I've got the runs. i am not feeling particuarly nauseous, but it's certainly unpleasant. i have to go to the toilet once an hour. what should i do?

Try: Drink plenty of fluids and continue to go to the bathroom. Diarrhea is usually self limiting unless it is bloody and persists for more than a week. Although there are antidiarhheals like Pepto and Imodium (loperamide) I normally give 1-2 days of flushing and only use these medications if necessary. The fear is not clearing a serious intestinal infection. Good luck and get checked out if no better
