The diarrhea, oh the diarrhea !!

[Tornado2]

Thought I would put some humor in our day. I'm doing well but cannot get a handle on my stomach. It's like my stomach woke up after 4 years. Oye

It can last and linger on and off fOr quite some time.
The  brat diet will help.
Bananas, rice, apples and toast.
It will prove. Make sure you stay hydrated and are eating
For nourishment and energy.
Congrats on your clean time.
Keep moving forward.

I wanted the poison out too! I only took 2 immodium in separate doses though because that sick stomach pain was killing me! It just makes you feel so awful! After that it was bananas, rice, applesauce and tea.

I am LOLing too. I swear, next to the great advice, the humor on here is a Godsend. I love the "oye" at the end.

In my opinion immodium is your friend. Not going crazy w/ it. Just enough so you don't have a sip of water and then run to the bathroom!

hahahaha!  Totally it IS your tummy waking up after 4 years.  I know a lot of people use Immodium during detox but I myself didn't have to function and I wanted the poison out of my system ASAP so I did not.  It only lasted a few days (which is amazing considering I have Crohn's disease)
Instead I ate a lot of bananas.  They are binding and have the potassium that your body so desperately needs right now.
Hydrate hydrate hydrate.
Can't stress this enough.  Get as much fluids and electrolytes into you as possible.  Pedialyte is great.  I've used it many times not just during detox but during Crohn's flares when I'm going upwards of 40 times a day.
Dehydration makes detox a MILLION times worse so don't let it happen, k?
We're all here rootin' for you girl.

LOL!!!  Not laughing at you laughing with you (b/c you need to laugh!)...I had diarrhea for 3 weeks!  It was unreal and everything on me got raw!  I decided, in the beginning, NOT to stop it b/c what was coming out was a black, tar substance (sorry to be so graphic) but it was the suboxone detaching from my neurotransmitters and I wanted it OUT!  About week 2 is when I started the Immodium and it did help.  At least let me rest for a couple of hours inbetween bathroom trips!  Hang in there, you'll make it through this just make sure your putting in as much as is coming out....stay hydrated!

Hi Tornado.  Sorry to hear about your tummy troubles.  Have you tried taking some Immodium? That will help. Only take for a day or so, you don't want to start the opposite problem.  Take care!
