Question 1

does adding sugar to coke and drinking it help diarrhea?

Accepted Answer

NO: Coke is  very toxic (in my opinion) & has way too much sugar in it already. If you have diarrhea now is a good time to avoid sodas & other unhealthy foods. Avoid fried foods & dairy, which can be hard to digest. Drink lots of fluids. Chop up vegies (greens, potatoes, carrots, onions), add salt & simmer in water for 20 minutes; drink the broth to replace lost minerals. If persists see your doctor.

If you're having chronic diarrhea, then see your physician or gastroenterologist for testing. Possible Gluten or lactose intolera

See your doctor.: Most diarrhea resolves within a few days. When it does not, it needs to be worked up and analyzed as to its cause, so that the proper treatment can be performed. In the meantime, be sure to drink plenty of fluid to avoid dehydration. See your doctor soon, don't delay.

Question 10

is diarrhea for a couple of weeks something to be concerned about (maybe 2-3 bm's/day)?

Not having diarrhea: Normal bowel frequency varies from 3 movements/ day to one movement every 3 to 4 days. Stool consistency, measured by bristol stool scale, varies from normal (4), hard (1-3), soft (5-7). Stool frequency you describe does not meet the medical definition of diarrhea. Perhaps you have a change in stool texure, urgency, or volume? Report accompanying symptoms (blood, tenderness, fever) to your doctor.
