Got the Sh**s again!
Discussion
.....for the 2nd time in a month, not your usual bit of discomfort and a wet fart either!
Seriously, im dying here. Ive been layed up since friday, today i felt a little better so ventured out with the wife, had a bit of grub and 'hey presto' back to square one.
When do you get to the point with this 'illness' where enough is enough and you cart yourself off to the docs?
Has anybody else had it like this and so often? ive slept probably two full days in the last four and had one million bowel movements.

Hozelock?
You need to not eat for 24 hours. Perhaps just drink boiled water (you can let it cool a bit first if you're not man enough to drink steaming water). I might be wrong, as this is usually advise for dodgy tummy so should apply here? There's some helpful acronym to apply. I'm sure it's not RICE as that's Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate.
Ah, BRAT? Bananas, Rice, Apples, Toast. (Had to google it.)
BTW that's what you can eat if you have to eat rather than what you jam up your rectum (rice to soak the liquid, toast as back up, apples to secure the lot in there and a banana to push it deep inside).

not sure but the OP should be drinking plenty of water with some salts to keep ion/electrolyte concentrations up.You need to not eat for 24 hours.

Doc eventually referred me to a specialist (within about 2 seconds of seeing him when he reliased I had private health cover.
Went to see the gastro ent consultant, blood tests, colonoscopy, exclusion dieting and it's probably that I've a lactose intolerance and possible milk protien allergy. No really dodgey moments or close calls for months.
It's most likely a bug though that you're not letting go fully before feeding it again. Go see your GP.

ts up the Amazon...eyesight and speech almost went...some gentamycin i.m. in bum did the trick. 
Definitely get yourself to the doctor after day 5. Could be infection, ulcer, IBS, IBD, or maybe just you ate something a bit dodgy. Whichever way, there's no point letting something like that impact on your quality of life. I was a bit stupid and thought "it'll pass" and regret not going to see the Doc earlier.
Otherwise, try co-codamol (particularly if you are getting pains as well). 'Backs you up' and makes things a bit more manageable. Be warned - may make you a bit woozy!
