Speaking of Diarrhoea: Let’s Put Down the Imodium & Figure It Out First With Dr. Edna | EP 39

Description

Most of us have reached for Imodium at the first sign of diarrhoea. But stopping symptoms without understanding the cause can sometimes make things worse.In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Edna Kamau, an Enterologist, to break down what diarrhoeal disease actually is, what causes it and why dehydration remains the most dangerous complication, especially for children, older adults and people living with chronic illness.We unpack what counts as diarrhoea, the most common causes from infections to food and water safety to medications and conditions like thyroid disease and how to tell the difference between something you can manage at home and something that needs medical attention.Whether it happens occasionally or more often than you’d like, this conversation helps you understand what your body is doing before you try to intervene.Listen in 🎧How To Reach Us:📧 Email: sifahope93@gmail.com📱 Instagram & TikTok: @adoseofhealththepodcastConnect with Dr. Edna Kamau:LinkedIn: Dr. Edna KamauProduction by: @artlight_studios⚠️ This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
