Hmm, I phrased that clumsily. At EIM's age there's a much higher chance that it is simply food poisoning. But he is also edging towards the point where he should perhaps consider making an appointment with the frogman with a camera anyway. I was trying to make the point that the two experiences are essentially identical. I mean if it is something else, it will manifest itself in other ways, like a general loss of energy, or initially flatttering weightloss, or a change in the consistency or the smell of blood in your doings. (which is difficult to describe, but you'll know that something has changed) So I suppose the important thing is to pay attention for a bit, and if a previously bulletproof stomach starts to give you niggles, then off to the GP to book an appointment.

I remember a few years ago, a colleague's husband got Crohns. In his case there was nothing subtle, he started shiting blood. Coincidentally at the time there was a big campaign about bowel cancer...He went to the gp sharpish...

It took me four years, of 10 to 15 runny shits a day, to realise I was gluten-intolerant (at the age of 46 at the start, or 50 at the end). I'd check that out if I were you, EIM. It's probably not that, but there's no harm in asking.

Fucking hell man. They should raise a statue to you. That may be the most counter-productively "male" thing, since the first world war. You're up there with my dad who went 35 years without going to a GP, until he had blood pressure so high that the doctor shaved 80 off both figures to get him admitted to the hospital.

I wasn't sure whether the number of runny shits was normal or not, so I never asked. It was only when I started shitting myself in public that I decided to ask somebody in a white coat and with letters before their name whether it was all right or not.
Not that they gave me an adequate response. Doctors? I shit 'em.

Being Irish, I share the same bum genes as TAB and JFK. Celiac disease, colitis, farty bowels, the lot of it seems to run in the family. So I certainly keep an eye on things. Even the undiagnosed in my family, such as myself, tend to spend longer in the loo than the average person. It's a spectrum, really.

that seems to suggest that you're grand, If you have colitis or crohns, you're finished your business in seconds. You have to go again 10 minutes later mind you.
