Remind yourself why you have diarrhea. While there are plenty of causes of diarrhea, it generally is your body's way of cleansing itself of foreign substances that could harm you. While suffering from diarrhea, remind yourself that you will feel better once whatever is in your system has passed. You should allow your body to go diarrhea up to 3 times a day before intervening.
Eat carbohydrates. Brown rice, whole grain and whole wheat breads absorb any bad bacteria that may be in your body that may be causing diarrhea. Carbohydrates can help to clog your system up a little and stop diarrhea.
Stay hydrated. The biggest risk of diarrhea is getting dehydrated, as you loose lots of fluids as your body empties itself out. Drink more than your normal amount of water, and stack up on electrolytes by drinking Gatorade and PowerAid.
Avoid laxatives. Avoid eating foods that act as natural laxatives, such as fruits and dairy products. You should also avoid foods high in fiber as well.
Avoid pharmaceutical drugs. While effective in stopping diarrhea, drugs generally clog your system up for days and stop the natural cleanses process your body is going through. Don't take anti-diarrhea drugs unless told to do so by a doctor at the time of uncontrollable diarrhea.
See a doctor. If you experience consistent, watery diarrhea more than 3 times a day for more than 2 days you should see a doctor.
