Diarrhea Since 6 Hrs,hence Taking Banana And Water Continuously.Is A Doc Visit Required Or Can I Try Some Home Treatment?
I have an acidic stomach ever since. When I eat something sour like tomato, I feel how acidic my stomach becomes. Right now it is 8am and I had been having diarrhea since 2 am. I took 1 capsule imodium around 2:15am.It's been 7 trips to the toilet with almost pure liquidy stool. I eat banana and drink water every trip to somehow replace whatever is lost as it is only now I am buying hydrite tablets. Do I need to see a doctor immediately or can I try home treatment within 24 hours?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having acute gastro-enteritis and need urgent attention.
There are all the chances of having dehydration and require IV fluids and electrolytes.
Now if loose motion does not control, go to ER and get examined for dehydration.
Mean while take plenty of water, electrolytes, lemon and pine apple juice.
Ok and take care.
