What to do for diarrhea

[GoldenBear]

I'm serious here..I think I had some bad chicken today.

I just ate a banana, which has helped with stomachaches in the past, but what else can I do now?

I must go er..watch TV.

I'm going to go off on a semi-long drive tomorrow, and I don't want to pull over at ever pitstop! Help is needED!

 

[AlphaIVT]

drink lots of fruit juice.

j/k, don't.

Aren't you the doctor?

 

[hzl eyed grl]

Eat cheese. Take Pepto Bismol or Immodium AD or Kaopectate (SP?). Oh, and don't bend over too fast. :Q

 

[Spoooon]

Just let it pass.

Seriously, just spend some money on kaopectate or something.

 

[yakko]

Put a cork in it.

<< Put a cork in it. >>


LOL!! yakko, hon, warn me next time. I was eating crackers and I happened to spit some out on my monitor.

Red, hmmm...nope it doesn't sound familiar. Please go on.

EDIT: Red are you trying to confuse me? I click on reply and your avitar changed. :Q

Immodium AD.

 

[PistachioByAzul]

Pepto Bismal...sometimes I think that stuff is the exilir of life.

 

[Dedpuhl]

Immodium AD is the best stuff...

 

[weirdone]

<Homer Simpson voice> Mmmmmm... peptooo....

 

[prodigy]

ALL YOUR BUNGHOLES ARE BELONG TO US

 

[Johnnie]

Immodium AD... best stuff

 

[PakG1]

<Homer Simpson voice> Mmmmmm... peptooo....

I have to admit I do think the stuff tastes good. Not something I'd wanna have every day tho, just, u know, that kind of good.

 

[NetworkDad]

immodium ad...best stuff

 

[Emulex]

tampax? depends?

one of those should stop/hold the flow.

 

[BlueScreenVW]

50 g of carbon will likely help too, like Carbomix. But it needs to be that much - eating just a 2 g pill or so wont do you any good...

GoldenBear:

&quot;My doctor says . . . Gatorade and yoghurt.&quot;

Seriously.

Apparently, the yoghurt restores the balance of bacteria in the digestive tract; while the Gatorade replaces fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.

I called his office with a &quot;stomach virus&quot; during a time when just about everyone I knew had varying degrees of &quot;the flu&quot;. Aside from being swamped with &quot;emergency&quot; appointments, he also knew that I was in bad financial circumstances.

He said to try that for 24 hours, and let him know the results - It worked then (within 8 hours), and always has for me since. I know some people don't care for yoghurt, but I've always liked it . . .

You have no chance to survive

make your time

 

[Jal]

Lots of rice

 

[Azraele]

Eat some rice and apple slices. I heard that always helps.

 

[ltk007]

immodium ad never fails

 

[sharkeeper]

Make sure you have an unobstructed path to the toilet, plenty of toilet paper and good plumbing!

Cheers!

ROTFL - you know, that really does apply!

Seriously, all of these suggestions will help (haven't personally tried the cork/monkey combo). Make sure you replenish your electrolytes (either Gatorade or any of the Pedialyte formulas work) then start taking Immodium or Pepto. Immodium always works for me, and it's pretty fast.

Make sure you take a couple of rolls of TP along on your road trip, you never know when you might need to suddenly pull over.
