The red-cherry two-step

Yesterday I came home from grocery shopping with a bag of big delicious dark red cherries. I brought the bag over to my desk and sat there and tried to get caught up. Scrumptious cherries, right there in easy reach. I was pre-occupied on the computer, and sat there mindlessly eating one cherry at a time. Oh, they were so delicious. While not paying attention I ate almost the whole bag. Whereupon about four hours later I discovered that the red-cherry two-step is remarkably similar to the green-apple two-step. Take two steps, ya gotta go, take two more steps, ya gotta go again.So I gave myself a couple of nice warm enemas, way up high, and washed all those digestively processed gas-producing cherries out, and felt much better. Enemas make as effective a treatment for diarrhea as they do for constipation, especially if you can get the enema up high into the small intestine.The whole event has a flavor of binge/purge about it, and that's not my thing. Still, damn, those cherries were good.Hugs,Diane

Diane, I have done the same thing with apples. Years ago we had friends who had a few acres on which they planted a small orchard. I can remember one clear autumn day that was a bit cool and going to help my friend Carolyn pick some so they could take them to the cider mill. The drops and the ones with some bugs went for cider, but there were lots of beautiful apples that didn't even make it to the collection basket. About 4 hours later all of that good apple fiber kicked in and, yes, you have, as my husband puts it, a gitty up in your step. Later that afternoon I did take a good soapy enema, which seems a little odd given the amount of diarrhea I'd had, but it sure calmed things down. Love your story, though.

Gave a "baby girl" an overdose of prunes one day. Let her eat to her hearts content, about two hours later she was much more concerned with her bottom than her heart.

PS, she filled diapers three times , what a mess! Worth every minute of it.

When I was in my late teens, I accidentally discovered this effect with dill pickles. I've always loved pickles, and would sometimes eat three or four at a time. About an hour later I was on the toilet emptying. I guess it was all the salt in the pickles, a little milder than Epsom salts, but got the job done.

I ate a lot of plums once and was going to the wash room every 15 minutes a couple of hours later till I cleaned myself out with an enema.
