Whether caused by contaminated food or infection, diarrhea is an unpleasant and unwanted abnormality. In most cases it is not serious. Let's see how to react when touched by this troublesome disorder.
First, diarrhea is a symptom, not a disease. It is characterized by the acceleration of the intestinal transit manifested by the frequent passage of soft stools.
There are several causes of diarrhea, including contaminated food, incomplete digestion of food, parasites, bacterial infections, certain medications (such as anti-heartburn, antibiotics and joint anti-inflammatory drugs) . If diarrhea persists for more than 2 to 3 days and especially if accompanied by a fever, consult a doctor. If diarrhea persists for only a few days, self-medication can be applied. Let's see how to fight diarrhea.
Do not eat
Avoid eating the first day of diarrhea, rather fasting so that the parasites can evacuate from the body. To supplement the nutrients and minerals it is recommended to consume homemade vegetable soup without spices.
Permanent rehydration
During diarrhea it is imperative to drink enough water! Diarrhea literally and rapidly empties the body and it does not spare mineral substances and water, which can lead to dangerous dehydration. Prefer non-carbonated mineral water, diluted fruit juice and herbal teas. The herbal tea of thyme, chamomile and peppermint calm the irritated mucous membranes. Avoid sugary and soft drinks.
Special diet
On the second day you can start eating solid foods. The principle is to consume food that is digestible and low in fiber. Reindeer, oatmeal, potato salted are the most suitable food for an exhausted stomach. Among the fruits, prefer banana and apple, which have excellent intestinal cleansing effects.
