Self-Treatment of Food Poisoning
Yes, you can treat diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dehydration and other severe gastrointestinal symptoms like stomach pain and abdominal cramping safely, effectively and quickly yourself with non-prescription products that are available at a store near you now. It is not necessary to make an expensive trip to the doctor and wait for hours.There are safe non-prescription products available to treat gastrointestinal symptoms caused by food poisoning, usually at a cost of less than $20, if you live in the USA. You just need to know what those products are and how to they can be used for effective treatment of a seriously sick stomach. Okay, I'm guessing that you don't want to mess around right now, because you or someone you're helping is feeling really sick. You can get control over this situation with a multi-faceted approach to self- treatment. So let's get started.
Is there diarrhea? If diarrhea is bad, lasting for at least a few hours, then it is essential to think about rehydration.Bad diarrhea is often due to viral or bacterial infection, and you might NOT want to stop the diarrhea entirely, since it is the body's mechanism of getting rid of gastrointestinal infection. I can provide you with plenty of info to help you think thru when to try to stop the diarrhea, and how aggressively you might want to treat it. Also, if diarrhea is bad, you need to use the right foods at the right time. If you use the wrong foods, or the right foods at the wrong time, then the sick stomach will probably get worse. Wait too long to start food and the patient will be weakened. Furthermore, after a severe bout of diarrhea, there if often bad stomach pain for days. I can provide you with essential information on preventing/stopping that.
Is there nausea and/or vomiting? Dramamine or Bonine will often control nausea due to motion sickness, (air sickness, car sickness.) And over the counter products like Pepto-Bismol, Emetrol, Maalox, etc., which are marketed for sick stomach, often help with mild stomach upset. But often they will NOT stop vomiting, because they only work in the stomach and intestines. People typically think that the stomach controls vomiting, but actually the nausea center of the brain controls it. So, the best anti-nausea (anti-emetic) drugs work in the nausea center of the brain. You may have heard of the prescription drugs Phenergan (promethazine) or Compazine (prochlorperazine). These are the most commonly used anti-nausea drugs available by prescription only. They are very effective. But in the U.S. it is not legal for a drug company to market non-prescription anti-nausea drugs that work in the brain. However, there is a non-prescription drug which works in the nausea center of the brain. It will stop nausea quickly and very effectively. But, the manufacturer just cannot legally market it as a non-prescription drug for nausea in America. In a moment I'll tell you what drug that is. (If the only problem is nausea/vomiting, without dehydration, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, etc., then you might want to check out the Nausea/Vomiting page instead of this page.)
