Diarrhea: This is presumably a viral gastrointestinal tract infection. To control diarrhea eat a very bland diet with no roughage, drink room temperature fluids in good amounts. To get calories drink flat Coca-Cola or flat ginger ale. Take imodium and if this doesn't control severe diarrhea, ask your physician for a prescription for lomotil or paregoric. If severe diarrhea persists get a stool culture done
