Have you ever rushed to the toilet due to unhealthy bowel movements??

Diarrhoea is a very common issue that many of us would have had in our lives. It could be due to bacteria in contaminated food/water or medicines or diarrhoea could be due to flu, norovirus etc also. Those persons with diarrhoea would show various symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, vomiting, fever etc. Diarrhoea in children might last for 5 to 7 days whereas in adults diarrhoea might last for 2 to 4 days.

If you are suffering from diarrhoea, then your body would lose salt, fluids etc. This would lead to further issues like low BP, low blood sugar levels etc. It must be noted that due to diarrhoea and loss of fluids we would be dehydrated. When you have diarrhoea then it is important to eat those foods that are easy to prepare, and digest etc. When a person has diarrhoea issues then he or she must make sure to provide their body with fluids. The person with diarrhoea must eat those foods that could compensate for the loss of salt.
