Hello,
Presently, take anti diarrheal medicines to get rid of recurrent diarrhea. Boil 5-6 raw bananas, mash it and take it with salt to taste. Diarrhea will reduce after you have taken it 3-4 times a day. You will feel better. Take adequate quantity of water and fluids to compensate for the loss of water. Avoid taking spicy oily hot food, avoid taking junk food. Take homemade boiled food for a couple of days till your symptoms improve.
Do continue to take the prescribed medicines as instructed by your treating doctor. Take healthy diet including veggies, fruits, berries, well-cooked whole cereal, etc. Do not take alcohol, take low sodium diet to prevent water retention and be active. Do regular exercise and walking. Quit smoking, in case you smoke and if obese lose weight, maintain healthy weight.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
