i'm pretty sure you can go to your local CVS or pharmacy and there has to be some pill to prevent it! and you should test it out before you go to make sure it works so get it like now!

Hey,
There could be a number of reasons that you've been having Diarrhea. The fact that it has been happening for a while is much more alarming. Chronic Diarrhea can kill if not treated, and is quite a simple treatment. It is the leading killer in non-western countries. It can be cured by a simple saline solution. However this may not be the case, but please understand that this may or may not be very serious.
I would recommend eating foods with high fiber and that go easy on the stomach. Take a look at this for a list of foods with high fiber - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It is also very important that you drink a lot of water to replace the water lost.
There are not many over the counter drugs you can take for diarrhea, however it is not always a good idea to take them anyway.
If it is not a virus, and is a bacterial infection or a parasite, the organism could get trapped in the intestines, prolonging the problem.
The best idea is definitely to go to the doctor. There is nothing embarrassing about diarrhea, everyone gets sick, and I'm sure your mum will understand. You really won't be comfortable or be able to enjoy yourself if you have to stop all the time in the car. It will be more embarrassing if they start to wonder why you need to go to the toilet so often and you haven't told them.

and dont worry about it being embarrassing, its totally natural.
