Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea - runny, watery stools and sometimes explosive bowel motions. Diarrhoea can have many causes.

It can be caused by food poisoning, gastroenteritis, dysentry or a food allergy. Prolonged or repeated bouts might be due to Crohn's Disease or irritable bowel syndrome, or more rarely bowel cancer. Excess Vitamin C, Magnesium, stress and anxiety can also cause Diarrhoea.

A short attack of Diarrhoea is not serious, but a prolonged attack can lead to loss of essential salts and water, leading to dehydration. This can be life-threatening and must be treated immediately especially in children.

Tip: if travelling in a hot country where the likelihood is that you might pick up a bug or suffer from Diarrhoea always carry sachets of electrolyte powders which can easily be made up with water to re-hydrate immediately thus avoiding the health threatening problems of dehydration.
