Replenishing fluids and electrolytes lost through diarrhea is most important. Drinking electrolyte solutions or barley tea warmed to room temperature in small sips absorbs well. Drinking a large amount at once can further irritate the intestines, so sip small amounts between meals, and temporarily avoid cold drinks, coffee, carbonated beverages, and alcohol.

Oriental Medicine Perspective

This fluid replenishment is only an emergency measure to prevent dehydration and does not eliminate the cause of diarrhea. If symptoms recur or continue for more than a few days, treatment to restore the spleen-stomach function itself must be combined to reduce the same situation.
