58. DiARrHEA

The term diarrhea describes loose, watery stools. It is a very common condition and usually lasts a few days, although prolonged diarrhea can indicate a medical condition like irritable bowel syndrome. Stomach cramps and pain, bloating, fever, nausea, and vomiting often accompany diarrhea. It occurs when the stool moves too quickly through the colon, so the colon doesn’t have time to absorb enough liquid from it. The main culprits in causing diarrhea are viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Food intolerance and many medications can also cause diarrhea in susceptible people. If diarrhea persists for more than a few days, doctors may prescribe antibiotics if the cause is bacterial or parasitic.

Increased resistance to antibiotics is a major problem in treating infectious bacterial diseases. Alternative therapies need to be developed to be used in place of, or in combination with, current treatments to provide relief in resistant cases. Curcumin used in combination with three antibiotics was tested against five strains of bacteria causing diarrhea. Curcumin was able to reduce the dose of antibiotics used while still remaining as effective as the original higher dose without curcumin. It even had a synergistic effect with one of the antibiotics, making treatment more effective than before.101
