Seems like everyone at work and at my house has this.

Stomach cramps and diarrhea. Just astonished how many people have it.

My gf has been especially 'ill' in the sense that she's had it for a few weeks now. She's not super sick, but it's more of a constant thing. Especially the cramps.

Same with me, it's taking forever to heal.

Is this the water? A bug? Listeriosis?

It's the air. We don't have water in CT dammit.
 
It might be contaminated water. Some of the water from the spring at Kalk Bay has a high e-coli count

I had that until I switched to filtered water.... haven't drunk raw tap water for a year now.

Everyone in my house has had it now except my kids, but they haven't had tap water in months. Ever since I got sick we started buying water for the whole family, no more tap water. Mine was exceptionally bad.
 
I myself had stomach issues where I'm constantly going to the toilet and it's runny - multiple times a day.

So, GF told me to avoid the tap water (which I have done) and my stomach has been much better.

Give us more details about this runny poo of yours. What colour is it? Does it stay the same colour? Does the odour vary? Whats the viscosity of it like?


Edit - just so we clear, just taking the piss out of your poo ;)
 
Why not ask for the texture as well? Is it lumpy, are there solids you can identify?
 
Had a runny tummy over the weekend, but only lasted like one day, so nothing major. Not that I very frequently suffer from this illness, maybe once a year at most. Still drink tap water daily though
 
The only time something moves fast in CT is when there is diarrhea going around.
 
If this is caused by Municipal water then as far as I am concerned Level 6b Water Restrictions or whatever other level they wish to implement is of little value as the Municipal water is then basically only good for the washing machine and flushing down the toilet, even showering could cause issues as the water passes over your mouth opening. Even brushing teeth can be an issue.

Quite disturbing really but nevertheless we all drink municipal water in our household, not before its boiled first though. We have a 15 litre urn that we boil the night before and let it cool off for the next morning. So far we are OK. Tummy has grumbled the last couple of days but could be from all the extra vegetables in my diet.
