DIARRHOEA - Herbal Remedies UK Diarrhoea is caused by a substance irritating the colon so badly that peristalsis goes into overdrive in an attempt to expel it. In some cases the build-up of old faeces trapped in the colon becomes so large that these themselves induce a state of continuous rapid peristalsis, which results in chronic diarrhea. In other words severe constipation can show itself as diarrhea. Fast on purified water with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice in it and take a warm chamomile enema unless colitis is suspected. If colitis is suspected omit the enema. Also drink as much blackberry leaf tea as you can manage and either way ensure you take plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and the constant loss of electrolytes. Once cleared in 2 or 3 days time go on to eating well ripened mashed bananas with yoghurt for a further day and then gently go back on to a normal healthy diet. Intestinal Formula No 3 is extremely helpful for diarrhoea. If the diarrhoea lasts longer than 2 to 3 days it may be the result of colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or coeliac disease - so seek further medical help. Infantile Diarrhoea Any diarrhoea in infancy which doesn't clear up in 24 hours needs immediate and urgent medical attention. Causes may include over-feeding, the mother's poor diet if she is breast feeding, teething, or a bacterial or viral infection or intestinal parasites like giardia, threadworms, ascaria and amoeba which are now endemic in the UK . (1 in 5 British schoolchildren is infected with parasitic threadworm).

More Emergency Medicine Resources Back to table of contents 6.07 Diarrhea Presentation Complaints may range from acute, copious diarrhea producing shock, to concern because an occasional stool is not well formed. Typically, there is crampy pain throughout the abdomen, especially before a diarrhea stool, and some irritation of the anus. Tenesmus (the frequent urge to defecate) can exist without diarrhea. What to do: Ask specifically about the frequency of stools, the volume (much liquid implies a defect in absorption in the small bowel, while tenesmus producing little more than mucus implies inflammation of the rectosigmoid wall), the character (color, odor, blood, or mucus) and the consistency (like water or just loose stool). Ask about travel, medications (including antibiotics), prior similar symptoms, and nocturnal symptoms (rare with functional disease). Perform orthostatic vital signs and urinalysis and weigh pediatric patients. Any symptoms, fall in presssure, or pulse rise of more than 20 beats per minute after standing for a minute suggests hypovolemia. A urine specific gravity of 1.020 or greater also suggests hypovolemia, and ketones of 2+ or greater suggest starvation ketosis. Perform a rectal examination and obtain a sample of stool for occult blood testing and for Wright's or Gram stain. If the rectal ampulla is empty, you can still swab the mucosa, and may get an even better specimen for stool culture. A spontaneous specimen is also good. If the patient has recently been on antibiotics, test the stool for clostridim difficile.

Diarrhea is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements or a decrease in the form of stool (greater looseness of stool).

These other conditions are: incontinence of stool, which is the inability to control (delay) bowel movements until an appropriate time, i.e., until one can get to the toilet rectal urgency, which is a sudden urge to have a bowel movement that is so strong that if a toilet is not immediately available there will be incontinence incomplete evacuation, which is a sensation that another bowel movement is necessary soon after a bowel movement, yet there is difficulty passing further stool the second time
