Suffering From Diarrhea. Medication?
I recently just drank a lot of water and didn t have very much to eat and then at the end of that day, I ate a lot of food. Now, I have steady diarrhea and my body feels pretty weak and I have work in a few hours. Is there any I can do or eat that could solidify my movements or safely and quickly end these trips to the bathroom?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you didn't have food for longer time , you could be having gastritis which could have caused these symptoms, or it could be because of any infections.
I advise you to take antacids, which are available over the counter.Take electrolyte powder to prevent dehydration, take bland diet for few days.
If the symptoms doesn't subside in a day or two then consult your doctor and discuss regarding antibiotics.
Regards
