Almost every adult will have a case of diarrhoea at some point in their life. It is defined as three or more loose or liquid stools a day and usually resolves itself within a few days.
A number of factors can cause diarrhoea – an infec- tion, food allergies, or as a side effect of antibiotics or other medicines. Such disturbances to the digestive system often upset the balance of bacteria in the gut. Fever, abdominal pain, or cramping often accompany a case of diarrhoea. The severity will vary from case to case – but the more severe, the higher the risk of dehydration. Signs of dehydration in adults include dark-coloured urine and infrequent urination (less than every three to five hours).
Although most cases pass after a couple of days, there are a number of things we can do to feel more comfortable.
Drinking sufficient fluids is key to replacing the water lost during a bout of diarrhoea – preferably water or tea, as fruit juices and carbonated drinks could worsen symptoms. In addition, probiotics such as Limosilactobacillus reuteri Protectis could help to rebalance the bacteria in the digestive tract, alleviating symptoms.

Helicobacter pylori is a strain of bacteria found in the stomach and the resulting discomfort. Some that carry it experience complaints while others have none at all!
Podróżując, chcemy cieszyć się wolnym czasem, a nie spędzać dni siedząc na toalecie lub leżąc w łóżku. Niestety, biegunka podróżnych może nam włożyć szprychy w koło i zepsuć drogie i wyczekiwane wakacje.
