Home remedies

• Potato soup is often used as a diarrhea remedy. Other good dietary items include applesauce, cottage cheese and other Organic Raw Certified mild cheeses, rolled oats, and brown rice. Be sure to chew everything thoroughly to get the digestive enzymes going. Also, begin rebuilding intestinal flora by introducing beneficial probiotics such as acidophilus.
• Grate an apple and let it stand at room temperature for several hours until well darkened; this will let out the pectin that is the main ingredient in most common diarrhea medications.
• Try one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (organic) in a glass of water with each meal and at mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and at bedtime.
• Take activated charcoal or white clay to absorb toxins in the system. Actually, activated charcoal is a powerful adsorbent that attracts toxins to its surface, as opposed to absorbing them.
• Put cornmeal into a hot skillet and stir till it is completely parched (medium brown). After it cools, eat about two tablespoons (drinking as little water as you can). It is sand-like and not very pleasant tasting, but this old traditional remedy can help stop diarrhea in only 2-3 hours.
• In a food blender mix a handful of chopped red radishes, 1 cup of cold Organic Raw Certified milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch. Drink slowly. This remedy can stop diarrhea in less than an hour. Repeat in 4 hours if needed.
• Among the many other items which have been used for diarrhea are: raw organic honey, lemon juice, carrots and carrot juice, MSM, black pepper, cayenne, carob flour, blueberries, blackberries, garlic, cinnamon, and herbal teas.
• desinfect your stomach with Cola light
  
• eat yogurt
• Studies suggest that eugenol, a compound in basil, can keep your gut safe from pain, nausea, cramping, or diarrhea by killing off bacteria such as Salmonella and Listeria.
• pectin increases viscosity and volume of stool so that it is used against constipation and diarrhea. (pectins found in apples : 1–1.5%, apricot : 1%, cherries : 0.4%, oranges : 0.5–3.5%, carrots : 1.4%, citrus peels : 30% )
