1- Avoid milk and dairy products except yogurt. (agreed by all medical experts

unanimously)2- "Start with a 'clear-liquid' diet," says Dr. Chey. "By clear I mean

chicken broth, Jell-O, or other foods and fluids you can look 'clear' through."

The reason, he explains, is that the bowel needs rest during the time you have

diarrhea, "and that's why you should stick with a diet like this until it

subsides. You don't want to force your system to handle more than it already

has to."

3- It is imperative to rehydrate yourself during these bouts. Add 1 teaspoon of

salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar to 1 quart of water. This will replenish your

glucose and electrohydrates.

4- Avoid these foods. Obvious ones to pass up include beans, cabbage, and

Brussels sprouts. Also, bread, pasta, and other wheat products; apples,

pears, peaches, and prunes; corn, oats, potatoes, and processed bran. And

definitely overcome that urge for ice cream or dairy products period.

5- Carbonated beverages due to their gaseous state may contribute to the

Herbal Remedies for Diarrhea

The roots of Oregon grape and goldenseal contain berberine, an antimicrobial

that may be effective against harmful food-borne bacteria, and other alkaloids.

They also appear to decrease colon secretion, helping decrease diarrhea. Their

immune-stimulating action will help many people who have viral diarrhea as

well. These herbs are often used to treat even serious cases of diarrhea when

supervised by a knowledgeable health care provider. They can be taken as tea ortincture. Blackberry roots are another good diarrhea remedy.

Bilberry also has mild antimicrobial properties, plus it is an astringent and

helps to tone the muscles of the colon. Eat the berries or syrup made from them

or drink an infusion from the leaves. Fresh bilberries or their close cousins,

blueberries, may worsen diarrhea, but dried berries are an excellent remedy for

it.An effective remedy for diarrhea is the use of buttermilk. It is the residual milk

left after the fat has been removed from yoghurt by churning. It helps overcome

harmful intestinal flora and re-establish the benign or friendly flora. The acid


6/24

in the buttermilk also fights germs and bacteria. It may be mixed with a pinch

of salt three or four times a day for controlling diarrhea.

Carrot soup is another effective home remedy for diarrhea. It supplies water to

combat dehydration, replenishes sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium,sulphur and magnesium, supplies pectin and coats the intestine to allay

inflammation. It checks the growth of harmful intestinal bacteria and prevents

vomiting. Half a kg. of carrot may be cooked in 150 ml. of water until it is

soft. The pulp should be strained and boiled water added to make a liter.

Three-quarter tablespoon of salt may be mixed. This soup should be given in

small amounts to the patient every half an hour.

The pomegranate has proved beneficial in the treatment of diarrhea because of

its astringent properties. If the patient develops weakness due to profuse and

continuous purging, he should be given repeatedly about 50 ml. of pomegranate

juice to drink. This will control the diarrhoea.

Turmeric has proved another effective home remedy for diarrhea. It is a very

useful intestinal antiseptic. It is also a gastric stimulant and a tonic. Turmeric

rhizome, its juice or dry powder are all very helpful in curing chronic diarrhoea.In the form of dry powder, it ma y be taken in buttermilk or plain water.

In case of diarrhea caused by indigestion, dry or fresh ginger is very useful. A

piece of dry ginger is powdered along with a crystal of rock salt. A quarter

teaspoon of this powder should be taken with a small piece of jaggery. It will

bring quick relief as ginger, being carminative, aids digestion by stimulating the

gastro-intestinal tract.Starchy liquids such as arrowroot water, barley water, rice gruel and coconut

water are beneficial in the treatment of diarrhoea. They not only replace the

fluid lost but also bind the stools. Other home remedies include bananas and

garlic. Bananas contain pectin and encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria.


7/24

Garlic is a powerful, effective and harmless antibiotic. It aids digestion and

routs parasites.

Apple cider vinegar For a preventive measure start taking a teaspoon of vinegar

and a teaspoon of honey in a glass of water half an hour before each meal a fewdays before your trip. Continue this regimen during your trip.

Bismuth Subsalicylate The active ingredient found in Pepto-Bismol, bismuth

subsalicylate, can be taken either after an attack or as a preventive measure. Be

careful if you take aspirin regularly as Pepto-Bismol contains salicylates,

which added to that in the aspirin may cause symptoms such as ringing in the

ears (tinnitus).Grapefruit seed extract Another good preventive or treatment remedy for

traveler's diarrhea is grapefruit seed extract. This extract is a powerful all-

around antimicrobial product and is an excellent disinfectant. This extract is

very bitter, so use tablets or capsules (take 3 capsules daily) instead of the

liquid. If you do use the liquid, use five drops in a glass of water. Another

helpful product to carry with you is activated charcoal which is explained in

more detail below.

Lemon juice Drinking the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon in a large glass of

water three to five times a day will kill off the pathogens causing the diarrhea.

For prevention in case there is a stomach virus going around, take 1-2

tablespoons of juice before meals.

Loperamide hydrochloride For severe cases of diarrhea, Loperamide

hydrochloride (the active ingredient of Imodium A-D) can be very helpful.

minerals and trace elements needed in the diet.

Blackberry Put 1 teaspoon of allspice in a cheesecloth bag and simmer it in

unsweetened blackberry juice for a few minutes. For children give them a

teaspoonful every four hours. Larger doses for adults. Several tablespoons of

fresh or frozen blackberries work well, too, as does blackberry juice or wine.Black pepper and kelp This is a good remedy for diarrhea caused by unpurified

water. Boil water and cool. Add 3 teaspoons of black pepper and 11/2 teaspoon

of kelp to 2 cups of water. Repeat as often as necessary.

Blueberries A compound found in blueberries effectively fights the bacteria that

causes most cases of diarrhea. Eating one cup of fresh blueberries should do the

trick.Bran Add one tablespoon of unprocessed bran daily to your diet. Don't use the

kind sold as breakfast cereal, as it has been processed. It can be taken with

liquids or mixed with a variety of foods, depending on taste. It works because it

absorbs eight times its own weight and will soak up the excess fluids in the

intestines. Your stools should soon return to normal.

bowels. Carob flour/powder is very beneficial for babies' diarrhea. Mix with

formula or food.

membranes in the stomach. Take juice several times daily to help regain proper

digestion. The juice is good for children, too, and should stop diarrhea attacks

quickly.

diarrhea caused by E. Coli bacteria.

rootstock; simmer for 3 minutes; remove to steep, covered for half an hour;

diarrhea.
