What to do when you have loose motion? - #11880
I am trying to figure out what to do when you have loose motion because I've been dealing with this for almost a week now. It started on a Saturday after I tried out this new restaurant that had a weird smell but I thought, "Hey, I can handle it!" Well, I definitely couldn't. First, I just felt a little uneasy, then boom — the next day was a disaster! I had running to the bathroom constantly, like every hour! I thought it might just be a bug or food poisoning, but when the loose motion didn't go away, I began to worry. I tried some over-the-counter meds, but it didn't seem to help much. Even drinking just water is making me feel kinda queasy. I did manage to eat some plain rice and bananas which I heard might help, but still no real relief. My friend told me to hydrate more, but honestly, I’m not drinking like, enough — guess I’m scared it’ll make it worse? What to do when you have loose motion? Any home remedies or advice would be great! Really trying to avoid another trip to the doc, but if I need to go I will. What should I look out for? Are there signs that I shouldn't ignore? Thanks in advance!
