:: The best diarrhea... ever ::

Ok this post might be TMI for some of you. Feel free to ignore.

Ever since I had that bowl of seafood gumbo two days ago, my stomach hasn't been feeling good. I've been hit with diarrhea. But, it really is the best diarrhea ever. I have control over when to go, cramps arent all tooooo bad and in general, still feeling pretty good. Just have to eat clean for awhile to flush out the system.
