Plus Causes and Prevention Tips

Treatment to get rid of diarrhea fast can depend on the cause but typically involves taking anti-diarrheal medications or antibiotics. Certain food and drinks may also help you manage your symptoms.

Diarrhea, or watery stools, can be embarrassing and strike at the worst times, such as during a vacation or special event.

But while diarrhea often improves on its own within two to three days, a few remedies can help promote firmer stools faster.

Keep reading to learn about five fast-acting methods, along with what typically causes diarrhea and prevention tips.

Some people see diarrhea as nothing more than a mild nuisance and let it run its course, especially since some bouts lasts less than 24 hours.

You might stay close to home or a bathroom, and load up on fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.

But what if you can’t stay home?

In this case, taking an anti-diarrheal medication may reduce or completely eliminate loose stools after the first dose. Look for over-the-counter products like Imodium or Pepto-Bismol, which have the ingredients loperamide and bismuth subsalicylate, respectively.

The active ingredient in Imodium works swiftly because it slows the movement of fluid through the intestines. This can quickly restore normal bowel function. Pepto-Bismol, on the other hand, helps kill diarrhea-causing bacteria in your intestines.

Rice water is another fast, effective remedy for diarrhea. Boil 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water for about 10 minutes, or until the water becomes cloudy.

Strain the rice and preserve the water for consumption. Rice water not only provides your body with fluid to prevent dehydration, it can also reduce the duration of diarrhea. Rice water has a binding effect in the digestive tract, resulting in firmer, bulkier stools.

Taking a probiotic supplement or eating probiotic foods like some brands of yogurt may also stop diarrhea.

Sometimes, diarrhea results from an imbalance of bacteria in the gut. Probiotics help restore balance by providing a higher level of good bacteria. This can promote normal bowel function and shorten the duration of diarrhea.

Diarrhea from bacteria or a parasite may need an antibiotic. In this case, diarrhea can occur after coming in contact with contaminated food or water, often while traveling.

Keep in mind that antibiotics are ineffective when viral infections cause diarrhea. This type of diarrhea must run its course.

A diet known as BRAT may also quickly relieve diarrhea.

BRAT stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. This diet is effective due to the bland nature of these foods, and the fact that they’re starchy, low-fiber foods.

These foods have a binding effect in the digestive tract to make stools bulkier. And since they’re bland, they’re less likely to irritate your stomach or worsen diarrhea.

Along with these items, you could also eat (similarly bland) saltine crackers, clear broth, and potatoes.

Understanding the cause of diarrhea can help you avoid future bouts. Common causes include:

Stomach virus

Viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu) is one cause of diarrhea. Along with watery stools, you may have:

• stomach pain
• nausea
• vomiting
• low-grade fever

These viruses include norovirus and rotavirus, which can develop after eating or drinking contaminated food, or sharing personal items with an infected person.

Medication

Sensitivity to certain medications can also trigger bouts of diarrhea. This may happen after taking antibiotics, pain relievers, or cancer-fighting drugs.

Foodborne illness

Also called food poisoning, diarrhea can develop if you eat food contaminated by bacteria, parasites, or toxins. Food-borne illnesses can include those caused by the following bacteria:

• Salmonella
• E. coli
• Listeria monocytogenes
• Clostridium botulinum (botulism)

Food allergy or sensitivity

If you’re lactose intolerant, diarrhea may develop after eating dairy products. These include milk, cheese, ice cream, and yogurt.

Having a food allergy or sensitivity may also trigger diarrhea. For example, you may have diarrhea after eating foods containing gluten — wheat, pasta, or rye.

Artificial sweeteners

This is a lesser known cause of diarrhea. But if you’re sensitive to artificial sweeteners, you may have a bout of diarrhea after eating foods or drinks containing these sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners are found in diet drinks, sugar-free products, chewing gum, and even some candy.

Digestive problems

Diarrhea is sometimes a symptom of digestive disorders. You might have frequent bouts of loose stools if you’re diagnosed with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Also, irritable bowel syndrome can cause alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation.

Diarrhea caused by a virus or bacterial infection is contagious. You can protect yourself by:

• washing your hands frequently
• avoiding sick people
• disinfecting commonly touched surfaces
• not sharing personal items

If you have diarrhea after starting a new medication, ask your doctor about an alternative drug or possibly lowering your dosage.

You can also protect yourself by thoroughly cooking food and washing fruits and vegetables before preparing. Also, make sure you know the proper way to wash your hands.

Use warm, soapy water and wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. If water isn’t available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

To identify possible food allergies or sensitivities, keep a food journal and write down everything you eat for a few weeks. Make a note of days that you have diarrhea.

