... and when I explain it to my doc, I equate the explosive D to, like, projectile vomiting, and then the spasms and cramping afterwards to dry heaves. I think the comparison works. After my D attacks, I just feel like pushing, and often I'm just left stranded on the toilet, unable to stop the urge to let go and push, but there's nothing left to get out of me.
BUT! To stop the after effects, I've been taking Tylenol-3! Not for the pain, mind you, but to stop the spasming. It works great, and nights where I'd otherwise be up for hours *after* an attack, I take my T-3, and then my intestines all calm down within 1/2 an hour.
