Title: How is shitting WATER for ten days NORMAL?!? Post by: Reddawn on July 23, 2009, 02:34:38 PM Since I found out I have DIE-A-BEET-US I have been taking this shit called Metformin. After 3 days I started shitting out pure water and at great velocity. This has strung out for ten days now. I call the doctor because as far as I knew extended periods of diarrhea is bad for you. So my doctor said to call back in a WEEK if I am still shitting water.
God damn DIE-A-BEET-US!!! Title: Re: How is shitting WATER for ten days NORMAL?!? Post by: Troyer on July 23, 2009, 02:41:34 PM That'll teach you to sit there and eat table sugar spoonful by spoonful all day!

Title: Re: How is shitting WATER for ten days NORMAL?!? Post by: Liladia on July 23, 2009, 03:31:05 PM I'll put on pharmacist hat: Sadly, that side effect is super common with metformin. It should go away within a week or two. Just keep yourself hydrated (gatorade has tons of sugar, so you might want to avoid that) and call your doc if it really is still going on after another week. He might try another class of drugs (probably a sulfonylurea like glipizide). Just think of it this way - would you rather be shitting water for a few days or go blind, first lose feeling in your fingers and toes, then possibly have them amputated, become impotent, or be at high risk for heart attack/stroke/heart failure? I see people with all of these complications every day because they don't care about their diabeetus.
Plus, most people lose weight on metformin and stop craving so many carbs - which to me is a bonus! Taking off my pharmacist hat: Dude, Red, why is it always about the shit with you? Title: Re: How is shitting WATER for ten days NORMAL?!? Post by: Reddawn on July 23, 2009, 06:28:16 PM Well.....shit stories make people laugh. So do stories where you get hit in the nuts. I refrain from posting about the pigs I convince to have sex with me....unless you WANT to hear about that......they wont be documented with pictures of course because it's just better that way....it's depressing for the girls and myself.
I've been meaning to post the story on how I got my redwings....maybe I will do that next. Or the time with my GF in college I was getting ready to drop some ropes and nothing happened for a couple seconds and I thought there was a blockage....HILARITY ensues with that story!!! I figured poop is safer than jizz stories. Also I have a plan already if my toes fall off....I am going to boil the skin off and carry them around in a leather dice bag and tell people their fortunes.
