How to Get Rid of Diarrhea?

May 14, 2011

Diarrhea is characterized by passing of loose, watery stools at least three times in a day.

The embarrassing affliction makes one wonder how to get rid of Diarrhea fast before it causes further trouble, especially during traveling.

The best way to cure Diarrhea is to have ripe bananas. You will have to avoid fatty foods, even milk until the condition heals.

Rather, you will have to suffice with bland, easily digestible, low fiber foods like plain rice, boiled potatoes, cooked carrots etc.

But, before moving on to explore more natural ways on how to stop Diarrhea, you should first have a little idea about what causes Diarrhea.

Causes and Symptoms of Diarrhea: This ailment is usually caused by infection due to virus, bacteria or parasites leading issues like stomach flu and food poisoning. Contaminated food and water are considered the chief culprits in this regard. Excessive alcohol consumption can also cause the same.

Besides, diseases like Celiac Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Diverticulitis, food intolerance can give rise to Diarrhea as a symptom. Intake of certain medications such as blood pressure medications, antibiotics, cancer medicines, chemotherapy etc may also cause this problem.

Apart from passing of watery stools, symptoms of Diarrhea include problems like mild to moderate stomach pain, slight fever and fatigue.

More often than not, the condition heals within 2-3 days. It is recommended to have sufficient water at regular intervals as frequent watery bowel movements can lead to dehydration.

How to get rid of Diarrhea?

• Banana is an easily digestible fruit that helps control Diarrhea because it is rich in pectin and inulin. Hence, it helps absorb fluids in the intestines and promotes probiotic bacteria that fight off infection in intestines. Banana can also be taken along with a teaspoon of tamarind pulp and a pinch of salt.

Consult a qualified doctor in case the condition is accompanied by blood in stools, severe abdominal pain or if the condition persists for more than 3 days even after adopting measures on how to get rid of Diarrhea.
