Anyone else enjoying this bug?
I've not thrown up but I'm just slopping out my 7th squirty one of the last 3 hours. Like a flock of pigeons leaving their racing loft. Absolutely merciless. Meant to have the inlaws over today but they called off because of this demonic shitting.
I actually feel okish in myself but the time between thinking 'uh-oh' and having a torrent of stinking brown disgusting liquid shite fly out of my dung button with such velocity I've had to take babywipes to my arse cheeks and completely disinfect and clean the bog including under the seat and above the rim four times, has gone from a couple of leisurely minutes to about 6 seconds. And it's bedtime now. I really don't want to shit the bed.
Aside from immodium does anyone have a treatment for this?

Check with GP or NHS111 to be sure. Get well soon.
What to do if you have norovirus
If you experience sudden diarrhoea and vomiting, the best thing to do is to stay at home until you're feeling better. There's no cure for norovirus, so you have to let it run its course.
You don't usually need to get medical advice unless there's a risk of a more serious problem (see When to get medical advice).
To help ease your own or your child’s symptoms:
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. You need to drink more than usual to replace the fluids lost from vomiting and diarrhoea – as well as water, adults could also try fruit juice and soup. Avoid giving fizzy drinks or fruit juice to children as it can make their diarrhoea worse. Babies should continue to feed as usual, either with breast milk or other milk feeds.
Take paracetamol for any fever or aches and pains.
Get plenty of rest.
If you feel like eating, eat plain foods, such as soup, rice, pasta and bread.
Use special rehydration drinks made from sachets bought from pharmacies if you have signs of dehydration, such as a dry mouth or dark urine – read more about treating dehydration.
Adults can take antidiarrhoeal and/or anti-emetic (anti-vomiting) medication – these are not suitable for everyone though, so you should check the medicine leaflet or ask or your pharmacist or GP for advice before trying them.
Babies and young children, especially if they're less than a year old, have a greater risk of becoming dehydrated. Read advice about looking after babies and children under five who have diarrhoea and vomiting.
Norovirus can spread very easily, so you should wash your hands regularly while you're ill and stay off work or school until at least 48 hours after the symptoms have cleared, to reduce the risk of passing it on (see Preventing norovirus below).
After taking my sample to West Hill Hospital in Dartford they Environmental Health Officers came round to check the conditions I lived in, which pleased my mum !!!
You'll be ok in a couple of days
Stomach took 2 days to feel right again unfortunately.
Stay calm, watchers, it's just Carter and his arse :-)
Although....;-)
I remember (unfortunately) January 17th 2007 - the day I was chained to the bog for 7 hours from 9pm at night. It was hard to say how many episodes took place as it was like someone had turned an outside tap on in my arse, and had fucked off on holiday without turning it off.
Needless to say, the episode helped break the ice of living with my girlfriend for the first time (now wife). I had been on the khazi for so long that my legs went numb. Coupled with the light headedness resulting from losing the equivalent of Lake Ontario out my arse, I stood up, only for my legs to give way - sending me head first into the shower door.
End result is missus comes running in to find me, head in the shower stall, spraying brown water out my bum.
