A bit of a crap subject this - sorry - but I had a bout of diarrhoea yesterday :shocked: that was awful because the last time I had it was about 20 years ago.

It all started around 3am. I was in bed, sleeping (of course) and I suddenly woke with a nasty pain in my stomach. Within minutes I was rushing to the lav and was doing so every 10 minutes after that for the next eight hours.:fist:

I was told it's a condition that could last up to four days. :fist:

So I asked a friend about it. He'd had it and he had found a 'cure'.

I told him it was probably an egg and mayonnaise sandwich that caused it.

But he gave me a list of things to eat and guess what it soon went away. :D

So I ate:

1) Four cheese pasties.

2) One big bar of chocolate.

3) Drank two pints of whole milk.

So, what happened and why did it work? Thanks. :)

Thanks, but I think that would have taken long to work.

Plus what I ate was very nice. ;)

It's actually really quick, I couldn't eat all that stuff, would take me far longer than taking an immodium :laugh: Also, I have a Pasty Phobia

Eating all that cheese isn't good, I agree. :)

Reduce your dairy consumption. Not as healthy as how it's being promoted.

Yeah, very true. :)

My mom always said Bananas were good for Diarrhea, don't know if that's just an old wives tale though :think:

Or it could be, Niamh, that what I ate had nothing to do with the condition going away.

However, I find it interesting that it was 100% better within an hour of eating all that stuff. :)

Coincidence? Perhaps...

It doesn't say it's healthy though, maybe just reducing the symptoms in his case. Drinking Coke can help with nausea, still not healthy.

It says avoid all diary products...on a doctor's advice website.

Just came in to say that lol...

And also.... if you're miles from a spellchecker, you can remember how to spell diarrhoea with this simple mnemonic: dash in a real rush, hurry, or else accident.

You're welcome.

ginger ale or flat cola and dry toast. Also water with a bit of sugar and salt in it.

These and plain rice I've heard are good for your stomach. Last time it happened to me I only ate those 3 things for a couple of days and I was fine.

No, it didn't. It seemed to 'bung' me up. :eek:

As did the chocolate. :eek:

Thanks for the other suggestions, people. :)

Just make sure to drink plenty of water/juice as the runs can dehydrate you!

Bananas are good for it though! Because of the potassium. Also potatos! AVOID milk/dairy...

Thanks, Jonnii, but the milk seemed to do me good.

I must be a lizard. ;)
