Laxative – production of a soft formed stool over a period of 1 or more days 2. Catharsis – prompt, fluid evacuation of the bowel, more intense, Vomiting Stages 2. Retching, Diarrhea types Exudative, Absorbants and Protectors examples Activated charcoal (toxiban, liqui-char), Diarrhea stepwise approach for Diarrhoea 4.

If all the above fails or if the patient is hypoproteinaemic or if the patient has really bloody large bowel diarrhoea and severe tenesmus, or if there is any other clue that neoplasia may be the cause, recommend ultrasound and/or biopsy., Diarrhea contrast Small Bowel vs. Large Bowel Diarrhea
