe).

About 2-2.5 years later I contracted norovirus, while staying at a friend's for the weekend. That was awful. While I was nowhere near as ill as I had been the first time, it was still awful, especially so as I was having to use someone else's bathroom. I will never forget sitting on the lav for what felt like hours, while throwing up into a bucket. I was too ill to drive home, and had to stay on an extra couple of days until I'd recovered enough to drive back from the midlands.

I'd far rather puke than have diarrhoea. As a migraine sufferer, I'm a dab hand at puking, having had loads of practice! And at least you can take a bowl or bucket to bed to be sick in, you can't shit in a bucket from a prone position!

LakieLady · 03/10/2019 19:35

Meant to say: I've never had diarrhoea since, thank god, and I'm 64 now. And I hope I never have it again.

I suppose twice in 64 years isn't too bad.

Jiggeriepokerie · 03/10/2019 19:41

Colonoscopy prep is bloody hideous but my god you feel light and clean! I hardly ate a thing for a couple of days afterwards because I didn't want to muck my lovely sparkly insides up!

E.coli is a different kettle of fish. Shitting what feels like pints of blood for 5 days is not something I'd recommend.

Mummyoflittledragon · 03/10/2019 19:44

Just drink a nice glass of salty water daily. Guaranteed to give you a cheap thrill. Hmm

hazeyjane · 03/10/2019 19:45

Lordy. I like this new blatant style of poo trollery....very refreshing.

dontgobaconmyheart · 03/10/2019 19:47

Bit gliv OP, some people suffer very horribly with chronic diarrhoea. A few years ago I had a bowel condition go undiagnosed for nearly a year, during which time I dropped in weight down to nearly 6 stone, lost my mobility and spent virtually the entire day and night with stomach and bowel pain so severe that I contemplated suicide on a number of occasions, not to mention the fact I couldn't go out due to the incontinence anyway. It was beyond traumatic and painful.

It's nice to feel light yes but that can be achieved by not overeating in the first place, using prebiotics and looking after your gut health by managing diet.

ClaraMumsnet · 03/10/2019 20:34

Just pooping into the thread to say that this is not the poo troll (amazingly) and the OP is a long term poster who has sharted a thread about diarrhoea. Thanks for shat, OP. Flowers

Schuyler · 03/10/2019 20:36

Even if an OP isn’t a poo troll, why post so graphically when we do have a grim poo troll? They’ll be getting off on this.

BrutusMcDogface · 03/10/2019 20:39

What the actual fucking FUCK am I reading??!!

Bluntness100 · 04/10/2019 06:41

Blimey, struggling to believe this is real. 😱

AlliKaneErikson · 04/10/2019 07:52

Hmm- am assuming you don’t have IBS or ulcerative colitis etc...very much not enjoyable.

NoSauce · 04/10/2019 07:55

Blimey, struggling to believe this is real

Long term poster according to MNHQ.
Weird thing to post about though however long you’ve been here.

Fair enough!... I was thinking about Nutella on toast for breakfast, think I'll give that one a miss!!

Littlechocola · 04/10/2019 08:07

@ClaraMumsnet Grin

You can have mine op. I get it quite often and want rid.

hazeyjane · 04/10/2019 08:29

Alrighty then!

Without going into (frankly fairly horrific) details, the 2 worst times I've had diarrhoea

  1. at a free festival in the late 80s.
  2. on a quarantine ward with hospital borne d&v

No one, but no one, would want to have been there...believe me.

unamullian · 04/10/2019 08:31

I enjoy it when I am very constipated but I hate the fact it burns my arsehole afterwards Blush

hazeyjane · 04/10/2019 13:13

Op should really have put (shitehearted) at the end of the thread title.

PooWillyBumBum · 04/10/2019 13:16

YANBU

runs and hides

Phoebesfleas · 04/10/2019 14:51

YANBU!! At the beginning of the summer I radically changed my horrific diet and it feels so good to have a decent BM every day instead of being bunged up. I feel light, my belly is flat and I have more energy.
Not sure about diarrhoea though if it includes the cramps and sweats, that ain’t pleasant.
