Most of us suffer from the diarrhea several times in our life. It is a very common bowel condition often occurs as a result of food poisoning and some other causes.
Symptoms:
Not only one symptom is enough to diagnose diarrhea. Here are the symptoms of diarrhea which would make you understand whether you are going through this situation or not.

b)Abdominal cramps
c)Fever
4)Blood in stool
5)Mucus in stool
6)A feeling of having bowel movement
7)Weight loss
8)Nausea
9)Vomiting
Causes:
There are a number of causes which causes the irritable bowel movements.
1)Food poisoning:
Food poisoning is one the worst causes of diarrhea. Consuming toxic and spoiled food is the principal cause of diarrhea. Today, our new generation is becoming habituated with processed foods rather than fresh and green foods E. coli, listeria, salmonella named bacteria are an immense culprit of food poisoning. United states are mainly affected by diarrhea caused by salmonella.
2)Food allergies:
Some people have food allergies, another cause of diarrhea. Food allergy or intolerance occurs when we are unable to digest what we have eaten. The undigested foods show allergic reaction which causes diarrhea.
3)Alcoholic beverages:
Constant drinking of alcoholic beverages can be a definite cause of IBS(Irritable bowel syndrome), which leads to diarrhea. Alcohol and diarrhea often go at a time. Alcohol provokes the lining of the bowel. If you have food allergies, diarrhea gets worse.
4)Medication:
Overuse of medicine affects our bowel system. Allopathic medicines are made by drugs. A long time using of medicines weakens our immune system. As a result, immunity power goes wrong.
Immediate remedies of diarrhea:
1)Take oral rehydration salts(ORS) water for instant relief. ORS water is enriched with sodium, potassium, and chloride. You can buy it from any medicine outlet, or, you can make it at home by mixing proportionate salt, sugar, and water. You could add a little bit of lemon juice or orange juice into it for a better result. Just fill a bottle of one liter and mix all the ingredients into it and sip throughout the day until you feel better.
2)Avoid plenty of fruit juice. It contains fructose which does a problem in digestion. Instead of fruit juice we can consume, or rather, we should consume coconut water. It works excellent if you have irritable bowel syndrome.
3)Take enough probiotic supplements to increase gut bacteria. Gut bacteria are very beneficial to kill harmful bacteria. Thus, probiotic plays significant role curing diarrhea. You can buy probiotic capsules from any of medical stores your nearby. Another way to get probiotic supplements is a natural way. You can take foods enriched in probiotic. Such as Yogurt, Kimchi, Tempeh, Miso soup, Pickle, Kefir etc.
4)Drink milk less black tea, as milk can cause of acidity. Green tea is an excellent source of antioxidant which helps to strengthen the immune system. It would be more beneficial if you don’t add sweetener to it.
5)Above all eat healthily. Eat fresh fruits and go for the green. Low the amount of spicy food and chili. Drink at least 8-9 glass of water every day. Have a heavy breakfast, don’t skip it. Skipping breakfast causes gastrointestinal disease could lead you toward diarrhea.
6)Don’t lead a stressful life. Our mind is intensely attached to our health. Don’t get strain. Happiness is the key to a healthy life.

CHOLERA
This infection can spread from contaminated water, raw fruits and vegetables, grains, raw or inadequately cooked fish and seafood, and contaminated feces.
It is very common among children under age 5, but it can also affect people of other ages. Within a week of ingesting the bacteria, symptoms will start showing that can range from mild to severe.
Watery diarrhea is the most common symptom of cholera, which can lead to dehydration and serious conditions if not treated timely. Other symptoms include stomach cramps, dry mouth, dry skin, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, exhaustion, weakness and restlessness.
As cholera is highly contagious, you need to take precautions to stop the spread of the infection and get proper treatment. Also, you can use a number of home remedies to help treat the symptoms and promote quick recovery.
Few home remedies for cholera as follows:
1. Increase Fluid Intake
The first step in treating cholera should be rehydration. Due to diarrhea, there is a high chance of becoming dehydrated and this can worsen your condition.
So, drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated. But not just any water, you need to drink bottled water or water purified with iodine or chlorine. To be on the safe side, boil your water before drinking it.
Along with water, you can also drink coconut water, buttermilk, herbal tea or orange juice throughout the day.
