24 hours after Thanksgiving 1/2 the party came down with diarrhea or stomach flu. We thought it was food poision but a baby who only at baby food got it too. Others are better but i still have extreme diarrhea. I ve been drinking alot of fluids and imodium but still have it. Any suggestions?
Severe loose motions can be treated first with oral rehydration solution, and light food. If it is associated with cramps and bloating, you may go for stool routine test and then can start antibiotic accordingly.
Hope my answer will be helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
