Hello, at home we all had an episode of gastro. However, I was the only one who had diarrhea for 8 days. 4 days have passed since then and still no return to normal bowel movements and the feeling of wanting to go to the stool constantly, discomfort in the rectum.

Hello ma'am, I am sorry to read about your troubles! The diarrhea should not last more than 7 days without improvement I suggest that for the next few days you eat light foods such as soups, broths, toast with butter, eggs, etc. and avoid heavy or sweet foods such as red meat and undiluted juices for example If your diarrhea has lasted more than 7 days and you have not noticed any improvement, you should consult a doctor, as a precaution. I hope I've been helpful to you, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me Tom Samaha, pharmacist
