How To Get Rid Of Diarrhea?

I have been having severe diarhea for over a month. It s gotten so bad that I have gone to the bathroom in my sleep, in my pants at work and I just can t hold it. No OTC medicines have relieved it at all. What should I do when a specialist appointment and even my own doctor has appointments that are 1-2 months Away? I am 24 years old female, no new medications normal body weight

Hello my friend
Thanks for your question on HCM

Diarrhea is caused by:
Viruses
Bacteria
Parasites
Celiac disease
Other conditions too like eating to much gum with sugar or from an medication side effect.

The first step to do is to make an fecal culture.So you can make an diagnosis.
Do this laboratory test en then you can ask me about everything
But to relive you symptoms take loperamid 10 mg .the first time drink 2 tabletes. .when you will have the next diarrhea drink 1 Tablet each time you have diarrhea.. But go to make the test

Hope this Information is helpful
Best regards
