The most important: ..step in treating watery diarrhea is replacing lost fluids. Sports drinks, plain water, bouillon, and non-carbonated beverages are all good rehydration sources. Avoid caffeinated & alcoholic drinks. Use OTC antidiarrheals sparingly. If diarrhea lasts more that a week, or if you have vomiting, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea or can't tolerate fluid replacement, you should see a doctor. Dr. Anne
