Fun night
Re: Fun night
Charcoal is great, the problem is a lot of Western anti-diarrhea medicine are not charcoal, but drugs to suppress bowel movement and speed. Actually the last thing you want in case of a serious invasion.Dabday wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 1:06 pm Charcoal will attach and render harmless just about any poision. You can buy tablets or a powder (not sure where, might need to import and keep some as stock). Use charcoal first, then come in with a powerful probiotic 3-4 hours later. A good brand is Jarrow (again might need to import). Repeat and up the dose as necessary.
If you clean out your stomach first with charcoal then bring in 50 billion beneficial bacteria a couple hours later, not many harmfull bugs can survive it for long. They get crowded out.
Always try the non-antibiotic route first if possible.
Charcoal and ORS is fine. Don't forget to drink A LOT when you have the runs. The fever combined with the toilet visits make you run out water pretty fast.

My 2c - I'm not a doctor, but I find Spasfon a useful drug for gastro attacks/food poisoning. It works on calming the intestinal spasms, but it doesn't block you up. I almost never take the bowel-blocking stuff unless I have a bus to catch. Better let it leave your system naturally and drink lots of fluids.
Hope everyone's feeling better now.
