Diarrhoea is a common issue that can strike anytime anywhere, and always at the most inconvenient of times!

There are a number of different causes of diarrhoea from infections (viral or bacterial), dietary changes, food intolerances, excessive alcohol consumption, bowel conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and even some medications.

Many of us may have experienced travel diarrhoea while visiting places where the climate or sanitary practices differ from ours. Travel diarrhoea can occur from consuming contaminated food or water, and although painful and annoying, it usually passes quite quickly.

           

Common symptoms of diarrhoea include:

  • Frequent, loose bowel motions 3+ times a day
  • Urgent need to go to the toilet
  • Abdominal pain and cramping
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Change in colour of your stools
  • Mucous, pus, blood, or fat in your stools

           

DiaRelieve® provides effective relief from diarrhoea and is designed to effectively alleviate the symptoms of diarrhoea in both adults and children aged one year and above.

It contains Diosmectite, a naturally occurring clay with a high surface area and strong binding properties, that can adsorb up to 8x its own weight in water and is not absorbed into the intestine.

DiaRelieve® works by:

  • Adsorption of water molecules to the surface of the diosmectite - meaning less “runniness” and significantly decreases stool output1
  • Entrapping and excreting pathogens such as viruses, toxins, bacteria and shortens duration of diarrhoea2
  • Protecting the gastrointestinal lining without resulting in constipation.

           

           

Additionally, DiaRelieve® offers a palatable experience for all ages with its pleasant orange flavour making it a practical choice for those in need of effective and accessible relief.

It is recommended that DiaRelieve® is taken between meals, and the treatment of diarrhoea symptoms must also be accompanied by the early administration of oral rehydration therapy to help avoid dehydration.

If you are concerned about irregularities in your stools or if symptoms persist or worsen, please speak with your doctor.
