I Have a Problem... (acid)
Posted: 03-16-06 13:15pm

I have been sick since monday. On monday and tuesday I was extremely tired, I slept through both days (i did squeeze in a meal or two). On wednesday I wasn’t sleepy anymore, however a new problem started. I went to the bathroom and tried doing a #2. I didn’t get poop, I got an acidic brown liquid (not even a spoonful). I have a feeling that it is a stomach acid (i don’t think the intestines have acids). Whenever I try to go to the bathroom I get the same liquid. I know it’s an acid because it really burns my skin around my anus.

Today, I woke up and thought I was back to normal, until I had to go to the bathroom. It happened again. I decided to take action and about an hour ago I took some exlax so that I can get what ever is in my system out of me.

What would cause acid to exit my body?

Did I make the right choice in taking exlax?

Nevermind! It was some sort of flu. I'm 100% better! :)
