• Avoid consuming contaminated water and food.
• Rest your stomach and bowels, but continue to drink fluids. You can accomplish this by not eating anything and simply drinking clear drinks. Clear liquids include water, weak tea, fruit juice mixed half and half with water, and caffeine-free soft beverages (like lemon-lime soda).
• When you have severe diarrhoea, your body can lose too much fluid, causing dehydration. Dehydration is especially deadly for youngsters and the elderly. You may also lose the minerals your body requires to function effectively. Your doctor may advise you to take an oral rehydration solution, which is a drink that replaces fluids and minerals.
• Avoid acidic beverages, such as orange juice, or caffeinated, like coffee, if you suffer from diarrhoea.
• Eat only hot, freshly cooked meals when travelling to areas where contamination is more likely. Consume no raw veggies or fruit. Only consume bottled water and drinks. Avoid using tap water and ice, and instead, boil water before drinking.
• You may consume soft, simple foods. Soda crackers, toast, simple noodles or rice, prepared cereal, applesauce, and bananas are good options. Slowly consume items that are difficult to digest or may irritate your stomach, such as acidic meals (such as tomatoes or oranges), spicy or fatty foods, meats, and fresh vegetables. You should be able to resume your normal diet in a few days.
• If you suffer cramps or stomach aches, a hot water bottle or heating pad on your stomach may assist. Cover the hot water bottle with a cloth or use a heating pad on low heat to avoid burning your skin.
• When camping or hiking, only drink water that has been purified by boiling, appropriate filtration, or disinfection tablets.
• Rest as much as you can. Prop your head up while sitting or lying down. After eating, lie down for at least 2 hours.