2. Homemade ORS
Prompt restoration of lost fluids and salts through oral rehydration solution (ORS) can help reduce the intensity of symptoms and aid quick recovery. You can use ORS approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) that are readily available in the market. You can also make ORS at home.
ors prevents dehydration
ORS Home Remedy for Cholera
Mix ½ small spoon of salt and 6 small spoons of sugar in 1 liter or 4 cups of clean water.
Drink this as many times as possible until you recover completely.
3. Probiotic Yogurt
Probiotic yogurt is also effective in curing cholera. It contains healthy bacteria that promote digestion and help fight off the bacteria causing cholera. Plus, probiotic yogurt is good for your immune system.
Eat 2 to 3 cups of plain probiotic yogurt daily until you get relief. You can add some banana slices to it for added benefit.
You can also make a tasty smoothie with yogurt and drink it several times a day for faster recovery.
4. Ginger
Being a natural antibiotic, ginger helps fight infection and cure cholera. It can also help get rid of diarrhea, stomach cramps and abdominal pain.
Grate a small piece of ginger and mix it with 1 teaspoon of honey. Eat the mixture to improve your digestive process.
Alternatively, you can make a ginger tea. Add thin slices of a small piece of ginger to 1 cup of water. Also add a few black peppers, holy basil leaves and mint leaves. Boil the water for a few minutes, strain and add some honey. Drink a few cups of this herbal tea daily until you see improvement.
Note: Avoid ginger if you are taking blood thinners.
5. Lemon
Lemon is also helpful in treating cholera due to its antibacterial property. It can help destroy the harmful bacteria in the intestines and digestive system that cause cholera. Plus, the vitamin C in lemon boosts the immune system to speed up recovery.
Mix the juice of ½ lemon in a glass of water.
Add a little honey and salt, and stir well.
Drink it at regular intervals until you recover completely.
Note: Do not give honey to children under 1 year of age.
6. Zinc Supplements
A 2008 study done in Bangladesh found that zinc supplements are beneficial in reducing the duration and severity of cholera in children. Zinc has more than 200 human enzymes that help fight off the infection and boost the immune system.
Good article. I had suffered from stomach problems in the past. Heartburn and diarrhea were, sometimes, common until I changed my diet. Also, baking soda with some lemon on it is a sure way to cure heartburn for me. Vinegar apple cider can be useful for diarrhea. It helped me when I took it 3 times a day. While these things can be a blessing, it is, always, helpful to seek some medical advice.
A good maintenance of clean environment can really help out alot..
A good piece to read. I actually suffered a lot while on a journey to Varanasi. I was perplexed to notice that there is some bowel moment. It was really shocking for me. I never had this problem earlier except during my childhood days when I was eating everything in random fashion.
I used the washroom unwillingly. I was instructing everybody to keep it clean including the surroundings. Now, it served my purpose. I gave a thought to what I had eaten. Except for the food brought from home I took nothing. The food was very tasty and I actually enjoyed it. That was all a day before matter. But, I am suffering from loose bowel movements from the next day only.
I recollected each and every item I have consumed. I could recollect soon that I had consumed tea in excess. It did not affect me on the same day. But, in the morning when I had coffee as per my daily habit, it worked negatively on me and led to this problem.the pantry service was two compartments away from my compartment. It took nearly an hour to get it. In the meanwhile, I had to use the washroom for 3-4 times. It was terrible. I became very weak.
Finally, I could make entry into the Pantry service and picked up Buttermilk and had it along with sugar. It worked well and within 10 minutes I felt a lot of improvements.
Sometimes, it is only a simple home remedy that gives a good relief from this problem.
tanks for the information
great full
I noticed that I would have LBM ot loosebowel movement if amongst the foods I ate is veggie cooked in too much of coconut milk. That is why , at the office, I would really make sure that the veggies that would go with my fish or meat dish , will be something just sauteed not cooked in coconut milk
Although, when at home, I welcome eating veggies or foods cooked in coconut milk , as long as coconut milk used is in moderation. And if ever, i get. LBM because of that, It's okay because I can always go to the toilet at anytime. Besides, it helps me take out the toxins in my body, so I don'ttake any medication at all . Though, if my going to the toiletwould be a more than 2 times, that's the time to medicate it.
But usually , my home remedy is just eating a banana.
Thank you for sharing this information. It is useful.
This is helpful. I rarely drink green tea, but I can see it will be useful to keep what I have in my cupboard.
