Author alphamale Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Think I'll stick to gingerale and dry toast. Even that is too much to handle right now... if you're having loose stools try to mimimize the liquids for a day or two. Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny Dancer Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Think I'll stick to gingerale and dry toast. Even that is too much to handle right now... Sorry you're feeling bad. In my household (if we don't have Imodium AD available) we resort to an old home remedy of "rice water". You make it by boiling white rice with more water than you would normally use to actually cook the rice. You boil it (and even add water as necessary) until the water is murkey. Then strain out the rice and reserve the liquid. Then you drink or sip the liquid like you would a broth. (The rice is discarded.) The liquid is very BLAND, which sounds like what you need right now; it works like a charm. I don't really understand WHY it works, but I have used it several times with excellent success. I hope you feel better soon. Link to post Share on other sites
933KJL Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 but what makes me have to go poop more than anything is ice cream Me too. I am good onthe Breyers, but the ice cream parlor stuff runs right through me. I am thinking I may be a bit lactose intolerant and the grocery store stuff has a lot of preservatives. We drink 1% milk here and that is fine. I am a wadder as well--just cannot imagine folding and re-using. And I go once a day and maybe twice. Usually in the afternoon when get back from work and have the evening paper--that also brings on the urge but not as urgently---somewhat Pavlovian I think--see paper, go crap! The only time I will not crap in my own (and when I am in a hotel, I consider that my own) throne is when I have the runs and they came up on me VERY fast. When I visit relatives, I tend to prefer to get a hotel, but if needed I can go there, but then it is usually late at night after we have all said our goodnights. And don't even get me started on peeing in public rest rooms! Link to post Share on other sites

RecordProducer Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 What a nice intellectual thread! I probably go 2-3 times a day - first time after my morning Nescafe and cigarette. I, unlike Tanbark, who poops like a pigeon when he changes the environment, can't go to the bathroom for like three days when I travel. I read some junk magazine sometimes on the potty - just to inspire me! Link to post Share on other sites
Author alphamale Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 What a nice intellectual thread! look who started it can't go to the bathroom for like three days when I travel. me too RP! why is that? is it psychological? a new environment? Link to post Share on other sites
johan Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 There are several people here who may not be getting enough fiber. Typical for Americans. If you've never gotten enough, you are in for a real treat, let me tell you. It will put a bounce in your step and a twinkle in your eye. Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny Dancer Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 hmmm, I would guess you are either chinese or japanese TINY DANCER LOL! No, just southern white female, but I understand why you'd guess that. It was actually the remedy that my pediatrician gave my mom when I developed a milk allergy at 6 mo. I couldn't drink any type of milk or any of the available substitutes. I was actually raised on rice water instead of milk until I could drink it again at about age 3! ....strange but true!

RecordProducer Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 look who started it Well you started it, dude! I guess since your dad is/was a gastroenterologist, it was normal for you guys to talk about his work during dinner! :p Just kidding, just kidding... Nothing like a meaningful conversation about good ole pooping! me too RP! why is that? is it psychological? a new environment? Definitely pshychological. But it's so stupid sometimes, because I am not even excited about some short trip and then my ass is clogged as if it's a huge change or something. Link to post Share on other sites

Author alphamale Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Screw you Alpha...now I am yawning and crapping at the same time so if a bunch of people live in the same house do their bowels all start to get in sync? like women living under the same roof eventually start to get their periods at the same time.

Whenever she would hear (or smell ) us fart she would tell us to go to the bathroom and "take a dump". But I don't know....sometimes I just fart and don't feel like taking a sheeyot, other times I do. I know, its weird Link to post Share on other sites

933KJL Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Sometimes a good fart can be equally as gratifying as a good dump!

There is only so much shi* trivia out there.. Alpha needs to come out with a boardgame not unlike monopoly or chutes and latters.. It could be called Shi*s and Ladders or shi*poly ...

I mean we take our magazines, books, etc in there and settle in for the long haul. Women are in and out! Speaking of farts....I hate the false alarms were you got your magazine, air fresherner, plunger all ready to go...you sit down and nothing but a fart comes out! What a let down!!
