how to get rid of diarrhea fast - #20709

Fatima

I am dealing with this really annoying situation. Had some takeout last night and now, ugh, I can't stop running to the bathroom. I mean, it's like every 30 minutes! I've tried to eat bland food, like toast and bananas, but nothing seems to be helping. I remember reading about probiotics and some home remedies, but I'm honestly not sure how to get rid of diarrhea fast. My friend said drinking lots of water is key, but like, what about electrolytes? Should I be really worried? It’s been going on for about 12 hours now, and I'm starting to feel drained and a bit dizzy. I can't afford to miss work tomorrow either! I can't help but feel anxious about when it will finally let up. Are there particular over-the-counter meds that are safer or more effective for someone like me? I just want to know how to get rid of diarrhea fast because this is just ruining my day! Anyone have tips or advice that actually worked for them? Also, should I be worried if it doesn’t stop soon? Thanks for any help!
