Hey i think i have diarrhea and how do i stop it from happening ?

See below: Diarrhea=3 or more loose/watery bm's a day. Otc meds like kaopectate (kaolin and pectin) or peptobismol can help (may turn bm's black); increasing dietary fiber or adding fiber supplement with limited fluid intake will form bm's. If suspect infectious agent (virus or bacteria or giardia), do above; replace fluids; consider visit to doc for stool culture to determine cause. Unlikely: bowel obstrxn from tumor.
