Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is a common digestive issue characterised by loose or watery stools, often accompanied by abdominal cramps and dehydration. While the causes of diarrhoea can vary, including viral or bacterial infections, food poisoning, or underlying medical conditions, effective treatments and preventive measures are essential for managing this discomforting condition.

What can cause Diarrhoea?
Diarrhoea can result from infections such as gastroenteritis, consumption of contaminated food or water, certain medications, and underlying health conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

What are the symptoms of Diarrhoea?
Typical symptoms include watery stools, abdominal cramps, nausea, and dehydration.

What treatments are available for Diarrhoea?
  • Hydration:
    Dehydration is a common concern during diarrhoea. Ensure adequate fluid intake with water, electrolyte solutions, or oral rehydration solutions to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes.

  • Dietary Changes:
    Follow a bland diet with easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, fatty, and dairy-rich foods.

  • Over-the-Counter Diarrhoea Medications:
    Antidiarrheal medications like loperamide can help control diarrhoea. However, it's crucial to consult a GP or Pharmacist before using any medication, especially for prolonged or severe cases.

  • Probiotics:
    Probiotics, found in yogurt or supplements, may aid in restoring the balance of gut bacteria and promoting digestive health.
