    I'd say it is normal since your diarrhea cleaned you out.  You should be back to normal very soon.  If you don't go by tomorrow come back and post. So many things could be at play here... age, diet, etc.  In the meantime stay away from cheese and bananas and eat fruit and drink a lot of water.

      Hi barbara,

      You might think that this is a daft question but how much water  do we need to take in a day for this to work

      Drink a glass full before every meal and top up a few glasses during the day. You might need more rooughage to get regular but, personally, during a very long time with diarrhea you should go to the Chemist and get some Dyolite (a sachet you put in water which contains body salts) as this stops you getting weaker and weaker. If still constipated, then eat some roughage like cereal or even licqorice to ease the constipation.

      Sorry had wrong spelling...

      Dioralyte™ is the number one selling rehydration therapy. It is clinically proven to provide fast and effective replacement of electrolytes and treats the dehydration which a bout of diarrhea can cause.

    If this is not normal for you, perhaps you should see your doctor. It might be the beginning of IBS.
