The other day ( Saturday), I had a few stomach cramps, which I thought was lack of food, had something to eat which eased it, only to get home and, well, lets just say I’ve used the bathroom over a doz en times in not as many hours.

Not fun.

I hope everyone else is well and good night all those that are going to bed, sleep well.

Always good to call out with stomach issues, not just for yourself but for other people. Last year I had... the worst in my life... a bug and was convinced it was this scary meal I had the night before. 7 horrible days later, it was indeed the flu so I’m at least glad I didn’t contaminate everyone I knew to make a buck.

I’ve only had half a sick day in the last 18 years. I don’t do getting unwell, it drives me crazy.

It’s like being a prisoner in your own body.

Seriously though, hope you feel better. I’m feeling mildly ill, passed out at like 7:30, and now I’m up in the middle of the night feeling dehydrated and a bit off.

Lol. Thanks mate.

With living with one housebound parent and one high risk to infection parent who needs a wheel chair to get around. I’ve become adept a t infection control with h and sanitisers, surgical grade scrubs, disinfectant sprays on all medium to high contact areas.

I’ve a background in emergency health care, it just sucks when it’s you.

The YouTube videos are sometimes interesting while others seem interesting at first, but after a minute or so, your not far off falling asleep.

When the toilet looks like a chocolate bunny blew its brains out...

Last week myself and 2 co-workers had burrito bowls from a local taco truck we frequently patronize. All three of us spent the following day in the bathroom. Luckily we didn’t all call in sick because there’s only 4 of us on night shift.

Feel better!

Ye’, that’s why I’m sticking to water.

I don’t want to give my guts any ideas.

I’ve always had the notion to fight fire with fire i f you will. Attack it with a super spicy curry!

It’d end in flames, but I’d die happy.

Cheers mate, it’s never good.

My stomach churned at the reading, ‘burrito bowls’ and made worse at reading, ‘local taco truck’.

A few years back I had it so bad that after day three I honestly was scared of food. I wanted to eat but all of my body said, ‘don’t you ruddy dare, don’t you remember the last few days!?’.

I’m quite like that, if I’ve a headache, I’ll have a few beers, if I’m going to have a headache, I may as well enjoy it.

If I’ve a cough, I’ll smoke more cigars for the same reason.

With my guts though, I play it safe.

Taco trucks are a way of life in the Portland, Oregon area and we’ve never had an issue with this one before, but we’ ve decided to go brick-and-mortar for a while.

I coined the term “burrito bowels” that day.

In the U.K. I wouldn’t be so wary of eating ‘food truck’ food, but I was elsewhere I the world I wouldn’t unless it was a type of food truck that’s food was very low chance of contamination or spoiling. 

In the U.K., we call it ‘Delhi belly’, but you can get it from drinking Spanish tap water just as much as you can from eating cart food on the streets of India.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > Tristan 01/14/2019 at 07:40

There is a small Mexican chain in SoCal that I would frequent with a friend, but for some reason, despite the food being quite tasty, it had a Drano-like effect that occurred about an hour after consumption. Because of issues in the past we  made no plans for the period after dinner other than to head back to my place to wait for the inevitable. Given that I only had one bathroom there would need to be a brief debate as to who needed it first, always civil, after which the evening could resume as planned.
