Dr. Will Bulsiewicz: 腹泻是一个严重的问题，不应该被忽视或轻描淡写。它可能由多种原因引起，包括食物不耐受、感染（病毒性或细菌性）以及炎症性肠病。感染性腹泻可能伴有其他症状，如恶心、呕吐、发烧和便血。夜间腹泻是感染或炎症性疾病的标志。在资源匮乏的地区，腹泻是儿童死亡的主要原因之一。脱水是严重腹泻的主要危险因素，需要及时补充水分和电解质。止泻药可以缓解症状，但如果感染是细菌性感染，则可能会有风险，甚至可能导致毒性巨结肠。抗生素治疗细菌感染并不能立即止泻，只能缩短病程，且会破坏肠道菌群，增加感染风险，并导致抗生素耐药性。因此，除非有严重症状（如便血、高烧、剧烈腹痛），否则通常不需要使用抗生素治疗腹泻。 Jonathan Wolff: 本期节目的重点在于区分腹泻的不同类型，并了解如何根据腹泻的严重程度和持续时间采取相应的措施。如果腹泻仅持续一两天，可能是由食物引起的，而如果持续时间更长或伴有其他症状，则可能是感染或其他疾病。了解腹泻的原因对于选择合适的治疗方法至关重要。抗生素滥用会产生严重的负面后果，包括破坏肠道菌群和增加抗生素耐药性。因此，在没有医生指导的情况下，不应随意使用抗生素。
