By shitty day - 30/11/2011 10:53 - United States

Today, I have the stomach flu. If my belly growls, I have 30 seconds or less to get to the bathroom. I can't go to the doctor for fear of shitting my pants on the trip there. FML

I'm sure certain fruits will help. Let me check in my collection.. Hmmm not that.. This could do. Here, try a few bananas.

Atleast you have a 30 second window. When your ass explodes without warning, that's a shitty situation. Expecially in public. Waiting in line at the pharmacy. At walmart. Not that has ever happened to me or anything....

Some services do a phone medical help thing for minor issues and concerns (sniffles, the trots, sprained ankle) so you could call them and get help. I'd recommend keeping your fluids up. Dehydration will only make an already shitty situation even worse.

The Odds are your dr won't be able to actually *do* much for you in this case, and you actually could try calling your dr and explaining the situation and seeing what they say. Also, eventually, if you don't continue to eat...you'll stop going....They may reccomend someone brings you some immodum or something but the odds are you're just gonna have to take fluids and ride it out, Sorry OP :(.

He's right... No meds will help because they'll exit as fast as they go in ... You just have to continue drinking fluids! Good luck!

Yea, I just had the same thing about a day or two ago. I didn't go to a doctor, but I know how to take care of myself, lol. Try to stick to fluids (nothing red) and crackers for about 24 hours. After that try to gradually move your way onto solid foods. You don't want to take anything to stop it, it's best to let it go on out naturally instead of just sitting in your stomach. It sucks, but I hope you feel better!

Who goes to the doctor for the flu? That's a waste of time and money.

You're right. It's not just a waste of time and money, it's also the most effective way to spread the infection to other patients. During the Mexican pig flu panic, people in my country were explicitly warned not to visit a doctor but to call for advice if they suspected the had the flu.

If they are dehydrated from having diarrhea for more then a week and no amount of water is helping then seeing a doctor is highly recommended. They do save people's life's and a spread of a highly dangerous/contagious disease is not likely to happen if they take the right precautions and aren't filled to the rim with people.

Tape a bucket to your ass, then put on a spandex suit so it stays in place. You will always have a comfortable place to sit, and shit.

Pepto Bismol or Immodium. And drink lots and lots of fluids.

I'd recommend simply waiting it out. What's a doctor supposed to do for you anyway? Just give it some time.

Why waste everybody's time and shit in your car? Take up residence on your toilet and let the shit fly. If this continues for more than 2-3 days, then go seek medical treatment. By then, your colon should be pretty empty so you could probably make it with ease.

There's not much a doctor could do for you anyways. Stomach flus just need to run its corse. Drink plenty of fluids to flush the bug out of your system and get lots and lots of rest. Feel better soon. (:
