Dealin’ with Diarrhea…doin’ it real!

If you think Diarrhea is nothing to bother and nothing but a symptom or sign, you are WAY wrong…it can…no wrong it WILL fuck you up if it will last LONG and it is dangerous…but no tears and fears - It can be handled without beeing a physician.
Why do I write this article?
First of all, I’m an official victim of Diarrhea…I catch it up at least once a year since I work with infectious patients OR I was getting fucked by a homojock Kebap - Maker - Idiot with lack of hygiene in his meatshed.
I also hear a lot of childish - half knowledge - cowfarm alike - rumors about dealing with Diarrhea…even in the internet on professional webpages which give actual medical ADVICES to people without any medical backround.
I spare you the routine disclaimer, I mean why should I point out that you should catch up professional medical advice and that this isn’t something you should transfer 100% to your case of bad luck? Thats common sense and even medical disclaimers won’t let this show up in front of the idiots that got and will get killed becaused they tried to cure SEVERE illnesses just by wikipedia (nothing AGAINST wikipedia, I absolutely HATE Wikipedia-Credibility-Bashing - It’s just about the stupid shitbags putting medical advice into practice without load up their brains from a hybernating status.)
If some of my former or future employers will read this, see it as a part of small nursing science research shit. I mean I’m not the new Nancy Roper, but hands down I know something about Diarrhea. It’s still an advance if some of my employers is smart enough to understand the language I tend to write in, but no offense!
No make anything clear, I’m speaking about a short !(1 day to 4, maybe 5 days depending on your system) diarrhea which is probably from eating something bad or having an infection in your intenstines. Now comes the bad part which is part of my job: Take a look at the diarrhea if it’s anything than fluid shit or something inside (slime, blood, something you might not really identify as old food) this mess must be reviewed by a physician!!!
Also I’m just speaking about diarrhea alone. They are common symptoms like nausea, general sick-feeling (like you have a flu) vomiting, light general stomach-pain and sometimes high temperature. If they are symptoms present which can’t be related to the diarrhea itself or the effects of this –> Physician
THE PRACTICAL PART FOR HELPING YOURSELF STARTS HERE
What causes diarrhea ?
For the average diarrhea it really doesn’t matter which bacteria or which virus exclusevely infected your intestines. It doesn’t matter!
Does antibiotics help in case of diarrhea ?
I see some physicians prescribing masses of antibiotics against diarrhea, but the guidelines do not see the clinical outcome in this step. This might be a point of discussion for medical experts, but I see it rarely and in case I see it - never helped. Period.
What is the best medication against diarrhea?
Loperamide
I would personally not recommend loperamid in case of in infectious diarrhea…only in cases where you need to buy some time to get yourself in a calm position to heal, but loperamide and any other stuff like this will lower your peristaltic - bowel - movement of and you might give the possible virus or bacteria the best place to establish himself in your system. 37°Celsius - No bowel movement - Wet and dark condition PERFECT for developing of bacterias and viruses. This means the medication loperamide will actually make your diarrhea last LONGER.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Yeast) is something very nature and it hasn’t got many side effects, no relevant to me I think. It will re-establish the intenstinal flora in your colon and it will fight the bacteria. It helped me very often and also you can take this as a PRECAUTION a week before a flight to turkey or egypt OR you know that you’ve eaten something from the east that tasted not very good. Take it, it won’t bother you that much except some well…sounds and flavor.
This is basicly the BASIC medical treatment of diarrhea, if you are not interested in the whole understanding part you start here.
This is my flowchart like “MGS RADAR Diarrhea Treatment Scheme”
CAUTION: Brain must be used by application!
- If you have the first Diarrhea like stool and no other symptoms that may lead to a serious shit (take the word!) LIKE stomach mumbling or a “different” feeling in the guts, you start preparing but you should not call the cavalry ! One time can happen!
- If you got some strange feeling that this might last longer OR you have the second occur of diarrhea take exactly ONE pill of loperamide + 2 - 3 pills of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Perenterol etc.)
- In the first two days take 2 pills of Saccharomyces cerevisiae three times a day after the third day and if the symptoms are weakened take one tablet three times a day until you got exactly one week after the first occur of diarrhea
- Go to the local supermarket and buy:
- Three bottles of Powerade or similar like Isostar (without bubbles, with sugar and with electrolytes, they need to be isotonic!!! NO ENERGY DRINKS!) The Powerade is the base of your re-hydration it works very fast and very well to my experience
- Lots of salty stuff like Potato Chips, something that you really like
- Buy lots of water without carbonide and with some taste in it, so that you can consume masses of water. - You go home and consume the bottles of powerade in a row, after that you need to drink at least 2 liters of water, if you are able to do more drink like a moron!
- Eat the salty stuff whenever you feel like it
- The keypoint behind this is, if you are hydrated very well the side symptoms like weakness should be lowered to a point on which you can keep alive daily tasks, but KEEP A LOW PROFILE . You gotta imagine your body has a large wound and it may lose MUCH fluid.
- You should keep hydrated like this at least for a week
- Now comes the part which many people don’t aggree with, THERE IS NO REASON TO STOP EATING NORMAL FOOD. You can eat a light version of your normal stuff, but if you feel very good there is NO REASON to stop eating.
- Avoid food like: Whitebread, ANY FASTFOOD, eating outside, very sweet things, FAT FOOD, Salad, EGG
- food to like: Fruits in general, Carrottes, Apples, BANANAS, Potatoes
- Don’t drink alcohol, it’s a rollercoaster for your digestive system
- Use common sense!!
Be safe!
