JT! Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 In a kind of ironic twist (irony possibly wasted on everyone but OBM because of thread I made years ago) I've recently discovered that certain types of cider will give me the shits. Since I've been back home I've been drinking almost everyday and on two occasions I've drank Bulmers cider, on both occasions I've had diarrhea a few hours after. However, other ciders such as Magners (which I've been drinking the most) doesn't seem to have the same effect. This then also reminded me of a few times where I've been drinking at my local bar at home, they serve Woodchuck Amber Cider on tap. On 4 occasions I've had the shits that I remember, and possibly something of a semi-state nature many many more times. In fact it's been so bad, that I had to bail out into the small wooded area on the way home from the bar to fertilize the trees on two occasions (the other time I made it to a toilet). At home I do also drink woodchuck, but it's the 'dark an dry' variant which doesn't seem to have the same effect on me. So in both countries I'm drinking cider, some gives me the shits some doesn't. But, throughout the last year and a half of my life, I had I've also had issues with my guts and I'm now starting to think that maybe there's something I'm eating / drinking that is also present in the cider I'm drinking. Problem is there's no ingredients shown on any bottle / can of cider for me to work all this out. So TF, any ideas? In before going to the doctors I'll be doing that in the next few weeks now that I have insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) It is most likely irritable bowel syndrome from what you describe, which is nothing to worry about and is very common but I would see your doctor just to make sure. They might want to run some checks to rule out anything nasty. There are some foods/drink that set me off sometimes, like some fruit juices. Like you said, it is prbably an ingrediant in those ciders that sets you off. Compare cans or bottles of ciders that give you problems and those that don't and see if there is anything in there that could be the problem.

Matt Vandart Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Bulmers and magners are the same aren't they? Have the episodes of bum chunder coincided with any anal probe type abductions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Bulmers and magners are the same aren't they? Well I thought my bowl issues had been caused by stress as i suffer from multiple effects from that (teeth grinding, high blood pressure, PCV's), or too much fiber as I'd eat bean burritos on a regular basis, but obviously I stopped that but it didn't make too much of a difference. Also tried cutting out dairy but that did nothing too. I am alergic to certain kinds of brocoli so I'm wondering if there's something else my body can't handle that I've been ingesting for the past year or so. My brother seems to think it could be sweeteners so I'll be drinking a bottle of sprite zero tonight to see what happens. I certainly don't want to, or really need to stop drinking cider. I know which types work for me and which don't now. I just wish there was ingredients on cans of cider so I could maybe find out what it is.

Muel Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Drink bitter instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Fosters will give me the shits, Stella wont. Sugar free energy drink gives me the shits, all other forms of caffeine (same brand energy drink but with sugar) wont. I guess you just gotta find out what wont make your anus explode.

Krisboats Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I used to be fine with spicey foods until i started eating vindaloo's once a week while at uni. Can't eat many spicey foods now without having less than delightful mr hankeys the next day. I think drinking a lot of beer has the same effect, but that's generally regarded as being beer shits so i'm fine with that. Also, slightly runny egg whites Looks like old age is starting to set in.

PaRtZ Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Disappointed this has nothing to do with shitting through spoke nipple holes. I envisiged some sort of play-dough machine and a video to accompany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Can you imagine the length of a human shit if condensed through a nipple. It'd be like the world's longest fish shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I drank 6 cans of mangners two nights ago and my poo was just dandy in the morning. So tonight I'm gonna stick to magners all night long so I don't have to barge in on two people snorting stuff of the bog seat and hurry them out.
