diarrhea remedies - #19189

Rhea

I am dealing with some pretty awful diarrhea lately, and it's stressing me out! It started out of nowhere about a week ago. One minute I was fine, and the next I was running to the bathroom like every hour. I tried to eat bland foods, you know, like rice and bananas, hoping that would help, but no luck. I really don’t want to take any medications unless I have to, but online searches take me down this rabbit hole of all these diarrhea remedies. I came across ginger tea, probiotics, and even some weird home remedies using apple cider vinegar, but then I wonder if any of these diarrhea remedies even work. I noticed that the diarrhea gets a little worse after I eat, especially if it’s something greasy. I’ve not seen any blood or anything like that, but it’s just exhausting. Like I'm too scared to go out because I might need a restroom ASAP. Honestly, I’m curious if there are any safe, natural diarrhea remedies that could help me, or if I should just head to the docs? Would appreciate anyone’s take on this, especially if you've had success with certain diarrhea remedies! Thanks in advance!
