Diarrhea on the job? How to stop it when you feel it coming on?
Generally, when I am about to get diarrhea, my stomach alerts me about 15 minutes before hand. I get the worst stomach ache and my stomach makes all kinds of weird noises and I have gas. Where I work, I do not have access to a bathroom at all times. I am cashiering and constantly surrounded by needy customers, and generally I can not get to the bathroom. Lately I have been able to get to the bathroom, but in the future–does anyone have any tips or tricks to stopping diarrhea while you feel it coming on?
Immodium AD. It works fast.
Squeeze your buns together real tight
Sounds like it wouldn’t hurt to see a doctor. What you describe isn’t normal and repeated attacks of diarrhea can lead to other problems. Discuss with your supervisor. Maybe you could set up a signal that would let him/her know that your station needs to be covered for a few minutes. Then excuse yourself.
