To help with diarrhea, you can consider the following remedies:
- Hydration : Drink plenty of fluids, including water, broths, and electrolyte replacement drinks like Pedialyte
- Probiotics : Probiotic supplements or foods like yogurt can help restore the balance of bacteria in your gut
- Bland diet : Gradually introduce bland, low-fiber foods such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet)
- Over-the-counter drugs : In some cases, over-the-counter medications like loperamide (Imodium) or bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) can help manage symptoms, but they don't treat the underlying cause
It's important to avoid certain foods and beverages that can worsen diarrhea, such as dairy products, fatty foods, high-fiber foods, and caffeine
. If diarrhea persists for more than a few days or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's advisable to seek medical attention
