    Probiotics.

    Grated apple gone brown. The browning contains pectin (sp?) which helps. I think also banana is supposed to be good.

    Thanks guys! Glad I'm not on my own with my better-out-than-in ideas.

    Like the natural suggestions too

    Oh yeah, my fave gastro tip is to get brutal about handwashing. I swab the toilet down, the toilet button, the toilet door handle, the bathroom door handle and the basin taps, and change the hand-drying towel, several times a day. This often helps to contain it to whoever got it first.

    I only use those medicines when I'm dealing with the runs from medication side effects. The resulting constipation is just horrendous so I'm not personally a big fan - only for use in extreme emergencies as far as I'm concerned, and never while ill.
