Need help with diarrhea control...
Okay this is not meant to be nasty or anything so please don't give me crap about it...pun intended...anyways, i've tried every western medicine, Imodium, Pepto Bismol etc...nothing works..
I'm in Vietnam right now, been here for a few weeks, but it started 2 days ago when i ate a kilo (2.2lbs) of jackfruit...then we had some local beef jerky, my gf ate the same thing but she's fine...now i've had runny diarrhea and it's just killing me...i can't hold anything in my system for more than 10 minutes, and i have no urge to eat but i think i need to eat to get better...does anyone have any home remedy or methods they could help me with...i've taken over 15 shits in 2 days, all liquid, there is no attempt to solidify the content...it's like pissing through my asshole... I crawled out of bed and wandered into an internet cafe to post this...please, help...or i might not be back in the States

BRAT is an acronym, standing for bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. BRATTY stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, tea, and yogurt. Most doctors recommend adhering to a diet that contains only these foods, as they help to bulk up the intestines and have a slightly constipating effect.
Many pediatricians now suggest the BRATTY version of the diet to end diarrhea in children, because of the active cultures present in yogurt. These cultures can help restore the natural balance of “good bacteria” after antibiotic use, or when the stomach is depleted by a viral case of diarrhea. Tea for children should be herbal, although decaffeinated green tea is also an excellent choice. In adults, green tea is relatively low in caffeine and has numerous health benefits. Rice used should be brown rice, rather than white rice. Brown rice has greater dietary fiber content and will help add bulk so that diarrhea lessens. Toast should also be whole wheat when possible, to add fiber. However, nothing like butter or jam should be added as these may worsen diarrhea. Applesauce contains pectin, which helps to naturally firm very soft or liquid bowel movements. Apple juice, conversely, contains little pectin, and may cause more frequent diarrhea. Rather than toast and jam, one might appeal to the picky eater by offering toast with applesauce dip on the side. The disadvantage to the BRAT diet is that it contains very little protein. The BRATTY diet, on the other hand, is a sustainable diet when yogurt is added. One should avoid yogurts high in sugar, as excess sucrose can increase diarrhea. One should also check to be certain the yogurt contains active live cultures, as these helpful bacteria can help eliminate stomach problems and make yogurt a digestible milk product for most who are lactose intolerant. Usually, several days on the BRATTY diet can help restore one to a more normal cycle of bowel movements. Chronic diarrhea in adults may also be helped by daily intake of dietary fiber. Though fiber is often blamed for loose bowel moments, it has an undeserved reputation. Regular intake of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of fiber can actually help to bulk up bowel movements and reduce diarrhea. Those who have irritable bowel syndrome are particularly encouraged to eat at last the RDA of dietary fiber daily. If unable to consume that much fiber, fiber supplements are readily available to help supplement a healthy diet. godspeed, spool |

yeah, i had diarrhea like crazy when i went back to VN (~5x a day). but before i went, my doctor gave me some pill to take to help hold it for a few hours in case i couldn't find a restroom in time. the food sure isn't sanitary but it's damn good and cheap! talk about seafood galore.
LOL your tourist GF thinks you're her ticket to america.
