What will glucose water do to diarrhea? |

Dear Ask The Doctor: May diarrhea patience drink glucose water No. Glucose water will only worsen the diarrhea. In diarrhea, there is a decreased absorption and increased output of water from the intestines. Glucose water will absorb water from the body and make stools softer (increases output of water); this is for constipation (hard stools), not diarrhea. I hope I have answered your question. |
