Some thoughts on this subject:
Some people may consider irritable bowel or other such lower G.I problems to be a burden, however, I have the unique ability to see the positive in all situations. Even when I am sweating and keeping a steady walk/run pace as I race to the closest bathroom, I still feel an underlying pang of glee as my last meal (OMG soup from the Vietnamese place nearby) is quickly cycling through my system like a tornado peels through Oklahoma state. It adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the daily grind. Sort of like gambling, but the worst you could be down would be a good pair of knickers:) I revel at the element of surprise and take advantage of those next few hours, as I lie helplessly on my heated bathroom floor, to truly reflect on the silver lining of diarrhea. Knowing full well that it was a risk to wear leggings and white long shirt to my last meal. And that it would be a total waste of a good skirt to wear my new cute white tennis skirt to my tennis lesson that evening. The biggest upside being that I will lose my appetite for likely the next 24 hours and limit my intake to air and water and that I will awaken the next day feeling cleansed and maybe even 5 lbs lighter. This my friends, is the silver lining of diarrhea. Eat your heart out spicy Vietnamese soup, truffle oil, half and half cream - you are no threat to me:)
