i have diarrhea for 5 days now multiple times like over 15 times a day what should i do now its obvisouisly burning. this started wednesday with a fever i threw up once however it was a tiny bit and have had diarrhea since. several times a day (like 10 + times). a dr. i saw said not to take anything just drink gatoraide clear liquids and eat bland. i've missed 4 days of work and have to go back tomorrow is there a way of slowing the diarrhea down? . so i can work? . please thank you for your time
try the brat diet if you have not already. it's strictly banana rice apple sauce (not sweetened) and toast (dry). do not cheat while on the brat diet. not even a bite. and only drink water. eat this way until you have solid bowel movements for a day. then reintroduce bland foods. the bland meal i always have to follow up is plain chicken breast yam and rice. if the stool gets loose again go back to the brat for another day or two. i used this remedy with my children whenever they had diarrhea and it worked like a charm.
