Traveler's Diarrhea

Diarrhea is a common problem people all over the world face – and try to avoid. How do you know you have diarrhea and how do you get rid of it? We’re here to answer all your questions about diarrhea symptoms and provide remedies and treatment tips for getting better fast.   <h3>Diarrhea Symptoms </h3>If you have diarrhea, you know it. Diarrhea is characterized by loose, watery stools three or more times in one day, and it can come with a lot of discomfort in the bathroom department. It often occurs when you are sick or if you’ve eaten something that disagrees with your stomach. No one knows your body better than you do, so if you find your “number twos” aren’t what they used to be, then it might be time to take action. There are several ways you can manage your symptoms at home, but please consult a doctor if your diarrhea doesn’t let up in a day or so. <h3>Diarrhea Remedies </h3>To help manage your symptoms, you can turn to some classic diarrhea remedies. Firstly, it’s important to stay hydrated. Your body is expelling a lot of fluids and can easily get dehydrated. So, grab some water and drink up! Drinking electrolytes may also be helpful to keep your body feeling as best as it can (all things considered). Secondly, try sticking to what’s known as the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast. These relatively bland foods are thought to calm the unpleasant party happening in your guts and provide temporary relief. <h3>Diarrhea Treatments </h3>Most of the time, diarrhea will run its course in a few days without intervention. But, we don’t blame you for wanting a more timely solution. While other over-the-counter anti-diarrhea products only treat symptoms, Pepto Diarrhea gets to the source with its dual-action formula that coats your stomach and actually kills the bacteria that causes most cases of diarrhea – so you get diarrhea relief fast.
