A) Cure for ACUTE Diarrhea

Cure for Acute Diarrhea in ADULTS

Acute diarrhea in most cases stops on its own in few days. If there’s no fever or other debilitating symptom, the person can continue with regular activities but should avoid any strain.

Fluid Replacement

An adult with a mild diarrhea can drink plain water or tea, a cup (250 ml) at the time, and repeatedly through the day to maintain more than 200 ml of translucent or bright yelow morning urine and more than 500 ml of daily urine. In severe diarrhea, drinks with sugar and salt, like Gatorade or Rehydralyte, are recommended since they provide faster rehydration. Combination of diluted fruit juice (1:1) with salt crackers or salt broth is also appropriate. Drinks to avoid: alcohol, caffeinated and carbonated drinks, and in prolonged diarrhea also milk; they may all aggravate diarrhea. Treatment of dehydration.

Diarrhea Diet

There’s no reason to change the diet during the acute diarrhea. It’s good to avoid very fatty, sugary or spicy food, though.
