First Aid - Diarrhoea

It can be serious in that it lowers a person's resistance & defecation is no small problem.

THE BEST TREATMENT IS to drink plenty of liquids to replace the loss.
Diarrhoea can be prevented & even somewhat controlled by relieving mental strain and maintaining a high degree of sanitation as possible by cleaning all cooking & eating utensils thoroughly & boiling any water used for drinking.

The amount of fat & rich food consumed should be in small quantities.A person should not be concerned if they go for a week or longer without shitting.

This is usually due to the limited intake of rough food & the tension experienced in attempting to survive.
When food becomes available after discovering an aircraft drop or after a rescue, only small quantities of food should be taken at any one time to avoid discomfort.
