Oh man, what a classic.
Remember to drink a ton of water to replace everything you're losing to the throne.
Last thing you want is to feel extra shitty due to dehydration when you're already recovering
Maybe even supplement with pedialyte if it’s been excessive.
I imagine a warrior doesn't want to be backed up during battle.
Too much and they can start using biological warfare.

As a kid, I found a box of dried prunes. They were so soft and tasty, I ate the complete box.
Definitely not on my list of repeats.
I did the exact same thing, long ago. I saw it only had like 2g fiber per 4oz serving, so I drank a quart. Spent 8 hours on the toilet, my roommate was bringing me Gatorade and laughing at my tears.
You know those funny reviews of sugar free gummy bears that like, ruined people’s day/lives/grounded planes after a bag was shared among passengers and then shat their literal souls out until they begged for mercy that did not come? ( https://www.amazon.com/review/RZFIYJTPVUZ94 )
Yeah, that’s because of sorbitol, the artificial sugar/laxative that is naturally occurring in high doses in prunes.
I once had the great idea of drinking a litre of beetroot juice, which I had read is amazing for sports recovery because of something something helping blood carrying more oxygen or something like that.
Instant diarrhea, and on top of it, beetroot tinted it looked just like blood, so up until I realised what was going on and the fact that it actually wasn't blood, that was a scary experience.
I don't know whether beetroot is known to cause diarrhea or it was just my body noping the juice out of it, but I have steered clear of beetroot juice ever since!
Beetroot is well known stool softener, in liquid and solid form. To keep regular, one should consume beetroot salad or soup once or twice a week.
So glad to see the gummy bears mentioned.
Feel better, OP!
Wow, such beautiful prose
That's a wild story! Sometimes it's not drugs; just poop.
being exposed to too much AC
"AC" as in Air Conditioning??
OP seems to be Korean which makes me extra curious because Koreans have interesting ideas about AC.
I'm not Korean myself but I live in Korea.
And AC means air conditioning? Do you think AC can impact your body more than just cooling it?
That's what the Korean Doctor said. But yeah, I don't know exactly how that would work. Rather I think me traveling to Japan 3 days before getting sick has a higher probability that I got some virus on the airport, airplane, bus, subway somewhere.
Yeah that's a complete myth and not based on actual science.
My father got sick on a drive across the US one time, and I swear the doctors said it was because of being in an air conditioned car for an extended period. (I’m sure it was cranked)
We didn’t have central air, or cars that had AC at the time (the car for the trip was a rental).
Anal Chastising
A friend got a keg of pluot (spelling? Plum+apricot) cider for a wedding, that did not go well. I guess it tasted good, but there were not enough toilets...
Wait, since when do pluots make you shit
Idk I figured the cider was a plum apricot mix, not just from pluots, or that pluots acted like plums do... I only had beer that night, but the bride almost lost bowel control during the reception and the bathrooms were destroyed and backed up
I would say this also goes for dried prunes, once I ate most of a bag and got a similar experience, it just takes a bit longer before you run to the toilet.
It goes for anything with sorbitol in it, which prunes are high in, humans are generally not able to process it which leads to a bowel movement or gas
Dried or fresh cherries will also produce the effect in sufficient quantity. Which is how I learned not to eat a bag in a sitting.
Inulin has an opposite effect. It's a natural fiber. You can mix a few teaspoons into a glass of water and it will fix your gut flora and converts diarrhea (not caused by a sickness) into some farts and solid poop.
My wife found some lightweight anti dhiaria medicine from back when she was pregnant. I took two of it and what happened is exactly what you describe too.

Sorbitol intolerance is a bitch! It’ll get you every time
Whatever the opposite of prune juice is I need.
Fiber is solid so eat a whole box of Fiber One bars
