I need serious help QUICK!?

Question

Answer 1

make sure you drink a lot of water (diarrhea gets rid of a lot of liquids and if you don't drink a lot of water you'll die of dehydration)
also eat less fruits and vegetables and more beans.

Answer 2

If you can do any of these things, it would be helpful:
Treatment
Diet

Treatment is ideally directed toward correcting the cause; however, the first aim is to prevent or treat dehydration and nutritional deficiencies. When possible, food intake should be continued even in patients with acute diarrhea. A physician should be consulted as to what type and how much food is permitted. Low-fat diets or more easily digestible fat is useful in some patients. The BRAT diet, which limits food intake to rice, applesauce, and toast, can help to resolve diarrhea. These foods provide soluble and insoluble fiber without irritation. If the toast is slightly burnt, the charcoal can help sequester toxins and pull them from the body.

The patient should drink plenty of fluids, however, in severe cases hospitalization to provide intravenous fluids may be necessary. A physician should be notified if the patient is dehydrated, and if oral replacement is suggested then commercial (Pedialyte and others) or homemade preparations can be used. The World Health Organization (WHO) has provided this easy recipe for home preparation, which can be taken in frequent small sips:

* table salt: 3/4 teaspoon
* baking powder: 1 teaspoon
* orange juice: 1 cup
* water: 1 quart or liter

Supplements

Nutrient replacement also plays a role in preventing and treating diarrhea. Zinc especially appears to have an effect on the immune system, and deficiency of this mineral can lead to chronic diarrhea. Also, zinc replacement improves growth in young patients.

Dietary supplements that are generally beneficial in the treatment of digestive disorders include:

* vitamin C: 50-500 mg daily
* vitamin B6: 50-150 mg daily
* magnesium aspartate: 400 mg daily
* vitamin E: 400 IU daily
* glutamine: 3,000 mg daily
* garlic, deodorized: 2,000 mg daily
* deghycirrhizinated licorice: chew as needed

Probiotics

Probiotics refers to treatment with beneficial microbes either by ingestion or through a suppository. Studies and the clinical use of probiotics have shown their utility in the resolution of diarrhea, especially antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Beneficial microbes include the bacteria Lacto-bacillus acidophilus and L. bifidus and the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii. To treat diarrhea, the patient can eat one cup of yogurt (containing active Lactobacillus acidophilus cultures) daily. Alternatively, one or two acidophilus capsules may be taken at each meal or at bedtime.

Answer 3

Strong, black tea (pour boiling water on the tea bag and let it steep for 5 minutes. no sugar, no milk) Also some day old buns made from unprocessed flour, as much, of the natural goodness as you can get. If the buns are not available, then just the tea. It doesn't work fast but unless you have dysentery or food poisoning it will do the job. Take a book to the 'throne room' and sit it out.

Answer 4

Buy the softest toliet paper you can find, next drink alot of water so you wont loose all you nutrients, then find the best magazine, a book also works well, plug the TV in the bathroom, and the phone. Get some pepto, or eat bread, and water. No dairy products, or alcohol. Also try crackers, and a hot sprite. You'll thank me in the morning. Good Luck, and push

Answer 5

If your that sick, then you should see a doctor. It may be tempting to take something to stop it, but that's not always a good idea. If nothing elts call the 1-800-ontario health #. You will speak to a nurse and she should be able to point you in the right direction as what to do. Good luck and hope you feel better!!!!!! Take care!!!!

Answer 6

Sounds like a stomach flu. If you cannot drink or eat anything, that becomes serious. Go to the hospital if it continues.

Answer 9

Sounds like a tummy bug or tummy flu... drink plenty of water to flush it out. See your doctor if yo're really worried.

If it persists then you should go see a doctor. Make sure that you drink lots of water to avoid dehydration!
