Jan 17,2025

Many people may have a headache when they hear the three words' diarrhea '. Diarrhea is not a serious illness, but it is indeed too torturous. If you have diarrhea at home or in your dormitory when there is nothing to do, it's okay. The biggest fear is getting diarrhea during major exams or meetings. I can't help but feel embarrassed and want to find a hole to go to the bathroom. So what should I do if I have gastroenteritis and diarrhea.

Firstly, it is important to maintain warmth in the abdomen, as some cases of gastroenteritis and diarrhea are caused by not adding clothes in a timely manner during weather changes or not having a thick enough blanket when sleeping at night, which can lead to coldness in the abdomen. So we need to wear clothes that are thick enough, not just thin clothes because wearing too much doesn't look good. Check if your blanket is warm enough and don't move around while sleeping. Cover the blanket tightly. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, carrots, water spinach, cucumbers, apples, kiwis, etc. Vegetables and fruits contain a large amount of vitamins and trace elements, which can provide essential nutrients for the human body and promote growth and development. Vegetables and fruits are also very effective in improving the condition of gastrointestinal diarrhea. Eat more noodles, Congee, steamed stuffed buns and other easily digestible food, because diarrhea will make the stomach very weak, not suitable for eating food that is difficult to digest.

Diarrhea itself can reduce beneficial bacteria in the body. In addition, taking medication or intravenous infusion can kill harmful bacteria while also killing beneficial bacteria. The beneficial bacteria in the body will gradually decrease, which can easily cause an imbalance in the body's microbiota and lead to intestinal dysfunction. Some may also easily experience vicious cycles and recurrent diarrhea. Timely supplementation of beneficial bacteria or the use of Zangling Shusu sugar to provide nutrition for beneficial bacteria can inhibit and eliminate the activity of harmful bacteria and reduce intestinal sensitivity, which can be helpful for diarrhea.
