Lose stools so commonly associated with diarrhea are a nuisance. The abdomen is bloated, there is a good deal of flatulence, and at times the urge to visit the restroom at the most inconvenient times – such as when you are sitting at a red light in your car or on the bus – makes this not only annoying but downright embarrassing and painful. This of course is the reason why so many consumers trying to figure out how to deal with diarrhea will find themselves in the supermarket aisle devoted to the quick cures.
