Diarrhea for 4 days and counting? Help please!?
It started on Sunday afternoon and is slowly getting better, but I really want to get rid of it fast! I am not sure what caused it.
->Stools started out liquid and frequent to very soft and every 3 hour's.
->Colors are from light yellow brown to very dark brown
->Horrible cramps when I have to go
->Took Pepto Bismol for the first two days, and now taking probably 1 or 2 a day for really bad spells.
I have been eating the BRAT diet with crackers and yogurt for three days now. Ive been thinking of adding some dry cheerios tomorrow. I tried to eat some cereal for lunch, with milk, and found out that was a big mistake.
Going to the doctor is not an option, my mother told me they would just tell me to continue what I am doing now, ugh. If it helps im 18.
Please help, any tips would be greatly appreciated!

The only thing I ever found to help ither than pepto is rice , eat white rice plain or with a little salt and pepper (lemon pepper is pretty good too) a few times a day it help absorb the acids in your stomach you dont have to eat alot if you dint like it just a small serving twice a day should help but more wint hurt . Also try it with veggies if you dint like rice avoid fatty foods first a few days chicken should be fine beef and others may be to greasy though. Hope this helps

Drink 1 to 2 mugs of Hot Salty Chicken Broth with Saltines. It stops my diarrhea in 1 hour...Hope it helps you too.
