Unexplained Bathroom Attack (TMI)

Tonight I had a pretty bad diarrhea attack. Cramping, painful, smelly, the works. I forgot to warn my boyfriend before he tried using the bathroom 30 minutes later and he has been having a grand ol' time cracking jokes at my expense all night (LOL).

I haven't had diarrhea since I was a week post op (I'm about three months out now) and I hadn't eaten anything new today. I keep away from carbs/sugar so I'm not sure why it happened. 

Has this happened to anyone? I guess I could handle it if I'm eating carbs and know what's coming, but I can't figure out what brought this on. 

Been there done that and never figured out what I did wrong...maybe nothing.  It has happened very rarely so I hope that holds true for you as well.

How about veggies like onions or peppers?  It sounds like the effects I got from Chili before I started scaling back the onions and peppers.

You should really keep a food log! n

I have had it happen before from sauces and from spices. I ate good protein but had too much BBQ sauce with it. I also had a really spicy meat from a Chinese place that set me off. 

Preop and postop, lo mein noodles.  Love them but I can't eat them unless I am going directly home.  Why?  Who knows!  It just happens once in a while.  Lo mein is a sure thing for me!

Today, I'm right there with you only I know what did it!  Went to Costco and found shelled pistachio nuts cheaper than the ones with the shells.  Good protein so I bought a bag.  I ate about 20 nuts.  OMG, 24 hours of green poop!  Started thinking about it and I hadn't had pistachios in years because they are so expensive.

So now I have this whole bag of pistachios in the fridge(keeps them away from my dogs who love them).  Yes, I will still eat them but I will be expecting the after effects!  After I eat them a few times, my system will most likely get used to them and it won't happen anymore.

It's happened to me.  I didn't eat anything bad. 

 But if I have something new, my system might react harshly to it.  A new spice, or go out to a different restaurant, or a bite or two of a veggie or fruit will set it off.  Water from a friend’s place has given me the runs also.

I’ve also had it hit due to stress, which is odd. 

I can tell now if something is strange.  I get a strange feeling, and my digestive track feels different.  Not bad or anything, just a little different.  Then I know to hang near a toilet for the evening.  I’ve been caught in public with this before, and that just sucks.

Hope it was a one off and goes away.

I love it that he's enjoying crack'n jokes about it..lol, i hope im so lucky when i get into a relationship! I don't want the smell to run anyone off..lol!

Did you miss any vites? If I miss a day of vitamins, it makes a world of difference, and not in a good way.

Ooh. I had to skip my vites for a day before the lab tests I took on Friday. Could be!! Thanks!
