How to stop diahrrea?

Answer by  malone (4817)

It's important to know the cause of the diarrhea before it can be treated. Diarrhea is a symptom of a larger issue. Could viral, IBS, diverticulitis, temporary digestive upset, dysentery, parasites, etc. If it lasts more than a day, or if there are other symptoms, see a physician.

Diarrhea isn't really a problem you should try to stop if it doesn't last long. The only possible complication is that you get dehydrated, so drink lots of fluids and eat lots of fiber. If it does last more than a few days, a doctor could prescribe loperamide, and try and determine the cause of the diarrhea.

Try bismuth subsalicylate (used in Pepto-bismol) and kaolin (used in Kaopectate). This will not cure the infection but will slow the symptoms.
