Cured my week long trots anyhow.
It's fairly likely that the trotts cured themselves as they tend to do after that long. It's just that eating your weird rice concoction just coincided with the end.
Correlation doesn't equal causation.
does taking imodium slow down your getting better?

Bisto gravy powder. Take 2 tablespoons then jump up and down for 3 minutes. you will then be able to slice (crimp) rather than pour (squirt).
By the power of the tin-ter-web
and brought to you by the NHS
“Imodium is used to treat symptoms of diarrhoea. It slows down muscle movements in the gut which leads to more water being absorbed from stools. The stools become firmer and are passed less frequently.”
So taking Imodium it would appear speeds up you getting better, by slowing down your bodies desire to flush out someone else’s poo (please see earlier post about how managed to get someone else’s poo in your body in the first place) firming up your own and someone else’s poo allowing you to absorb more of the water.
As for your proposition
drinking water is drinking someone else's wee?
I can see your point, a bit, but water from taps in the UK is treated with chemicals, etc before it arrives at a tap near you; as opposed to fresh faecal mater on a toilet door handle (or other surface) near you!
So to recap:
It appears that taking Imodium doesn’t slow down your getting better? It just keeps someone else’s s#!t£ in you longer.
The 24hr starve / not eating during is old advice, current guidelines are to eat small meals whenever you feel up to it avoiding, fatty or spicy stuff. Eat rice, bread and plain stuff etc whilst drinking plenty of fluids.

Tinnitus isn’t funny, trust me!
I heard apples were good for digestive issues, something to co with the fibre and pectin?
But with proper cataclysmic trots, time is the healer. Certainly not noticed Immodium et al making it last any longer which is the implication from the above, more it shuts things down long enough that you might get some sleep and ride out the worst of it.
Tinned rice pudding, and bananas stop the camps quitwe well, but turn your deposits white,
Hair of t'dog that bit ya. Since someone else's poo made you sick, it will also make you better.

I'm starting to think that it really makes no difference. Whatever goes in, it's back out within the hour.
Might as well make the most of it and eat all the unhealthy crap that I normally try to steer clear of.
Avoid wholegrain/wholewheat and anything with any flavour. Try something like ready made melba toast if you can't face cooking plain rice yet.
My trick for god knows how many years has been Coco Pops!
Don't know why but it works for me.
Kona, you're a happy chappy aren't you. All the people I know who are OCD about bacteria and germs etc are the ones who get ill the most often. Are you helping yourself by being so clean? (I do wash my hands after a poo though)
I’m in the grip of something horrendous – not sure whether it’s food poisoning (dodgy pate) or virus based (my mum was wiped out for 48 hours, but with different symptoms).
My wife spoke to the Pharmacist who recommended ‘flat’ Lucozade or Ribena over just water. That way the gut can absorb some sugar.
Yesterday I progressed from a slice of toast to a small bowl of rice and two apples.
Deluded, day 4 for me. Nearly blew me off the toilet last night.
I've had 2 pieces of toast in that time. I'm not vomiting anymore though.
Surely it's got to let up soon.
Immodium
Diarolyte
Water
Strachey foods like bread or pasta, avoid anything fatty/spicy

It's what I advise patients daily
“Imodium is used to treat symptoms of diarrhoea. It slows down muscle movements in the gut which leads to more water being absorbed from stools. The stools become firmer and are passed less frequently.”
Ah but thats where you need to be careful though. Nastyness inside then you need to get it out. This is referring to irritable bowl, when you have had the squits for a while your body actually kind of cant stop, so then tablets may help.
Strangely the latest research (that is actually being implemented in hospitals) is to give people with Norovirus poo from people that are healthy. Im not sure if this is in tablet form, smoothy etc etc, but apparently it DOES work 😯

This is a fascinating lunchtime read!
Joshvagas, I wish I was a solid as the stuff on the left hand side of the bowl. Stuff to the right feels like an unobtainable fantasy. 😥
I was told by my doctor to avoid dairy (apart form natural yoghurt which contains 'good' bacteria to counteract the bad stuff in your guts). Germans swear by salt sticks; they are dry and contain salt to replenish lost salts. Personally I prefer to avoid any food for a few days and just sip liquids (water of camomile tea)
Can I eat plain digestives? I really need some salt and sugar in me.
I was craving digestives yesterday. Wife came back with some salt crackers and some sort of ginger biscuit claiming that ginger was good for an upset stomach.
Just something I can hold onto for full hour would be good though.
Same as the home alone thread.

I have watched 39 episodes of Sons of Anarchy, 45 minute episodes and I have to stop at least 3 times per show.
It's unbelievable.
Do I have to eat the above in any particular order?
I've been chilling in the loo most of today and I'd like to go to sleep, but I daren't. Posting for solidarity 🙂 !
