What should I do?

Question

I ate an entire watermelon and my stool has been like water for days, should I see a doctor or am I a worrier?

Answer 1

hey, i know watermelons are good and all, but enjoy it. a watermelon isn't going to go bad overnight. trust me, you have nothing to worry about. when you were eating it or should i say devouring it, you probably just wasn't watching how much of the green you were taking in. ( the meat closest to the inner Reine ). it happens to the best of us, well not really, most people don't eat a whole watermelon in one sitting...lol but you know what i mean. having the Hershey squirts for a couple of day isn't going to kill ya, it might dehydrate you but that's an easy fix, DRINK WATER. the only suggestion i have for you is to wait for your stool to become normal again before taking on a whole watermelon.. don't waste your time seeing a doctor, he will probably just give you some poopie pills to thickin up your stool and basically tell you what you just heard from me....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!!!

Answer 2

Wow, that's a lot of melon to eat...
Melons are a natural diuretic (i.e. they make you pee). When my feet were swollen during pregnancy the dr actually prescribed eating melon to get some extra liquid out of my body and it seemed to work. I could see how some of that access liquid could end up in your stool too. I wouldn't worry about it unless it lasts more than a few days.

Answer 3

Watermelon is high in three things: water, sugar and fiber. Perhaps you overdid it. If you continue to have watery stools then see a doctor.

Answer 4

I wouldn't worry about it. Eating a ton of fruit usually makes you go to the bathroom.

Answer 5

Fruits are (natural) laxatives. Now try to eat bananas.

Answer 6

try eating some soda crackers or bread to absorb all the excess liquid in your bowels..

Answer 7

Drink some coffee and you will be fine.

Answer 8

dont worry bout it!
