I've had a bad few days.I have soiled four tracksuit bottoms,the carpet and the bathroom floor.Thing is,I purposely stopped eating to stop the diarrhoeah.

But,I have noticed something different in my routine.I've been drinking far more coffe than usual,eating less,and have taken more than the recommended dose of tolteridine and indoramin.I have hardly voided,hardly anything comes out of my bowels.Does the bladder medication give you diarrhoea?Does the liquid,cofee,go to the bowels instead of the bladder?The diarrhoea is very dark,like my coffee!It won't feckin' stop!ARRGGHH!No more coffee!No more bladder meds!

You are going to make yourself very ill if you don't eat and drink properly, having the runs is very dehydrating.

First, don't stop eating and drinking , especially with diarrhea. You'll only get sicker.

Secondly, increased caffeine can cause bowel issues. As can warm liquids.

Third, almost any new drug to your system can cause bowel/stomach problems.

Neither of the meds you on cause diarhea , in fact Detrol (tolteridine) causes the opposite.

Maybe it's time for a doctors visit?
There is no winner. You just give up, or keep trying.

I just had a problem lately, but I attributed it to stress, due to my parents staying over the last few weekends.

They tend to take over the house and are just a bit messy in general.
