Hello all, I have been on this site and posted before but I will introduce myself again. I am Matt, I live in London, UK, am 22, 5'10 and weigh 153Ibs.

Anyway, here's my story......

After coming back from a weeks holiday in Puerto Banus, Spain which revolved around partying til the early hours, which obviously in turn, revolved around drinking copious amounts of Vodka - my body is in a terrible state. Before I went away I hadn't been drinking for at least 6 weeks and had been working out superbly following guides from this brilliant site. I lost 1 stone in 6 weeks whilst toning dramatically.

I have been back since Sunday and went to the gym on Tuesday for the first time since I came back. Literally 2 hours afterwards I started suffering diarrhea and have been today (Wednesday) also.

My body also detests poor food, it simply makes me feel ill..... which I am glad about after abusing my body previously....

Is this normal? Is it my body flushing the sh*t (no pun intended) out of my body after a heavy drinking orientated week?

Any help appreciated.

As far as I know the beer sh*ts and thus vodka sh*ts are normal.

I don't know about it "flushing" your system, but it for sure is probably not in a good state, and your liver might not be working quite right to help your body digest everything.

What really kicked it off was going to the gym as when I am there I must consume at least a litre of water whilst working out. As soon as I got home all hell broke loose!

Thanks for backing up what I originally thought.

You could have obtained what my doctors called "traveller's diarrhea."

I was in Mazatlan, Mexico for a week this summer. The wife and I were adamant about only taking in bottled water by name brands we recognized.

Everything was just fine until about three days after getting home and all h*ll broke loose...

The doctor claimed that you can get it from eating the food that has been washed in the water...(even foods that were washed and then cooked)

I have never been to Spain and I'm not sure what the water situation is...