Keeping a food journal can help determine whether you have a lactose intolerance or a gluten sensitivity. You can then try an elimination diet. Remove suspected problem foods from your diet and see if your symptoms improve.

For a digestive disorder, talk to your doctor if you feel that your current therapy isn’t working. You may need to adjust your medication.

See a doctor for diarrhea that lasts longer than three days, or if you show signs of dehydration. This can include extreme thirst, decreased urination, and dizziness.

You should also see a doctor if you have:

• a fever above 102°F (38.9°C)
• bloody or black stools
• abdominal pain

Diarrhea can come and go within 24 hours. Or it can last for days and disrupt your plans. But between medication, low-fiber foods, and avoiding foods that irritate your digestive system — such as dairy or artificial sweeteners — you can quickly relieve symptoms and enjoy diarrhea-free days.

Fact Checked

Diarrhea home remedies that work — chances are you’ve used home remedies at some point: lemon, salt, sugar, pomegranates, mint or lemonade. Maybe your grandma told you about it, or you read it online. The point is you’ve tried it, and perhaps you’re thinking, “Should I try it again?”

It’s not clear what makes home remedies work. Is it physiological, or is it a placebo effect? Thankfully, researchers have shown that some of our home remedies aren’t just old wives’ tales, after all.

5 Effective Home Remedies: How To Stop Diarrhea Fast

(1) Drink Plenty of Fluids

One of the biggest problems of diarrhea is that it causes dehydration. You lose plenty of water and electrolytes from your body needed for everyday functioning. Dehydration can be dangerous, especially in young children.

To manage the loss of water and electrolytes, you need to replace these fluids. Drink plenty of water, lemonade, or ORS.

There are also some foods that you must avoid that have laxative effects: Coffee, caffeinated drinks, sodas, sugary drinks and alcohol. 

Breastfed babies should continue to be breastfed. 

Children should continue to eat a regular diet. They should drink plenty of fluids. It’s better than putting them on a restrictive diet.

(2) Take Probiotics

Sometimes diarrhea is caused by an imbalance of good bacteria in your gut. Taking food rich in probiotics can help restore balance. Some of the typical Indian foods rich in probiotics are

– Yoghurt

– Dhokla

– Kefir

– Idli

– Paneer

– Fermented pickles

(3) Follow the BRAT Diet

BRAT, an acronym for Banana, Rice, Applesauce and Toast, helps get rid of diarrhea. These are effective as they’re starchy and fibre-rich food that helps make your stools bulkier. Additionally, the bland nature of these foods is less likely to irritate your stomach and worsen diarrhea.

(4) Drink Ginger Tea

Ginger is a valuable spice with plenty of anti-bacterial properties. They aid digestion and fight off infections. Drinking ginger tea helps cure diarrhea, reduces stomach pain, and helps fight off cough and cold.

(5) Coriander and Lemon Water

Lemon is a good home remedy for stopping diarrhea. It has anti-inflammatory properties. 

Coriander leaves help cure ailments related to indigestion and stomach pain.

When To See a Doctor

Usually, diarrhea isn’t harmful, and its symptoms clear off in a couple of days. However, there are times when it can be severe. Therefore, knowing when to see a doctor can be detrimental to your well being.

Schedule an appointment with a doctor if

– The diarrhea lasts for more than two days

– You’ve been to the loo more than ten times a day

– You have severe abdominal or rectal pain

– You have a high fever

– Your stools are bloody or black

LOFLATIL®: and diarrhea blown away by the wind

There are probably no people who have not experienced diarrhea at least once in their lives. Diarrhea is not just a malaise, but also a spoiled mood and psychological problems. Most of us, at the mention of diarrhea, remember that its cause is infection (with dysentery, salmonellosis, food poisoning, viral diseases). However, sometimes even experienced doctors forget about other causes of this ailment. Quite often, diarrhea can be alimentary (in case of malnutrition or allergies to certain foods), dyspeptic (in violation of food digestion due to insufficient release of certain enzymes in the small intestine), toxic and drug-induced, neurogenic (in violation of the nervous regulation of intestinal motor activity, for example, arising under the influence of excitement, fear, etc.). The distinction between these causes is necessary, since the approaches to therapy and prognosis for all these diseases are different. However, LOFLATIL 9 will help eliminate such unpleasant and sometimes painful symptoms as diarrhea and flatulence.0010 ® Kusum Helthker PVT. LTD.

DRUGS: 650 CAUSES OF DIARRHEA

Acute diarrhea that develops with the use of drugs is of particular clinical importance. Estimates carried out in the United States showed that drug therapy complications develop in more than 1 million hospitalized patients every year and cause the death of about 180 thousand people (Bates D. W. et al., 1995). The economic cost of drug-related morbidity and mortality is $136–177.4 billion in the United States. per year (Ernst F.R. et al., 2001).

