The prerequisite is that stools of reduced <strong>consistency<\/strong> (i.e. not formed, but thin) are emptied several times a day &#8211; at least three times &#8211; accompanied by a violent<strong> urge<\/strong> to defecate; <strong>stool weight<\/strong> and <strong>volume<\/strong> are usually also increased.<\/p><p>Every year, almost one-third of the population suffers from diarrhoea at least once, but only a small proportion of those affected consult a doctor.

The causes are manifold: Acute diarrhoea is often caused by spoiled food (&#8220;food poisoning&#8221;) or viral (bacterial) infections. Diarrhoea is a side effect of taking certain medicines and antibiotics. If diarrhoea persists for a long time, it is essential to consult a doctor.

It is therefore important not to suppress this <strong>excretory process<\/strong> and not to immediately stop the <strong>movement of the bowels<\/strong> with chemical medication.<\/p><p>The most important thing is to <strong>counteract dehydration<\/strong>. This should be done by <strong>drinking plenty of fluids enriched with minerals<\/strong> (potassium, sodium and others) and sugar (glucose). Sugar helps to absorb fluids better; <strong>black tea contains tannins that have an antidiarrhoeal effect<\/strong> (if brewed long enough, at least 5 minutes) and soothe the intestinal mucosa).<\/p><p><strong>Food<\/strong> should slowly be re-introduced, <strong>initially, no solid foods<\/strong> should be eaten, and milk should also be avoided.
