I have had diarrhea for 9 days now and starting to dehydrate. what will help?

Hydration: Diarrhea ongoing for beyond a week needs to be investigated for treatable causes, which can be few. Use electrolyte solution like ricelyte or pedialyte, avoid sugar and dairy products. Rice based foods and yogurts would also be helpful.
