precautions for loose motion - #17808
I am trying to figure out what precautions for loose motion I should be taking after my recent experience. Last week, I had a really bad bout of diarrhea, and it was awful. One minute I was fine, and then outta nowhere, I was just running to the bathroom constantly—like, no joke, I think I went like ten times in a day! I felt super weak and had this nasty stomach cramping that just wouldn’t quit. When I went to the doc, he mentioned something about being careful with what I eat and stay hydrated, but he didn't go into much detail about specific precautions for loose motion. I’ve read a bunch of stuff online, but there seems to be mixed advice. Like, some say to avoid dairy and oily foods, but others say eating bland stuff is best. I tried plain rice and toast, but honestly, I’m like, what else can I eat? And my family keeps offering me all these heavy meals, which makes me anxious about triggering it again. Plus, how long should I keep these precautions for loose motion up? Just until I feel better, or for a few more days? I’m worrying if I’m doing the right things or if I’ll just end up in the same boat again. Would love any solid advice on what precautions for loose motion really matter!
