1. Ride it out. If you're not very young or old suffering from any chronic illness, it may be safe just to put up with it for a couple of days.
2. Keep hydrated. Make sure you maintain your fluid and electrolyte balance. You can lose a lot of liquid in diarrhea, but you also lose electrolytes, which are minerals like sodium and potassium, that are critical in the running of your body. Here's how to replace what you're losing.

- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Buy over the counter electrolyte replacement formula. Pedialyte, rehydralyte, and ricelyte are available.
3. Keep your liquids cool but not ice cold. Whatever you choose to drink, keep it cool. It will be less irritating that way. Sip, don't guzzle; it will be easier on your insides.
4. Sip some chicken broth. Or any broth. But have it lukewarm, not hot, and add some salt.
5. Rest in Bed. Give your body a chance to fight the bug that's causing this.
6. Put a heating pad on your belly. It will relieve abdominal cramps.
7. Try yogurt. You'll want to make sure you get a product that contains live lacetobacillus, which are friendly bugs that normally live in the GUT.
8. Eat light. Soups and gelatin may go down easy. Bland foods like rice, noodles, and bananas. Potatoes, toast, cooked carrots, soda, crackers, and skinless, defatted chicken are also easy on the digestive system.
9. Take the pink stuff. Stopping the diarrhea with an over-the-counter medication may not be the best thing for your body. Diarrhea probably reflects your body's attempt to get rid of a troublesome bug.
11. Take Kaopectate or Imodium A-D. Again, you're probably better off going without antidiarrheal medications. If you absolutely need some relief, however, you can try of these over-the-counter medications.
12. Don't do dairy. Avoid milk or other dairy products like cheese during the time you're having diarrhea as well as for one to three weeks afterward.
13. Cut out caffeine. Just as it stimulates your nervous system, caffeine jump-starts your intestines. And that's the last thing you need to do in diarrhea.
14. Say no to sweet treats. High concentrations of sugar can increase diarrhea. The sugarin fruit can do the same.
15. Steer clear of greasy or high-fiber foods. These are harder for your gut to handle right now. It needs foods that are kinder and gentler.
