Okay, I got diarrea two weeks ago and thought it would just go away. I've never had it before so I thought this was normal like a flu or something...
I finnally got really annoyed with having to hit the washroom every couple hours after I ate and decided to look on the net for some quik cure like a pill that would promote constipation, no such luck but I did find this site and now I'm scared that I have all these permanent problems.

If anyone could clarify whats wrong with me I'd be really happy (or depressed but thankfull) and I'm going to make an app. for doctor next moday or saturday if he's open.
Here's how it started:
I started off soft feces then, went to an almost jelloy dark brown then at the worst part it was like water filled with semidigested food, and now it is more orangish and that last time i went it had almost like a mucusy skin encasing it. I can totally smell what I've eaten (which is actually not that bad) and now i have gas and a stomach ache (hopefully gas).

Also near the begining I had a craving for beer (might be totally unrelated or something todo with liver?)
I have previously taken accutane.

Hello,
It is perfectly normal for people to have diarrea, in my case i get all the time but i have quite a serious case of IBS, so you got nothing to worry about, you've probably picked up a stomach bug from somewhere and you may need some antibiotics, or you may have got food poisoning and it hasn't cleared up yet, there are many reasons for diarrea, and it is extremely unlikely to be very serious but if it bothers you that much then go and see your Dr, and until then you should get some Imodium from your nearest pharmacy.
I hope this helps.

Cool thanks actually it got alot better, I can hold it in and I had bad gas all yesterday. I just got a little worried about the fact that it might have been chronic but I'm gonna ask my doctor about it to be safe.
