Physical malady when first quitting
Has anyone experienced excessive (sorry) diarrhea when first getting sober? I'm on day 6 and I feel like I keep having to run to the bathroom. Sorry for content, but I have to ask!
if it is still persisting go to chemist for anti diarhea medicine and electrolyte rehydration powder scahets to replenish and balance natural minerals and salts
book an apt with gp/doc just to be on safe side tho diarehea causes severe dehydration sweating etc drink plenty of water but make sure u see a doc just to rule out anything else
good luck and nice to meet you

You may need to go to the dr but for this minute go to the store and get 5 or 6 bottles of Pedialyte. Not gatorade, Pedialyte. Store brand is fine. Try to drink an entire bottle every day for at least a week maybe longer. If it's too tart, mix it with ginger ale or fruit juice or whatever you like.
Is this Day 6 after a binge or even just a bad drinking spell by any chance?

I second pedialyte or Moms to Moms which is safeway brand (if in US).
Bland diet- bland chicken white rice potatoes well steamed veggies if you are feeling daring. Stay away from raw foods, fatty foods, sugar foods, and fried foods.
Get some immodium.
You might just have a stomach bug, but you could be dealing with stress as well without the numbing effect of alcohol. It will pass. But if it persists for another week, or if you feel yourself majorly weak go see a Dr. But probably just a bug or stress.
Get outside for a walk and fresh air. Do some breathing exercises or yoga.

I have had the same issue, but usually only the first four days or so after not drinking. I agree with everyone else, could be from withdraw, could be more if it persists. If it lasts longer than a week, probably should see the Dr.
