I have diarrhoea. My tummy started feeling funny yesterday, and then early this morning it all broke loose. Anyway, I’m going with the theory that I’ve got some mild food poisoning. Question is, what can I do to stop it? I’m drinking warm water, as suggested by my mum, but I’m also getting tummy cramps now, nothing too severe but strong enough for me to pop pain killers.
Is there anything I can eat to stop this?

You don't want to stop the diarrhea because your body is trying to get rid of something bad.
Your Mom is right about staying hydrated.

Lay off the pain killers. They're murder on a bad tummy and can make things worse.
Chamomile and mint herbal tea (not the kind that has black/caffeinated tea in it). You can add honey if you want. Those will re-hydrate you, relax your cramps, but still allow your body to let go.

If you have painful diarrhoea or you notice any blood in the stool you should see your doctor.
Some kinds of food poisoning can damage your kidneys and liver to the point of causing death so you really need to get this professionally assessed.
