JMT PCT junction

Whitney JMT junction 767

Bad day. Started with diarrhea which I've been plagued with since mile 620. This was by far the worst, hiking was more about when to run into the woods to relieve myself. I had been treating the problem with anti diarrhea medicine but today was off the charts. No energy I only made 7 ish miles. I would stop about 40 yards and rest. I even took a nap on the forest floor for a half hour.
I have decided to take the Whitney portal to access bishop and make some decisions. I hope I have the energy to get up and over. I hope to hitch from the trail head.
I am concerned that I'm suffering from something more than just run of the mill diarrhea.
I still can't believe how empty I feel, my stomach growls so much along with gas, but careful might not just be gas. I have a hard time getting out of the tent getting my shoes before it's too late.
I'm so exhausted.
I will take a few days in bishop to evaluate.
