Diarrhea

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!

Yes it can, the infection in the mouth from an abscess can cause vomiting, nausea, sweats, lightheadedness and diarrhea. It is important to seek the help of a Dr if you are having any of these symptoms and also consult with your dentist.

It could be, but a stomach virus that causes the diarrhea and cramping could be making the period lighter too. Illness and stress, as well as many other things can cause a wacky period. On the other hand, a lighter and/or shorter period and diarrhea are both early symptoms of pregnancy.

Yes, you can. You can also get it from being nervous or highly upset about something. Witch this means it's not something you ate, it's mantal. And if you're so scared or stressed about something that it's giving you diarrhea, the best way to over come this is to just go do it. But if it's a job, I would say just try to have fun in it. Or take up a relaxing hobbie.

Hope this helps!

Gradually start on foods like salted crackers, dry or melba toast, gelatin desserts, mashed or baked potato, white rice, cooked or dry rice cereals, jellied consomme. Later you can add a soft-boiled or poached egg, cooked carrots or peas, a thin slice of white meat chicken or turkey. If diarrhea recurs with loss of appetite or nausea after any of these foods, stop taking food or liquids for four to six hours and gradually go back to clear liquids and foods listed above.

Fruit alone should not cause diarrhea, unless it is contaminated and results in food poisoning.

Acute diarrhea is generally caused by

* infections (e.g. traveler's diarrhea), * food poisoning and * medications. If you have diarrhea it is best to avoid eating fruit, dried fruit, and drinking fruit juice, however, eating bananas and applesauce may actually help control the diarrhea.

The two most common intestinal diseases that afflicted soldiers during the American Civil War were diarrhea and dysentery. Dysentery alone was the cause of more than 95,000 of the 620,000 war deaths during the Civil War.

No. This is only from empirical eveidence, but in western countries such as Australia where there is a shortage of water, it is recommended that you do not rinse dishes in order to save on water, and so most people do not. There is no epidemic of diarrhea there.

Do you mean allergens or pathogens. The two are not synonomous. Allergens are things that a person or life form reacts to in a negative manner. Antihistamines often work well to alleviate these symptoms but if they do not then a visit to a physician is in order and he can treat the symptoms using steroids or prescription strength antihistamines or other meds for more severe cases. Pathogens can cause illness in people and make them sick like as in getting the flu which can result in everything from runny nose, cough, fever, diarrhea etc. The common cold is also caused by pathogens but different in type and severity. A common cold ends faster than the flu (typically) and may present with a mild fever but usually does not. The common cold will have the patient coughing, sneezing perhaps and runny nose. However there are no allergens in the air that produce diarrhea. Now a food allergy may produce diarrhea in a patient for items like dairy allergies etc. but food allergies are not caused by what is referred to as alleregens because the majority of the population can ingest without any allergy. Allergens are items like airborn that will have an impact on more people than not.
