Diarrhea

          Diarrhea is a common symptom of gastrointestinal disease, characterized by increased frequency of the stool.

How to Control:
1.  Withhold and liquid if possible, for 4 hours. Sips of 7-Up or buko juice may be taken every 30 minutes. Take small amounts at a time, but frequently.
2.  For nursing babies: Replace milk with rice water or buko juice for feedings. Withhold all solids and other liquids except the rice water or buko juice.
3.  If uncontrolled within one day, consult the physician.
