I just had a bout of diarrhea.
I came to wonder, "What's happening in my kidneys now?"
I had little to no urine.

Also, my temperature and bp is normal, but my heart rate is an average 100-110bmp!

Has anybody had the same situation?

" Yes, and I went to the doc. Your heart rate is high because you are dehydrated from the loss of fluid with the diarrhea. Same goes for less urine, dehydration!! Drink lots of water and you heart rate should go down and everything else should get back to normal. Why the diarrhea? I don't know, could be something you ate, a virus or bacterial thing. Lots of water sister!! "

" I know all the water is leaving my @$$!!

Did you ever wonder if your kidneys are shrinking or expanding because of water loss?

The day before diarrhea, I had chills all day then I threw up. I felt better, took some Gravol so that it doesn't happen again, then came the diarrhea. I took Imodium. So now it's an up and down struggle between Imodium and Gravol.

Today is the first day I started feeling better. I just ate solid food for diner, now I feel sick. I'm using a heating pad on my stomach, I think heat eases digestion. "
