i use to tell my husband that i was like a car with a certain ration of gas everyday & that any thing out of just basic needs would put me in the minus column.........i felt that just going grocery shopping, having a dr's appointment, going to take care of a small grandchild, which slept most the time, would make everything worse.........sometimes just thinking about what i had to do to just leave the house, would send me to the toilet.........sometimes i would have to start the whole process at least an hour earlier than i needed normally, just to have enough time to get to the toilet 3-5x before leaving........& if i didn't start hours before & take a bunch of drugs, i wouldn't b able to go........it sounds like u have adrenal fatigue.........the things u describe about just doing normal things causing the D, that is so familiar........there is a great book called: "Adrenal Fatigue, the 21st century syndrome" by James Wilson.........get it & read it thoroughly, then take the quiz in it........it grades the symptoms.........there is another book called: Fiber Menace, there's a website by the same name.........these books helped me immensely...........u can also try some licorice root DGL, i think it's called........it's a natural thing for adrenals, altho, u may need alot, depending on how bad off u r.........it took me 6-1/2yrs to find a dr who would treat me for this thing.......most dr's don't recognize it as a disease.........& it is dis ease........the thing is, if u don't get help with this, it will get worse & effect more than just going to the toilet.........the adrenals produce a whole cascade of hormones, that if any one of them is in short supply, it causes others to b over-produced & this can cause D in a big way.......but it effects allergies & allergic reactions, digestion & sleeping, just to name a small portion of what the adrenals do..........what happened to me, was because of my adrenals being so deficient, caused hypothyroidism, which caused me to lose lean muscle mass.......which makes it even harder to do the normal things, which causes a bigger reaction, when i did anything physical.........don't let it go on........i found a dr that did iodine loading tests & treated adrenal fatigue, by getting a list of dr's in my area who treated them, by checking the Barnes Foundation, on the net...............i sent them $18.00 & they sent me all kinds of info.........now here's a piece of info, if u have adrenal fatigue, u r hypothyroid.........& vise versa.......they go hand in hand........what happened to u, from ur description, is when u over did the soccer game, u put ur self over that line.......there were probably other signs, but if they don't all come together & really impinge on ur life, we tend to over-look them & go about our business.......it can happen with a death in the family, marriage problems coming to a head, excess stress at work stress, any number of things.......but it's sort of like the straw that broke the camels back & from then on u'r fighting an uphill battle.........& family & close fiends haven't a clue & can look at u like u'r nuts........it can make matters worse, when the people u care about just don't understand........it's a case of needing them to walk a mile in ur shoes..........u can end up feeling very alone........& i'll tell u, drugs that effect the muscle activity in ur intestines or anti-anxiety drugs, r not the answer.....they only treat symptoms, they don't get at the base cause........& fiber doesn't fix what's going on with the intestinal walls.........they r suppose to b porous & let the liquid thru, it carries the nutrients to ur tissues..........when it doesn't u slowly become malnourished........this will make u sick & want to die & get it all over with.......& of course u become depressed when u can't do anything u use to do that u enjoyed, can't do anything without paying for it afterward, for days or weeks.........one more thing, potassium might help........it helps the intestinal walls to b more porous.........u can get it at any vitamin store.........& u may need more than one pill a day.........i need about 1000mgs a day........i suggest u try it on a day when u can stay home to c what happens.........try the one pill & c how u feel, then u may try to take more.........it's something that's very individual.........potassium can cause D, but if u don't have enough, it can cause it, too..........i am here, u can write to me thru this website if u want to.........u can also check out my other posts.......hope u feel better....... chris
