TIFU by drinking apple juice

First time posting here so here goes. Over the past few months I've been trying to bulk up more. I don't have a huge appetite so I've been researching small ways to increase my calorie consumption in ways that I could tolerate it.

Some of these small hacks included adding condiments and sides to meals, having dense snacks throughout the day, or replacing water with juices or smoothies.

The last one produced this wonderful story. I'd gone grocery store shopping to pick up my protein powder, frozen fruits, and juice, yes, apple juice specifically.

Anyway, one day work I came home feeling so thirsty. It was a hot day in the middle of summer which didnt help. Got dinner ready, and as I was taking a glass out of the cabinet, I thought to myself "you know what, this would be a good time to do what the internet recommended"

Put my water pitcher back in the fridge and got out the apple juice. Ended up drinking 4, maybe 5 good-sized glasses of juice and felt pretty good.

My god I was so wrong.

Within 30 minutes, I felt my stomach cramp. Hard. To the point it brought me to my knees.

Breathing got faster. I could NOT expand my stomach enough to breathe because of how tight my belly got. Started sweating too and felt hot all over.

I dunno what I thought was going on, but all I knew was that I needed to get to the bathroom. Immediately.

Made it just in time. Otherwise I dont think I could have dealt with what was coming out.

You know how sometimes if youre not sure if milk has gone bad or not? So you either do a sniff test or pour a small amount out to see what it looks like?

Well, that ungodly type of mix of liquid/solid was released by my mortal vessel. Sloshing around my stomach before I let it out while my toilet cried for mercy.

And it would not. Fucking. Stop.

I mustve spent at LEAST an hour in a mix of sweating, shitting, and hugging my belly to get it to stop. Alas, it would not.

Did I think to go to the ER or something? Yes, but I didnt think I'd make it two steps before shitting everywhere. And I didnt want my lowest point to be bent down on my knees scrubbing my own shit off the floor while I questioned every life decision that led to that point.

Like any healthy adult, I would rather keep my lowest point to be borderline crying in the bathroom in private while my intestines went to war. And I did just that. Pretty proud if I do say so.

Eventually I felt things slow down enough to get up and salute my toilet. Felt like that Spongebob episode after patrick destroys squidwards bathroom. Only then did I google what the fuck happened to me.

In short, apple juice has a LOT of sugar. Fructose and sorbitol especially. And the body cant handle or digest lots of those sugars all at once. So, they run through your gut and pull water into your intestines while they make you regret your life choices.

Apparently, 8oz is recommended per DAY. I mustve drank at least >24oz just that night soooo that explains that.

TL;DR: Downed too much apple juice and accidentally gave myself an hour-long explosive diarrhea session.