9 0034

Table

Drugs that cause diarrhea (Parfenov A.I., 2006)

Laxatives Antacids containing magnesium salts Antibiotics: clindamycin, lincomycin, ampicillin, cephalosporins Antiarrhythmic drugs: quinidine, propranolol Digitalis Preparations containing potassium salts Sweeteners: sorbitol, mannitol Chenodeoxycholic acid Colestyramine Sulfasalazine Anticoagulants

Diarrhea is one of the most common side effects of medications. The list of possible drugs presented in the table is far from complete. More than 650 drugs are mentioned in the literature, leading to the development of acute diarrhea. It is important to remember that it occurs either immediately after the appointment of the drug, or when the dosage is increased. Although in some cases, diarrhea may develop while taking a constant dose of the drug.

The most common cause of acute diarrhea is the use of antibacterial agents (antibiotic-associated diarrhea). It has been established that it develops in 2–26% of patients. More often, antibiotic-associated diarrhea has an idiopathic, or enigmatic (from the English enigma – riddle) character, arising from incomplete absorption (for example, when taking cefoperazone and cefixime), a direct stimulating effect of some antibiotics on intestinal function (clavulanic acid), and effects on the bacterial flora of the intestine . Idiopathic antibiotic-associated diarrhea is usually mild and resolves when the drug is discontinued or the dose is reduced. A more severe course (with high fever, intoxication, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, leukocytosis, etc.) is inherent in another, less common variant of it – pseudomembranous colitis, which develops as a result of the multiplication of microorganisms Clostridium difficile against the background of the use of certain antibiotics (clindamycin, ampicillin, etc.).

FOOD WARNING

Even schoolchildren know that eating junk food can cause diarrhea. However, quite often diarrhea occurs even from benign foods. There is a special concept for this state. This term – food intolerance – is not a diagnosis, but a concept that includes a whole group of diseases and pathological conditions. All of them are united by the fact that the entry of any unspoiled food product into the human digestive tract causes various pathological manifestations.

The clinical picture of food intolerance is very diverse. Most often, the gastrointestinal tract is affected, which is manifested by dyspeptic disorders (a feeling of fullness, heaviness in the abdomen), flatulence and unstable stools (most often diarrhea). But often lesions are also noted from other organs and systems: skin rashes, headache, exacerbation of allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis and bronchial asthma.

The similarity of clinical manifestations of food intolerance, despite the fact that these are different diseases (food allergy, pseudo-allergy, etc.), is associated with the pathophysiology of the development of these diseases. The final pathophysiological phase in all these conditions is the effect of biologically active substances (histamine, serotonin, etc.) on target tissues, and in this case it does not matter how these active substances appeared in the body: as a result of an immune reaction, toxic damage to cell membranes or come in pure form directly from the product. I would like to note that it is sometimes difficult to establish an accurate diagnosis of food intolerance. Most often, you can find complaints that “I have diarrhea from everything.” There are about 200 manifestations of food intolerance, which can be divided into groups:

1. food allergy,

2. pseudo-allergic reactions to food,

3. reactions associated with the toxic effects of substances contained in products,

4. fermentopathy.

A few decades ago, sweet, spicy, smoked, canned foods were considered junk food. Unfortunately, now this list has been replenished with traditionally considered healthy foods, such as cow’s milk, chicken eggs, and fish. This is due to such a common phenomenon as food allergies. This term refers to allergic reactions to food products. The number of adults with food allergies is about 2-5% of the general population.

Very often pseudo-allergy is hidden under the mask of allergic reactions to food. Pseudo-allergic reactions are mainly associated with the content of biologically active substances in products – histamine, serotonin, tyramine, salicylates. When such products enter the intestines, they are absorbed into the bloodstream with the subsequent development of a clinical picture of food intolerance. As a rule, this is due to insufficient metabolic activity of the liver.

If during food allergy the reaction of the body develops according to the mechanism in which antigen + antibody complexes damage cell membranes with the release of various inflammatory mediators from the latter, then with pseudo-allergic reactions these mediators enter the body with food.

Pseudo-allergic reactions differ from allergic ones:

• lack of pathological immune response of the body, normal levels of specific IgE in blood serum;
• dose-dependent effect – clinical manifestations and severity of pseudo-allergy depend on the amount of food eaten;
• later time of onset of symptoms after ingestion of products.

Foods high in histamine include sauerkraut, smoked sausage, canned tuna and mackerel. A lot of tyramine is found in various cheeses; serotonin – bananas, kiwi, walnuts; salicylates – apples, apricots, grapes, raspberries, curry, strawberries, citrus fruits.

The advantage of pseudo-allergy compared to food allergy is that the patient can take “dangerous” food in small quantities without harm to health.

