I've had diarrhea now since Monday! One moment I will be feeling fine 
and then all of a sudden my gut takes a nose dive and I have to rush, 
rush, rush to the toilet. One time I didn't make it in time!! Yuck!! 
Also, today my stomach has been gurgling pretty much constantly.

WTF is wrong?! I am calling my doctor tomorrow.

Mike

Stop feeding the bug!  Seriously, I was told to stop eating for 24 hours, 
then gradually start again.  Seemed to work.

I hope you did not inhale any orange-coloured dust, lately? ;-)

Definitely call the doctor. There are any number of perfectly benign causes 
for that problem (stress, change in diet, odd flora in the drinking water, 
medications), but there's enough serious problems for which that is a 
symptom that you should have it checked just to be safe.

Two of the medications I'm on have side effects similar to what you're 
experiencing, and when it flares up, Imodium helps quite a bit. I highly 
recommend it, in the meantime.

Good idea!

I've seen people be perfectly fine, talking and walking, and be down flat 
and starting to slowly die of dehydration after an hour or two of this. It 
can seriously mess you up - get onto a MD right away.

Sure you didn't get some bad water? Where I live this is a common problem 
(along with nastier stuff like cholera) especially where the water isn't 
clean and has got a high bacterial content.

You know, man, a few months ago I had a similar problem going on for a 
week straight.  In the next week I was still not completely 
restabilished, but much better (less urge and less, ugh, liquid).  I 
never had anything like that, ever.  I lost about 4 Kgs in that week 
alone (I didn't have much hunger either).

I didn't took any medication besides some flora restauring pill, lots of 
coconut water and a very light diet consisting mostly of rice, chicken 
and potatoes, plus bread toasts and butter.

I suspect some bad meat in the weekend triggered it...

And turn off the overshare light while you're waiting. ;-)

That would be rather uncommon over here. Most common cause in Europe is 
probably "food poisoning" (i.e. food gone bad) or a flu. Nothing severe 
enough to have you die of dehydration within hours, maybe except for 
people in bad health condition anyway. So here appropriate action is 
more like, "get the shit out", drink a lot, and if it's not starting to 
get somewhat better next day, start worrying a bit and see the doctor. 
Maybe send someone to the pharmacy right away to get you some medical 
coal, because that'll be the most common medication anyway and can't do 
harm.

OK, I'm feeling better today. Any longer and I would have been forced to 
post pics!!
