What Are Diarrhoea Relief Products?

-
Antimotility agents to temporarily slow gut transit
-
Rehydration therapies to replace lost electrolytes
-
Probiotic supplements to rebalance the gut microbiome
-
Absorbent gut binders to firm stools and reduce water content
This category supports those experiencing mild to moderate diarrhoea, including travellers, individuals with digestive upsets or people recovering from viral gastroenteritis. For broader relief options, browse related categories such as Stomach & Bowel Relief, Reflux and Gut Health.

Why Is Diarrhoea Treatment Important?
Untreated diarrhoea can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, fatigue and impaired nutrient absorption. Fast, appropriate treatment is especially important for children, older adults or individuals with chronic illnesses. While most cases resolve within 48–72 hours, targeted products help manage symptoms more comfortably and reduce the risk of complications. For rehydration-focused support, see our Rehydration Treatments collection.

FAQs
How long does diarrhoea usually last?
Most cases resolve within 24–72 hours, especially when supported with hydration and rest. If symptoms persist beyond two days, consult a healthcare professional.
When should I avoid antimotility medications?
Avoid using these medications if you have bloody stools, a high fever or suspected bacterial infection. These scenarios require medical assessment.
Are probiotics helpful for diarrhoea?
Probiotics may shorten symptom duration by supporting microbiome recovery. They are especially useful after viral infections or antibiotic use.
What foods should I eat during recovery?
Simple, bland foods such as bananas, rice, applesauce, toast and crackers are usually well tolerated.
Can dehydration be dangerous?
Yes. Dehydration can cause dizziness, rapid heartbeat, low urine output and fatigue. Oral rehydration salts from our Rehydration Treatments range can help restore balance.
Is diarrhoea contagious?
Viral and bacterial diarrhoeas can be contagious. Practice good hand hygiene and avoid preparing food for others until symptoms resolve.
Can supplements help prevent digestive upset?
Some people use probiotics or digestive support products from the Gut Health category to help maintain a balanced microbiome, especially before travel.
When should I seek urgent medical care?
Seek immediate advice if diarrhoea occurs in infants, causes severe dehydration, lasts longer than 72 hours or is accompanied by high fever, vomiting or blood in stools.
