Hi guys

What is the best replenishment drink after you have had a bout of D that isnt loaded with sugar or high fructose?

    Water, if diarrhea is extremely persistent and severe I have even gone to the ER for fluids which they are happy to accomidate. Gatorade, Powerade try to look for no sugar though.

      Thank you. I was a little worried about the gateraid. What about a pronourish drink? I drink one before bed anyway, maybe I need to drink 2 a day.

    Hi, I know it is very exhausting after having a bad bout of diarrhoea, and I sympathise with you. I find peppermint tea helps, it is calming to the bowels. Also you could try something like Diaralyte for replenishment.  Best wishes.
