Literally looking this up because my son came home last week from elementary school with a tummy virus, and I have it now. Trying to stay hydrated, but I think I’m letting out more water than I’m getting in. Kudos everybody else that’s having to deal with this crap lol

Diarrhea causes a stress response and I need to calm down, hydrate, breathe, just let it work its way through the system!

This literally came at an opportune time, as I recover from a horrible bout of d&v. I was away in an hotel, where I asked for flat cola, which I had heard could replace electrolytes. In addition I took sips of water. After 24 hours things were calmed down and I managed to eat stewed peeled unsweetened eating apples. This a remedy I picked up years ago - any good??! Now after 24 hours I feel I can cautiously eat more. I didn’t get raised heartbeat or dry mouth, but I did have headache, which a friend put down to dehydration, but I’m not sure about that? I’m 72, so I was concerned about dehydration. I didn’t know if it was food poisoning or an infection, but thanks to you, I’m thinking it was a virus.

Thank you for this vid of an intelligent discussion on a less talked about yet very common issue

[dawnsvlogsthings]

Sitting on the toilet, and looked this up as soon as it starts hurting diarrhoea makes me wanna cry 😂

[SJ-kysg]

Very good explanation, I have poor diagestion from my childhood, last few months ago I had massive diarrea so my dr continuesly prescribed antibiotic without finding the root cause of diarrea and I also unknowingly take antibiotic continuously that cause overall effect on my gut that on time I had non stop diahrea for whole month so I advise avoid antibiotics after doing some light meals low fatty, protein, fiber foods it got resolved in few days so add more vegitable and high fibre diet for good gut health

At 67, my digestion is better than it was 50 years ago, when I ate standard burgers and fries and other typical (North) American food.

Really interesting but You mentioned Crohns and ulcerative colitis but not microscopic colitis. Please can you cover that. I had 8 weeks of watery diarrhoea 3-4 times or more a day before it was diagnosed and I still really have little idea of how to keep it at bay.. Please help us understand it.
