Calgary GI group has recommended that COVID-19 patients with diarrhea avoid Imodium (loperamide).

This slows the gut down, allowing it to absorb more water, and ghus lessen diaarhea.

Problem is that slowing bowel means that virus won’t clear as fast.

Let the river run!

On diarrhea, staying hydrated key. Apple juice diluted 1:1 with water is as good or better (and cheaper!) than Pedialyte.

Plus kids will actually drink it! Worth keeping a box or two on hand.
