Diarrhea and prevention measures

The most common condition with diarrhea is dehydration and loss of electrolytes, causing fatigue and decreased appetite. Since 70% of the body weight is water, if the body is not hydrated enough, the metabolic and circulatory functions will be affected. When blood to the stomach decreases, the absorption and secretion of digestive enzymes also decrease, causing anorexia.

When traveling, due to many changes in circumstances and living conditions, the body is subjected to many external influences, making the risk of diseases higher, including diarrhea. This condition is common in people who are traveling or have just returned from a long trip. Traveler's diarrhea is not usually serious, but it can make you feel extremely uncomfortable because you suffer from abdominal pain and constant loose stools.

Diarrhea is a very common gastrointestinal illness and usually clears up on its own in about 5 to 7 days. However, for young children, the disease can become serious if not rehydrated and treated promptly. When there are symptoms of the disease, the family should immediately take the child to the nearest medical facility to be monitored by the doctor and prescribed diarrhea medicine with an appropriate dose.

Summer is the time when children often have diarrhea due to poisoning. When a child has diarrhea, if parents do not know how to handle it properly, it can make the disease worse and cause diarrhea, lasting, greatly affecting the child's development later. Diarrhea is a very common disease in children under 5 years old, with an average rate of 1 child suffering from 0.8-2.2 episodes of diarrhea per year. The disease is transmitted through the fecal-oral route (diarrhea is the source of infection). Diarrhea in children is mainly caused by viruses and bacteria.

Antibiotics are drugs commonly used to treat diseases caused by bacteria. However, in addition to its therapeutic effects, the drug can cause some side effects. Diarrhea is one of the common side effects in children, most commonly in children under 2 years old, because they have an underdeveloped immune system and digestive system.

Acute diarrhea caused by Rotavirus usually has an acute onset, manifesting in children with continuous vomiting and frequent watery diarrhea (usually more than 10 times), up to several dozen times a day, causing severe dehydration, which is a risk of hypovolemic shock, possibly fatal. Rotavirus is one of the major causes of severe and life-threatening diarrhea in children under 2 years of age. The disease usually occurs seasonally, focusing on winter. Rotavirus has 4 pathogenic serotypes. When infected with one type, the body only responds to diarrhea with that one type and the child may still have other types. 1/3 of children under 2 years old have at least 1 episode of rotavirus diarrhea, which also accounts for 50% - 65% of acute diarrhea in hospitalized children.

The hot weather is a condition for bacteria to thrive through food and drink entering the body, causing diarrhea. A scientific diet will help patients quickly recover from diarrhea.

Diarrhea is a common occurrence and many people experience it at least once or twice a year. In most cases, symptoms go away within a few days. However, there are cases of severe diarrhea that, if left untreated, can be dangerous to health. 

The human gut microbiome is made up of about 100 trillion bacteria that make an important contribution to our overall health. These probiotic bacteria need specific foods (prebiotics) to grow and other foods (cobiotics) to regulate the quality of their environment and diversity. An unhealthy diet will upset the balance of the gut microbiome and lead to inflammation, weakened immune system, overweight, digestive disorders, cardiovascular disease, even stress and depression have a cold,...Let's explore 5 golden rules of nutrition below to optimize this important health partner.
