  • How to treat diarrhea? Diarrhea is a common symptom that many people experience due to a many causes. Diarrhea is typically defined as an increase in the frequency of bowel movements and liquidity. In this video, I talk about management and treatment of diarrhea with over the counter medications. I talk about the importance of oral rehydration and recommend the use of Pedialyte. In addition I talk about the use of Pepto Bismol and Imodium (loperamide) and their use and mechanism of action in treating diarrhea.
    I hope you guys enjoyed watching my video!

    Hey I’m buying some today. Got exposed to food poisoning Monday. The next day it was bad. I went to the bathroom 6-8 times. The day after that I couldn’t use the bathroom. Thursday I was able to use the bathroom and it was a lot of build up from the previous day. Thursday I had fasted and was completely fine. After the 24hrd I ate a turkey sandwich. I was a able to use the bathroom. I still had Diarrhea but not as bad as the other days.

      would advise against taking this stuff if you have a stomach virus /food poisoning, another doctor warns can just prolong the symptoms and make you sicker as I found out, its better to let it take its own course so gets out of your system faster...

    Rice water has helped me more than anything so far. It usually helps me for about 6 hours. 1 cup rice ~put in pan with no water ~ let it lightly brown. Then add 2 cups water and let it cook for 20 minutes. Don't let the water boil out of it. Add water if you need to. After 20 minutes strain the rice and drink the rice water. It is not too bad tasting but really helped me with the diarrhea. Let it cool a little before drinking. Drink it when you feel like you need it. Hope this helps somebody. Also take Florstor probiotics. If you have diarrhea because of antibiotics go see a gastroenterologist. They can do test and give you medication that will help stop the diarrhea.

      Always use a probiotic. Antibiotics ruin things regarding all that and you need to repair it with antibiotics, which anyone should take regularly anyway.

    If the Imodium doesn’t work it can be followed up by pepto bismal. And eating plain toast, saltines, applesauce, bananas, rice (not necessary to eat all), will help a lot. Look up “BRAT” diet, that’s what it is.
