What Causes Diarrhea?
Diarrhea is one of the body’s response to intestinal imbalance, which may have been brought about due to any of these common triggers.
Viruses & Bacteria
When infectious organisms enter the body, they wreck havoc on our internal systems, particularly the gut.
Medicines & Antibiotics
Medications kill off some bacteria that can cause others to multiply. This imbalance brings diarrhea as a side effect.
Travel & Diet
Travel typically brings stress and change in diet. Pathogenic bacteria and parasites can enter the body through unfamiliar food, water and surfaces.
How to Recognize Diarrhea
What to expect during an unpleasant spell of diarrhea? You may experience an onset of any of the following symptoms.
Loose, Watery Stools
Frequent thin stools that have an urgency to them are a sure sign that one may be suffering from diarrhea.
Abdominal Pain
Stomach discomfort is likely when experiencing bowel disorder, diarrhea as the gut tends to bloat or cramp.
Fever & Dizziness
Fever is a common symptom of diarrhea, and one may simultaneously feel lightheaded or slightly delirious.
Diarrhea: Tips & Remedies
Diarrhea can bring your routine to a standstill and leave you feeling out of control. Here are three tips to help bring things back into balance, fast!
Keep it Simple
Bland, low-fiber foods can accelerate stool hardening. A simple diet of bananas, rice, apples and plain toast is recommended when suffering from diarrhea.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Consume all foods and beverages at room temperature. Extreme heat and cold can promote nausea, making the diarrhea experience even more unpleasant.
Stay Hydrated
Diarrhea causes the body to lose fluids at a rapid rate, often leading to dehydration. In severe cases, oral rehydration therapy may be necessary.
How to Prevent Diarrhea
Prevention is better than a cure, and some easy cautionary measures can be taken to ensure diarrhea doesn’t catch you off guard.
