Food borne illness.: Sounds like you may have contracted a food-borne illness, either from the food itself or from others who may have handled the food with unclean hands. This may last a few days. Drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated.

A member asked:

For the past 3 days, I haven't been getting any urge to defecate. So I force myself to defecate and I only pass small amounts of soft stool (not enough in my opinion for all the food I'm eating). What could be the problem and is it worrisome?
