Stay Hydrated
Diarrhea causes the body to lose fluids at a rapid rate, often leading to dehydration. This is especially crucial with diarrhea. In severe cases, oral rehydration therapy may be necessary.
Important Note:
While these tips can be helpful for managing mild diarrhea, it's essential to seek medical attention if:
- You experience unusual effects such as bloody stools or high fever
- You are taking medications, such as chemotherapy
- The diarrhea is accompanied by severe abdominal pain or signs of dehydration.
Your physician may recommend oral medications or other treatment options to help manage your symptoms and aid in your recovery. Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully and report any concerns or side effects you may experience.
How to Prevent Diarrhea
Prevention is better than a cure, and there are some easy cautionary measures that can be taken to ensure diarrhea doesn’t catch you off guard.
Always use a probiotics when taking antibiotics or traveling
A probiotic supplement of high quality can help boost your natural resistance and reduce your susceptibility to diarrhea as a result of medications and/or travel.
Wash your hands regularly… and properly!
Cross contamination of bacteria from surface, to fingers, to mouth is one of the easiest ways to become host to a destructive viral infection.
Maintain a balanced diet and healthy gut
What you eat plays a crucial role in your intestinal ecology and gut health. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains provides essential vitamins and nutrients that support a healthy gut.
Frequently Asked Questions
Diarrhea can stop you in your tracks. You’ve probably got a few questions for us; check out our FAQ.
What is diarrhea?
Diarrhea is the experience of loose, watery stools. These stools can only be classified as such provided you experience them two or more times in one day.
What are the different types of diarrhea?
There are 3 types of diarrhea. Acute Watery Diarrhea is most common, and lasts for several hours or days. Persistent Diarrhea, which can also be referred to as Chronic Diarrhea, lasts a minimum of 14 days or longer. Acute Bloody Diarrhea, also known as dysentery, is the passing of loose, bloody stools. In the event of bloody stool and/or persistent diarrhea, always consult with a doctor or HCP.
Can probiotics counteract the effects of antibiotics?
Besides killing pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics also reduce the good bacteria of the intestinal flora, while probiotics work to restore them.
Why should I take probiotics during or after antibiotic treatment?
Taking a probiotic during antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of diarrhea as a side effect of imbalanced bacterial flora. Taking a probiotic after a course of antibiotics will help restore any good bacteria that was lost during treatment.
