What causes diarrhoea?

Diarrhoea can be caused by different factors, ranging from viral or bacterial infections and digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, to eating spoiled food or having an intolerance to certain ingredients.

Stress, travelling or sudden changes in your diet are also some of the causes that may be behind episodes of diarrhoea.

How can you relieve diarrhoea symptoms quickly?

When you have diarrhoea, it is essential to follow these tips to relieve the symptoms quickly and effectively: 

1. Stay hydrated: Losing fluids is common when you have diarrhoea, which is why it is very important to drink plenty of water, have clear broths or isotonic drinks to replace lost electrolytes.
2. Rest: Proper rest helps the body recover more quickly. Try to rest and avoid strenuous activities while the diarrhoea lasts.

1. Follow a bland diet: Choose mild, easy-to-digest foods such as rice, bananas or stewed apple. On the other hand, avoid fatty, spicy or heavily seasoned foods that may irritate the digestive system even more.
2. Natural supplements: Some supplements with natural ingredients can help relieve diarrhoea symptoms quickly and effectively, as they have properties that help regulate bowel movements and restore balance in the intestinal flora.
3. Medicines for diarrhoea: Active ingredients such as Ultra Levura or Loperamide Hydrochloride, such as Fortasec capsules, have properties that help relieve symptoms and reduce episodes of diarrhoea. At Farmaciasdirect, you will find a wide selection of anti-diarrhoeal medicines.
