Seeking Advice After Car Accident and Health Concerns

This topic is about someone who recently experienced a car accident. Although there were no physical injuries, they have started having unexpected bouts of diarrhea. Being away from home, they can't reach their usual stoma nurse and are feeling quite alone and worried about whether this is a normal reaction or something temporary.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. It's important to seek medical attention right away. Visiting an emergency department is recommended because sudden diarrhea could be a sign of something serious that needs immediate care.

2. Don't wait for a stoma nurse to be available. It's better to act quickly to ensure everything is okay.

3. Keeping others updated on the situation can be helpful, as it allows for continued support and advice.
