Hydration: The most critical therapy in diarrheal illness is hydration, preferably by the oral route with solutions that contain water, salt, and sugar. Your elevated heart rate could be related to your being dehydrated. Foods with high fat content should also be avoided until the gut function returns to normal after a severe bout of diarrhea.
