Wtf is wrong with me

[Smoking Ganja]

so the past few weeks i havnt been feeling great i've had an on and off upset stomach. Last night i went to a friends bbq and had some burgers that didnt look great and i dunno if they were grilled right. So anyways i wake up today and im feeling pretty sick and i got mad diarhea (sp) and its almost like a peeing out my ass its fucked up i dunno what to do and do you think i should go to the doctor or what? Im just starting to get really paranoid that it might be like a tapeworm or something cuz they can be caused from uncooked beef and shit.

btw i've been drinking pretty heavily for the last two and a half weeks probably like 5-6 times a week so that might have contributed but im not much of a hangover person i rarely get them?

Please hellp me

Yeah, don't worry. I think, it's just beershits. Give it another day. Beershits and minor food irritation. Smoke Weed, it's a free radical scavenger, in your stomach.

Sounds like you might have some sort of intestinal bug of some kind--and sure, it could have been caused by improperly cooked hamburger meat--or possibly the heavy drinking could also have caused some sort of problem. Even if you no longer get hangovers, heavy drinking could easily still have inflamed your liver or pancreas, and either of those things could cause diarrhea, too.

It'd probably be a good idea to go check in with a doc. Go ahead and tell him or her the truth about about what you've been drinking or eating. They're not there to judge you but to help. You don't want to let diarrhea go too long untreated because it can dehydrate you and mess with your electrolytes (mineral salts) balance.

In the meantime, stop drinking everything that contains alcohol and go on a clear liquid diet for a couple of days to see if that'll calm things down. Clear soups. Jell-O. Clear carbonated beverages. Gatorade is good. No fruit juices, though. If the clear liquids help, then gradually re-introduce gentle foods into your diet after the first two or three days. Plain noodles. Rice. Applesauce. Plain toast. Bananas. Maybe a little bit of scambled egg. That's a sort of standard dietary approach to diarrhea that you can't go wrong with.

One possible explanation could be that you're a celiac.... or in other words, you're allergic to gluten, as many people are and don't even know it. Beer and whiskey are full of barley, which has a lot of gluten, though in the food area wheat is your main culprit. Try cutting out wheat, barley, and oats for a day or two and see if you feel better. Some symptoms of celiac disease include gastro-intestinal distress, upset stomach, behavioral problems, foggy-headedness, and dark circles under the eyes.
