 Understanding
of diarrhea
Diarrhea is a condition that is
characterized by dilute feces that
are released with the frequency of
defecation which is more often
compared to the usual.

In general, diarrhea results from

consumption of food or drinks
contaminated with bacteria,
viruses, or parasites. Usually
diarrhea only lasts a few days, but
in some cases extends for weeks.
Diarrhea symptoms
Some symptoms of diarrheal disease can be directly felt by patients. Among these
symptoms is :

Continuous bowel movements

accompanied by a feeling of prolonged
heartburn

No appetite

Hot

Experiencing
dehydration

Stiffness in the back and abdomen often

sounds
How to cope with
diarrhea
Drink ORS or can make it yourself by dissolving 1
teaspoon of salt and 8 teaspoons of sugar in 1
liter of boiled water

Keep it from being dehydrated with balanced

electrolytes

Try to eat more often but with fewer servings

Maintain cleanliness and isolation. Body hygiene

is a major factor in limiting the causes of disease
Good food

Apple
Tea
Bread
Jelly and yogurt
Rebuilt potatoes
 Avoid the following foods when
diarrhea
Fatty food

Milk, butter, ice cream and cheese. Even if diarrhea is not

caused by lactose intolerance (difficulty processing lactose
sugar, which is found in dairy products), avoiding these foods
during diarrhea is still ongoing. Probiotics in yogurt may be
an exception to this rule.

Alcoholic drinks and caffeine. Diarrhea people, must avoid

food and beverages that cause discharge (loss) of fluids.
Alcohol and caffeine can act as a diuretic (removing body
fluids), which means it will cause or worsen dehydration
Avoid the following
foods when diarrhea
Sorbitol and other artificial sweeteners. Some people find that artificial
sweeteners have a laxative effect on the digestive system. If you are diarrhea,
avoid sweets and chewing gum, soft drink diets, and artificial sweetener-rich
foods.

Food that causes excessive gas. It is very important to eat lots of fruits and
vegetables every day. However, when, diarrhea occurs, we must avoid food
choices that tend to increase intestinal gas, such as cabbage, beans, broccoli
and cauliflower, until you feel better.
