How To Treat Diarrhea?
just under a year ago i woke up one night and rushed to the toilet and had diorrea and almost instantly i had to get off because i thought i was going to be sick, then i just remember waking up and being very shaken and scared. My mother says i fainted and convulsed and wet myself before i went completely limp and she didnt think she could feel a heartbeat but then i came round. Im 19 and healthy.

Hi there,
The best treatment for diarrhea is to eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables and fiber. I would limit the amount of red meat you eat. If you still have diarrhea, you can a medication known as immodium, which helps slows down diarrhea and can be bought over the counter.
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
