Lifestyle and home remedies
By Mayo Clinic staffTalk to your doctor about self-care measures that may improve your signs and symptoms. Self-care measures can't replace treatment, but they may complement it. Ask your doctor if you should:
- Avoid things that cause flushing. Certain substances or situations can trigger flushing, such as alcohol or large meals. Some people experience flushing when they're feeling stressed or upset. Keep track of what causes your flushing, and try to avoid situations that could trigger flushing.
- Eat a low-fat diet. A low-fat, high-protein diet may help relieve your diarrhea.
- Consider taking a multivitamin. Chronic diarrhea makes it difficult for your body to process the vitamins and nutrients in the food you eat. Your doctor might recommend a multivitamin to supplement your diet. Don't take any vitamins or other dietary supplements without first consulting your doctor.
