Montezuma's revenge

[Le Pirate]

If you do go to the doctor,


make sure to plan your route carefully, so you know all the public restrooms between home and the office. Just sayin'

neat.

call your doc up for some CIPRO. 

That should only be used in severe cases where the individual has a preexisting medical condition where the shits are causing issues.


a good doctor would not give antibiotics for traveler's diarrhea, just drink plenty of fluids and it will pass.

Dude, tagamet is for heartburn....

I know.... but I was told by a dr to try it..... and poof...it worked

[gojira]

Drink fluids. Has this been emphasized already? 
Bactrim / Immodium
If persistent, definitely a doctor's visit.

I had a meetup with / became an initiate of this Montezuma's fellow ... or so I thought. It turned out to be giardia. If you think you've got it bad now, that g stuff is not pretty.

+1 on giardia being the wrath of hell.....  Have the doctor test you for it if the runs don't clear up on their own.

If you have diarhea for more than a few days go to the doctor.  Most "normal" diarhea should clear up in 48 hours with common over-the-counter meds. If not, it is something that needs a physician.

Drink lotsa gatorade or pedialyte (I prefer gatorade - pedialyte tastes like crap) and eat the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast).  If it doesn't resolve in the next couple days, call your doc up for some CIPRO.  Sometimes you get a Gut bug you can't shake on without antibiotics.  Where's my nurse smiley?

+1...If it is actually Montezuma's revenge go to the doc and get a shot...they have one that will have you feeling fine in less than 12 hours.
If it is a bug...well...mine hung around for about 14 months...*Graphic description* Looked like green leafy film in the toilet...pretty gross!

what is your definition of "normal" diarrhea? 

should we take diarrhea advice from a guy with an enema bag as an avatar?

Maybe he's a man of experience?

yeah, no pun intended i am sure.

I am tell you, PAREGORIC.  That is your solution.

it is the only "fix" for the Moctezuma's revenge.  plus, you'll feel damn nice after you take it.
