5 Tricks to Stabilise An Upset Stomach

Diarrhea or loose bowel movements can leave your exasperated and dehydrated.

The reasons for loose motion could range from PMS to contaminated water/food to virus/bacteria or even stress. 

 If you have already visited the lavatory for more than 3-4 times, then you must resort to these hacks to stabilize your bowel movement.

Rice water has a binding effect in the digestive tract. Take a glass of rice water to see immediate relief.

 Bananas are light and easily pass through a weak digestive tract. They are rich in potassium and help refill the lost electrolytes in the body.

Probiotics help in reclaiming the gut health by reducing bad bacteria that could be the primary cause of your loose bowels. Yogurt and low-fat curd are the most common source of probiotics that are full of gut-friendly bacteria.

 Junk food is loaded with sugar and fats that have an osmotic effect in your colon, which means more water is drawn in your stools. 

Lastly, over-the-counter drugs like Immodium are helpful in providing instant relief from diarrhea. However, you must understand that these drugs only slow down the bowel movement and doesn’t treat the underlying cause.
