It’s not really advisable to use that because it will eventually cause constipation for me. Though it stop the diarrhoea.

I find that drinking 100 Plus or any other isotonic drink helps when the diarrhea problems start to dehydrate me.

Just drink the water, don’t eat the rice. After that don’t eat anything. Except drinking the WATER of the the plain porriage.


I tried numerous time, and it work for my whole family!!! Mostly within one day, recover liao.

Usually within a day. Also can take some lactobacillius (sachets, pills, or yakult).

My uncle was having a bad diarrhea some years back when we travel together to Bangkok. The doctor there suggested him to drink 'Sprite' and it did stop the diarrhea.

Sprite ? learn something new....
Once, i had a very serious diarrhorea, or rather a serious food posioning when i was in Phuket....
couldnt able to get up to visit a doc....
hub went to the clinic (recommended by the hotel) on my behalf
and the doc there juz prescribed the medication for me, without even need to see me.... 😉
seems that the docs there are very good in dealing with diarrhorea...
his medicine worked wonder but i forgot to take down the names of the medication....

kaka:
Dhamotil, Imodium (loperamide) .. will quickly stop the diarrhea

Get from any pharmacist

If pharmacist is not available, can get Charcoal tablets. However, they will not stop diarrhea immediately as they absorb the toxins so that the body can pass out. This is a more natural way though

Remember to keep the body hydrated ..
Imodium works faster in my opionion....Dhamotil is milder....
Yes, charcoal tablets is good...
esp after the diarrhorea has somewhat stop, i'll take charcoal tablets to absorb toxins, the stomach feels better after that....

If you are dehydrating, drink isotonic water to replace your body fluids.

Nothing oily. Best to eat toast bread. Porridge water to be hydrated.

Else, drink brown sugar mixed in water.

Wow! Thanks for the info... Sprite is my favorite soda, I am saved from the next diarrhea.

I usually take Lactéolfort or any brand of lactobacillus acidophilus, 2x10billion at the interval of 2 hourly til the condition improved.

Avoid acidic foods like fruits too. Best is to fast (but keep hydrated) for 24 hrs, then eat only bland fat-free food (plain porridge or toast) for another 24 hrs.

Someone once recommended drinking hot Lipton tea without sugar or milk. Have not tried it personally, but given the time of the night, you might want to give it a try.


TheAnswer:
Sounds good!
Please post your feedback if you decide to give it a try. I am interested in knowing how effective that is too.

Yup sure. DH is munching on the toasted bread now. Not sure if he wants the tea cos he might not be able to sleep if he has tea at this hour. Will see how things go first.
