What Is The Treatment O Diarrhea ?
I started a weight loss program with herbalife about 6 weeks ago. The first month was great and lost about 20 lbs.... I take their protein shakes, their tea, and 4 pills(aminoen, celluloss, cell activator) and I eat real clean(chicken,tuna,fish,vegetables,Greek yogurt,cottagecheese,and only drink water other than their tea). Everything was perfect and felt great then I added a few more products(total control, prolessaduo, and thermobond when we have a cheat day) well i started getting diarrhea for a few days which I thought nothing of and then I had really yellow diarrhea that was full of water and I looked very bloated in the stomach area and it was really painful for 2 days I got worried and it went to regular diarrhea again but still burns off and on for another couple days.... Not sure what s going on can you help me

hello,
so you are lossing your weight by using these above mention medications firstly you stop these medications because these medication contain different types of compounds which have a different effects over different body system and body me get adapt ( if you taking it for long time) to it and if stop taking these medications even for one day you will feel ill , next may be you have intolerance to some ingredient like lactulose , milk protein , soya protein etc. which causing diarrhea find it and avoid it, next may be possibility of infection you get through foods , proper uncleaned of you protein shaker , in infective diarrhea you stool will be foul smelling in this case you have to take antibiotics so Please go and see a doctor is the easiest way
in diarrhea to prevent dehydration you should take plenty of fluid or juice containing dextrose and common salt , you can also use ORS and drink it at regular interval
