I am so lucky that I haven’t experienced this hardship before but one of my colleagues did suffer this unexpectedly while she was riding on an express bus in a 12 hours long journey. She felt stomach ache after the bus had started 5 hours or so. Later she felt like she needed to rush to the toilet. With no delay, she asked the driver to stop at any kiosk or gas station by the way. She felt quite embarrassing and sorry as she had to ask the driver to stop many times for her urgent time. So I always take great care to take hygienic food before going to any long journey so as to avoid any food poisoning.

yeah that is really awful. i would also do the same as you did..go to a nearby restaurant and use their comfort room. i would be really really pissed off if the comfort room is crowded and i have to wait for minutes falling in line just to use one cubicle. in order to avoid this predicament, it would be helpful if you bring medicine for diarrhea. be prepared and expect the unexpected. hehe =)

yep, i can imagine, and i'm glad it didn't outrun you to a more embarrasing situation. there's a universal response to this condition, and of course everyone would feel the same, stomachache, sweats, restlessness, uncomfortability, panic, embarrasment, worry, you just wann relieve yourself of gthe discomfort and run to the nearest relieving point. if you're in the middle of the road, you'd propbably one to the nearest available toilet. the worst scenario is when you really have to go and there's no toilet around, you'd immediately create one in a hopefully secluded place, or having the least people around. you just don't care having the worst diarrhea and you'd think about sheepishly explaining yourself for later once it happens that you burst into your pants.

I feel your pain. I was about six months pregnant, we had just gone out to eat and were taking back roads to meet my parents for some reason. I had it coming on. There is nothing no gas stations anything on this 20 minute area of road. I finally saw a library and yelled at my husband to pull over. I made it thank God. The library is usually not open on Sat. but they were doing spring cleaning. My sone is three and to this day my husband will pick on me. If I say I have to go (even just pee) and we are on a road trip he'll respond with "anyone see a library" It's all in good fun but I am so glad that library was there.

Thats indeed an awlful experience. If I cannot reach the nearest loo then I think i am going to use a polythene paper if am in my car then I dispose it in the nearest trash bin. Diarohea is a bad experience and it might ashame you very badly and can make you sweat the whole body before you reach the loo.
