how to stop the plops?

[slartibartfast]

hope no ones eating their tea while reading this:-

as it's my first time at le-mans and the first time that i've been able to drink myself stupid morning noon and night for 5 days solid and after all the BBQ food and junk that i eat my bowels aren't going to be in the best of health so i'm wondering what the secret is to stop the plops?
or do i just take 3 toilet rolls instead of two and put up with it?



Thanks in advance

Paul

unless you have issues and need to go 5 times a day, it will be fine. Toilets aren't great, but they do the job for the once a day you will need to. Take your own toilet roll though.

You can try loperamide 2mg take 1 as a prophylactic and then one more if you get the squits, you can get these in Tesco's etc for a quid they are supposed to be a symptomatic cure for diarrhoea. It may leave you a bit bunged up though, also may leave you a little drowsy after the drinks. I remember at School when we went camping being given army rations containing 'Biscuit Browns' They were supposed to bung you up, whether that was a myth or not I am not sure.

the advice comes quicker than I can type, immodium and loperamide are the same thing. Buy the generic version (loperamide) it is cheaper.

With all the cr@p (pardon the pun) food you'll be eating it is most likely that you have the opposite problem.

One guy in our group didn't go for 3 days!!

ive queued for 20 mins to find a loo with no door, lock no loo paper and no toilet seat, local supermarket has 1 trap and 1 disabled toilet with a q of 15 guys , mcdonalds has 1 or 2 traps but door is only 4 feet high . thinkin about it ill try a bucket in my tent this year , thats got to be the answer, hmm where do i empty it tho?

Can't speak for the other campsites but the toilets on Houx are OK - big block with 50:50 squat-n-drop/sit-n-read and portacabin-style block down at 'the bend'.

Personally I find the temporary block to be about the best and normally sit-n-read.

This is why the White Rabbit Racing campsite will be installing it's own toilet facilities and they'll be kept in reasonable condition. I don't like below par facilities when pondering the meaning of life so we'll have out own thrones.

Can't help you off camp though.

i'm so happy i opted for camp WRR/PH and paid a little extra, for a nice toilet it's worth every extra penny.

Thanks Guy

If you are going to be eating lots of BBQ food I wouldnt worry about having the sts, its more the other direction in my experience

[lowdrag]

Being of the older generation we were given Exlax chocolate to keep us "regular" at school whether we needed it or not. We had a new boy join the class and he seemed to like chocolate so we all gave him ours. Dunno why he didn't turn up for a few days though

I swear by it! It helps with IBS or when you're on a long journey and don't want to use service station/local facilities!

Take something with codiene in it...works a treat and is easier to "get back to normal" compared to taking Immodium...

[alman]

Careful though with immodium, the first after a while on it you will actually 'st a brick', anyone know what the toilets are like in Houx Annexe? was in maison blanche last year and it was alright.
