Management includes eating smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or acidic), not lying down after eating, elevating the head while sleeping, and taking antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) if necessary
Practical dietary measures include: Eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions Avoiding high-fat, fried, or heavily processed foods, which can worsen gut transit Reducing intake of alcohol, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners (particularly sorbitol and mannitol), all of which can exacerbate loose stools Temporarily reducing insoluble fibre (found in wholegrain cereals, raw vegetables, and bran) if these appear to worsen symptoms Staying well hydrated oral rehydration salts (ORS), available from pharmacies, are recommended to replace fluid and electrolytes lost during diarrhoea
They also work through different mechanisms and carry different side effect profiles
Its a milestone she feared she wouldnt reach
