Keep up with losses: Keep up with the fluid losses. Sometimes its best to let it run its course instead of trying to stop it. Letting it run its course may flush out the cause faster than slowing down the diarrhea. Some people during diarrhea become lactose intolerant- and may have gas and continued diarrhea with milk sugar products.