The third group of food intolerances are reactions caused by the toxic effects of substances contained in foods. These pathological reactions are associated with artificial ingredients contained in food products: preservatives, emulsifiers, dyes and flavorings. These substances can damage the membranes of intestinal epithelial cells and mast cells, followed by the release of active mediators (histamine, serotonin) from them and the development of pathological reactions. All of these substances are also called histamine-releasing substances.

Foods containing histamine-releasing substances include chocolate, strawberries, citrus fruits, tomatoes, shellfish, oysters, coriander, pork, alcohol, nuts, peanuts, fish.

Food intolerances not related to the above causes are common. It can be noted in the absence of enzymes that digest certain nutrients. Many adults complain that milk causes intestinal disorders in them, and they believe that this is due to allergies. However, most often such conditions have nothing to do with allergies, and the symptoms are caused by intolerance to milk sugar, which is contained in the milk of any animals. The disease is associated with low activity in the intestinal cells of the lactase enzyme, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. If there is little lactase, lactose is not broken down and absorbed and, remaining in the large intestine, becomes food for microbes that turn it into lactic acid with the release of a large amount of gases.

LOFLATIL ^® : DOUBLE EFFECT IN FIGHTING DIARRHEA

Finding out the true cause of diarrhea requires patience and close cooperation with the attending physician, who, after examination, will select a diet, adjust medication. And the combination drug LOFLATIL ^® containing loperamide hydrochloride 2 mg and simethicone 125 mg will help to quickly eliminate diarrhea and concomitant flatulence.

Loperamide is currently the most effective antidiarrheal drug, and its effect is due to the inhibition of both the motor component of diarrhea and intestinal secretion. Loperamide belongs to the group of synthetic opiates, but binds only to peripheral opiate receptors, does not have a systemic narcotic effect, and does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier. This is due to the peculiarities of its biotransformation during the first passage through the liver and the absence of active metabolites in the blood. With secretory diarrhea, loperamide is also very effective due to the presence of an antisecretory opiate-like action.

Thus, in acute non-infectious diarrhea of ​​various etiologies (alimentary, drug-induced, etc.), as well as in infectious diarrhea of ​​mild and moderate course, loperamide is today the first-line drug. At the same time, data on the use of loperamide in patients with shigellosis did not confirm the initial opinion about the prolongation of the course of the disease as a result of delayed elimination of pathogens from the intestine. Scientists emphasize that the concept that diarrhea promotes release from infectious agents is reminiscent of the medieval postulate that bloodletting leads to the cleansing of the body of harmful substances (Wingate D. et al. Guidelines for adults on self-medication for the treatment of acute diarrhea , 2001).

Simethicone – the second component of LOFLATIL – has the ability to reduce the surface tension of the shell of gas bubbles in the intestine. In this case, the destruction of the foam occurs, as a result of which free gas is able to be absorbed through the mucous membrane or evacuated along with the intestinal contents. Thus, the action of simethicone is based on a change in the physicochemical properties of gas-containing foam, and not on a physiological effect on the biochemistry of the digestion process.

Simethicone is chemically inert: resistant to oxidizing agents, has oleo-, lipo- and hydrophobic properties (does not dissolve in fats, oils and water). It is insensitive to microorganisms, is not absorbed in the digestive tract, is excreted unchanged and does not interfere with the biochemical processes of digestion. At the same time, due to the effect of defoaming and a decrease in the content of gas in the intestine, it indirectly affects the normalization of cavity and parietal digestion, the absorption of nutrients. Thus, simethicone effectively eliminates flatulence (when it is used, the foaming of gases decreases, their absorption in the intestine improves and their excretion is facilitated), and, as a result, pain in the abdomen is eliminated.

LOFLATIL ^® is used 2 tablets at the first dose and then 1 tablet after each bowel movement. To achieve a clinical effect, 4 tablets per day are usually sufficient. The content of 2 active ingredients in LOFLATIL ^® provides a double effect: loperamide eliminates diarrhea, and simethicone – flatulence, and thanks to a successful combination, the effect of the drug exceeds the effect of each component separately. o

For example, it can be used as an agent in the treatment of gastritis and stomach ulcers. “Enterosgel” forms a protective film on the surface of the gastric mucosa, preventing its contact with acids and other irritants. In addition, the drug reduces the level of hydrogen chloride in the stomach, which has a beneficial effect on the treatment of peptic ulcer.

Also “Enterosgel” can be used for colitis and other diseases of the large intestine. The drug binds toxins and harmful substances secreted by bacteria in the intestines and removes them from the body. This helps reduce the inflammation and tenderness that often accompanies these conditions.

However, when using Enterosgel for the treatment of other gastrointestinal diseases, you must follow the instructions and consult your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose as this may worsen the condition.
