Diarrhea is a common problem for the elderly or the "geriatric" population. Diarrhea causes more deaths in the elderly than any other age group.

Although most cases of dehydration from diarrhea are from gastrointestinal infections, laxatives, medications and enteral feedings also cause some diarrhea. Many elderly have a lowered caloric intake and are prone to malabsorption.

It is very important that proper hydration for diarrhea, as well as for fever, be ensured with a solution that replaces electrolyte and fluid balance properly. CeraLyte is safe, easy to mix and drink, and can be made in a comforting, warm solution, and at a very low cost.
