The viruses and bacteria that can cause diarrhea are highly contagious and can spread easily from person to person. The viruses that cause diarrhea are often found in the stool or vomit of infected people. Transmission can occur in one of several ways, such as:
ReplyDeleteEating foods or drinking liquids that are contaminated with a diarrhea virus or bacteria Having direct contact with another person who is infected and showing symptoms (for example, when caring for someone with the illness, or sharing food or eating utensils with someone who is ill) Touching surfaces or objects contaminated with a diarrhea virus and putting your hands in your mouth.People can spread diarrhea both before and after they become sick with it. They can sometimes pass a virus that causes diarrhea to other members of the family and to close contacts.
Although water is extremely important in preventing dehydration, it does not contain electrolytes. Good choices to help maintain electrolyte levels include broth or soups (which contain sodium) and certain fruit juices, soft fruits, or vegetables (which contain potassium).
ReplyDeleteCarrot soup is another effective home remedy for diarrhea. It supplies water to combat dehydration; replenishes sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, and magnesium; supplies pectin; and coats the intestine to allay inflammation. It also checks the growth of harmful intestinal bacteria and prevents vomiting. Half a kilogram of carrots may be cooked in 150 ml of water until they become soft. The pulp should be strained and enough boiled water added to it to make a liter. Three-quarters of a tablespoon of salt may be added. This soup should be given in small amounts to the patient every half an hour

ReplyDeleteBoiled rice water: just boil like e.g. 1 cup of rice in 2 liters of clean water and drink the water warm or cold.

Eat only :
raw grated carots, UNripe bananas,
peeled-seeded and sliced oxydated appels (left out to turn a darker colour for about 10 to 15 minutes),
plain ham, plain homemade appel sauce without sugar,
DO NOT eat or drink any kind of fatty/greasy foods such as dairy products, oils, butter and no flour, no sugar as some of these foods ferment in the digestive system.
If you stick seriously to this diet, you should be OK after 1 or 2 days. You can then eat some low fat/skimmed yoghourt to "feed" your intestinal flora as it is called.
Maybe you could also check with your doctor to see if there are some specific foods you should eat while taking this specific antibiotic to avoid this situation.
I am sure this diet also works wonders when having diarrhea due to taking antibiotics.
I wish you all the best and quick results.

ReplyDeleteCan diarrhea cause dehydration.?
ReplyDeleteYes it can. Make sure that you are drinking lots of water. Even if it comes out one end or the other you will still get the benefit try something like (as crazy as it sounds) pedialite as this will help keep a balance of sugar and electrolytes if its good enough for kids its good enough for us. Also being dehydrated can cause headache and nausea but so can a stomach bug. Just take it easy for awhile. Most Doctors do not recommend taking anything to stop diarrhea as it can cause whatever bacteria is there not to be passed and so it can come back. Hope this helps and that you feel better soon.
