Doctor can evaluate: Stomach aches plus loose stools can be from many causes. People usually see a doctor if symptoms are bad or if lasting more than 2 days. When diarrhea first starts, a person can benefit by waiting 4-6 hours to rest the stomach, and then start just drinking small amounts (~2 ounces) of something like Pedialyte or half-strength Gatorade, every hour. That should decrease the amount of diarrhea.

See below: Agree with Dr. Kwok. You may take Immodium or Peptobismol to control diarrhea. Do keep you intake of watery liquid high to avoid dehydration. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
