Diarrhea: Most probably you do not have a bacterial infection, such as salmonella or shigella or campylobacter or clostridium diffocele. And most likely, this is not an initial presentation of Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis. So, a doctors visit at this point is not compelling. Yogurt can help. Bananas, rice, apples can help. Immodium over the counter can help. Minimize caffeine and other dairy.
