Diarrhea

Could a be a multitude of issues. Stomach bug, food posioning, too much fiber, consuming too many sugar alcohols, etc. If it does not come with a fever, just ride it out. Be sure to drink lots of liquids, as diarrhea can be dehydrating.

Dysentery killed many people on the trail to Oregon.

No. Though certain conditions like dysentery can kill. And Diarrhea is a symptom of dysentery. So if it is due to a severe illness then it can kill. But by itself, no.

Yes. Untreated , especially in infants, the elderly or the immuno-compromised. Diarrhea causes electrolyte imbalance , which in turn can cause an irregular heartbeat , and the heart cannot maintain a regular beat with out adequate potassium ,so if not treated in a timely fashion, diarrhea can kill you, as can any problem which causes extreme dehydration.

The same as any other restaurant. Improper food handling, unclean work surfaces, unwashed hands, spoilage, etc.

Diarrhea can occur anywhere, At Home, at a store, at school, Anywhere.

The most common cause of weakness and nausea is gastroenteritis caused by a virus. If you have any other medical conditions, if your symptoms last longer than three days, if you have recently gone camping or traveled outside the country, or if you are dizzy or have palpitations, contact your health care provider for advice.

Well in the first place this shouldn't happen. If it does then you probably ate some contaminated beef.

If you reacted very soon after eating a steak it's unlikely to be due to food contamination involving that particular meal.

You might have eaten something earlier, possibly the previous day, that has affected you, or you might have been suffering from some kind of gastric problem.

If you continue to have symptoms whenever you eat, or whenever you eat particular foods, you need to check with a doctor.

No! The only way to get the tetrahydrocannabinols out of your system is time. If you are a heavy smoker it will take 30 days, if you are a light smoker (ie: once a month) then it will take about 9 days in total. I take it you have a drug test coming up soon. Chances are, you'll fail it if you have smoked in the preceding 7 days. Even if you ate it, the drugs would pass into your blood stream and it'd take the same amount of time as indicated above.

I'm a doctor who deals with drug addiction I failed a urine test for pot after being clean for 57 days, not only myself but a friend also failed his after stopping, 48 days clean. We both were chronic users, myself for over 20 years. I am over weight, so is he. I started back smoking after the 57 days, smoked about 8 grams of good pot. Whats the longest time period that it could possiably take for me to clean out, to pass a urine test for a dr? Please dont say 30- 45 days, cause that aint good enough for me. I had also taken 2 home test for pot, and passed them both. Whats up with that? Whats the longest it has taken for someone over weight to pass a urine test for pot? I'd sure like to know. I've heard it could take up to 6 mos. I sure hope not.

One of the most effective ways to treat diarrhea is to take 'Imodium'. Imodium is an opioid drug used specifically to treat diarrhea. One can also use products such as 'Dioralyte' which will prevent one from becoming dehydrated from diarrhea.

I would ask your doctor about this one. One of my brothers is an OBGYN and he tells us the horror stories, I have also been pregnant 8 times (where some wierd stuff happened) and I have never heard anything like this. My advice: Talk to your doctor.

You can get Viruses that can cause Diarrhea from contaminated Water.

Also, Drinking laxative drinks like prune juice can cause Diarrhea.

Well, you asked for it. As food makes its way through the GI tract, the body secretes various enzymes and acids that help to break down the food into smaller and smaller bits so that the food can be absorbed in the intestines. By the time that the food gets to the small intestines, it is a soupy fluid that is chock full of enzymes. As the food travels through the intestinal tract, many things happen...the fluid and food particles are absorbed, the enzymes start to degrade, and what is left starts to firm up and form what we in the health care field call poop. Most of this process occurs in the large intestine and it usually takes between 12 and 24 hours for that Big Mac to complete the whole process of digestion from start to finish. When a person has diarrhea, the motility of the intestines is increased, meaning that the contents of the intestine are moved more quickly through the intestines. This means that the liquid poop in the small intestine with all the enzymes that are meant to digest the food that has been eaten is passed throught the intestines and out the rectum before the enzymes have had a chance to degrade. This is why diarrhea is liquid and the burning sensation is a result of the active enzymes acting on the sensitive tissue of the anus

Chemotherapy drugs, which are part of an aggressive regimen in fighting cancer, cause all of those symptoms.

If it is caused by a virus such as C. difficile or Norwalk and proper hand hygiene is not observed it can easily be transmitted from one person to another.

If you have diarrhea, you should avoid Soda's and really sugary drinks. Water is the best thing to drink, however, tea and lemonade can also be consumed. Just use your judgment! As long as it's not too sugary, it's OK. Small amounts of 7 UP are also acceptable.

I don't drink much coke or any other soda, but on occasion we might buy a 2-liter. And I may have like half a cup every couple of days and so would my boyfriend until it was gone. I have noticed though that everytime I drink it my abdomen starts hurting really bad and then I get diarrhea ( I know too much info.) I didn't know if this was a problem.

It usually is not a sign, but it is very common among pregnant women! So maybe it should be a sign! Your signs of pregnancy most commonly include: * missed period * tender/swollen breasts * change in color of the breasts * fatigue

1. your zeb

by eating soft food EX: jello and fluids and alot of water

its not contagious, however what ever causes it might be Diarrhea is a symptom of an ailment or disease. It in itself is not contagious but the disease causing it may be contagious.

Cramping abdominal pain, lack of appetite, and diarrhea are the main complaints. In approximately 10% of patients, diarrhea turns bloody. Fever develops in about half of them.

That comes from creek water used for drinking in the outodors when protozoan cysts spread by animal (including human) droppings that, when swallowed, result in a serious intestinal disorder: giardiasis, otherwise known as hiker's diarrhea, backpacker's curse, beaver fever

I don't think so, because people normally use Phenergan when they are feeling nauseous and they are vomiting a lot.

No. Your best bet is to stay away from dairy until a few days after you start to feel better, then do a small test and wait and see how it took. Then slowly build it back in. Your best bet is to stick to the B.A.R.T. system (bananas, apples, rice, and toast). No other fruits, they contain too much sugar. Drink plenty of fluids and take probiotics. You can buy them at any natural foods store such as Henry's or any other local place. This will help balance the natural (good) flora in your intestinal tract and speed up your recovery.

If you get diarrhea often you should consider that your poor diet (fried foods and lack of fiber in the form of fruit or vegetables) or a gluten intolerance (Celiac disease) are to blame. ake care of yourself. You can reverse most disease before damage to your body is too great.

To your health!
