A one time occurrence.

No ongoing problems.

A cork is cheaper.

If and when, that should fail? What next????

That would in fact be a 'Fresh Wind'.

From the article:

>> 10 deaths over the last 39 years <<

Sumpin’ drastically wrong here. Call in the CDC. They gotta find a way to make that death statistic seem higher!

A few weeks ago, I had a case of diarrhea (something I very seldom get).

ONE dose of good-ol’ Pepto-Bismol, and the problem was gone!!!!

Even when I took a trip to Brazil a long time ago, I was advised to use Pepto-Bismol, not Imodium. It was good advice, even though I needed several doses.

The only issue this time was that my seldom-used supply of Pepto-Bismol was outdated. But the outdated med still worked, and I bought a brand-new box at the pharmacy the next weekend!

They sell an even more potent version of these charcoal pills in Japan. And, yeah, it is sold over the counter.

“But abusers sometimes try to achieve heroin-like highs by taking massive doses”

And it kills them...thereby fixing the problem.

Anyone so foolish, as to gulp down antidiarrheal for a possible(?) buzz;not destined for a long life.

That said, roger Clinton is still around?

Just as well. I’ve been recklessly using Pepto for too long.

They never had a reaction to a flu shot, or Gastroparesis, or taken diabetes meds. Last flu shot 6 weeks on the ‘Throne’ and puking in the waste can at the same time, ended up in the ER for dehydration. Last flu shot I’ll ever get.

As for the GP...Gastroparesis you go from Diarrhea to constipation in a heart beat. And a Flare can last 2 months or more. And the Imodium doesn’t work!

I use the coal tar version of creosote on a psoriasis patch on my knee. Pretty effective. Cutting down on bread and sugar seemed to help it better.

If you are taking certain meds, yes you can have the issue suddenly, along with GI issues like Gastroparesis, because you never know when it will flare. Last one drove my BP to heart attack level and sent me to the ER. 2 months to get it under control. The other half of GP is Constipation. So you lose no matter what, it’s a delicate balancing act.

All Diabetes meds have TONS of GI issues. That flu shot you got could also be the cause.
