How do you get rid of diarrhea and gas?

Answer by  Ginakeys (178)

Eat a well-balanced, high-fiber diet. For occasional diarrhea, one could take Immodium. Gas can be relieved with "Bean-O" (anal gas) and "Gas-X" (stomach gas). Recurrent and persistent problems warrant a doctor visit for physical examination and discussion of symptoms, consideration of dietary modifications, and consideration of irritable bowel symptoms (as well as other methods of controlling symptoms).

You should first consult a doctor, especially if these symptoms represent a change in bowel habits that has lasted longer than two weeks. If this is of sudden onset, start with a diet of bananas, rice, applesauce, and tea. If the diarrhea is controlled, the gas may subside.

There is many over the counter remedies for this annoyance. The rule used to be for normal healthy people to not treat the symptoms for 24 hours unless there is a danger of dehydration. This allows your body to expell whatever is making you sick.
