Diarrhea Solution

What should you do to get rid of diarrhea? Rest and the proper diet.

First of all, I'm not a doctor. But generally, if your diarrhea lasts more than 3 days, or if you have stomache pain or bloody stools, then you need to consult with your healthcare professional right away.

Usually, diarrhea will disappear on its own after a few days, as your body naturally cleanses itself of the toxins swirling around inside your tummy.

During this time, keep yourself hydrated.

I take pedialyte, and eat bananas every now and then. I also avoid greasy foods and dairy products.

Some friends have recommended drinking 7-Up (not cold) and eating bananas. Please take note, though, that they are not doctors.

I don't know what triggered my diarrhea. Was it the slightly raw potatoes in my chicken curry lunch last Monday? Or the cucumber in the California Maki Twister in the late afternoon? Really don't know.

Anyway, I hope to gain complete recovery soon.
