I've got it right now and I'm supposed to be going on a night out tonight. Any decent remedies you've heard of, apart from the obvious? Cheers in advance.
Starch and LOTS of it. Works every time. Ergo eat a whole pan loaf ..or as much of it as you can before you begin to feel sick...
Diarrhea results in loose, soft or watery stools. When you get diarrhea, your main mission becomes how to stop it fast; if it continues, diarrhea can cause dehydration. Diarrhea may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, tainted food, parasites or poison and is the result of your body trying to rid itself of the toxin. However, if diarrhea persists, you should consult a doctor. Difficulty:ModerateInstructions Things You'll Need Over-the-counter medication (Imodium, Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate or DiaClear) Brown rice Banana Applesauce Yogurt Toast Baked potato Boiled eggs Cooked carrots Plain rice Unsalted crackers Unseasoned chicken Water Electrolyte drink Suggest Edits 1 Over-the-counter medicine is one of the fastest ways to stop diarrhea. Try a medication such as Imodium, DiaClear, Kaopectate or Pepto-Bismol. However, they can cause side effects, such as headaches or nausea. If a side effect does occur, stop taking the medicine immediately and talk to your doctor. 2 Eat foods that will help produce a firmer stool. Such foods include brown rice, bananas, applesauce, toast and yogurt. These foods are easily digested and can help stop diarrhea within the day. You can also eat a baked potato, boiled eggs and cooked carrots, plain rice and unsalted crackers. Unseasoned chicken without the skin can also be eaten. 3 Ask your doctor about activated charcoal pills. These are not recommended for everyone, which is why you should talk to your doctor first before taking them. Activated charcoal can help alleviate inflammation and stop diarrhea. 4 Stay hydrated. Drink water or an electrolyte drink such as Gatorade to help you stay hydrated while you have diarrhea. Avoid milk, alcohol and caffeine, since they can prolong the problem.
