NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR DIARRHEA

Diarrhea refers to the frequent passage of watery unformed stools. It is commonly known as loose motions. It can cause dehydration that in severe cases leads to death. It can be both acute and chronic. The intestine absorbs the water secreted by stomach, liver, and pancreas and from the diet. In case of diarrhea the water is not absorbed properly or sometimes there is excess water secreted by the organs. As a result the intestine is not able to absorb excess of water. People of every age can suffer from diarrhea. Diarrhea for prolonged periods can lead to complications like general weakness due to loss of various vitamins from the body.

Home remedies for diahrrea

Green tea is an ancient Chinese remedy for diahrrea. Dried blueberries and blackberry brandy is also good. Nutmeg added to any tea will do the trick too.

#1 - Josie Guerra - 08/17/2007 - 06:21

In the very beginning of a diarrhea attack, the stomach is very upset, and adults should avoid any food or drink for at least 6 hours.

#10 - LUCKYFORYOU - 08/25/2009 - 18:31

Just drink normal tea without sugar ( it has to be mixed really really thick), & in less than a day, you will be cured!

#11 - SUNITA - 12/23/2009 - 19:35

Diarrhea is a condition that we commonly come across in our daily lives. IIt can be quite distressing and debilitating. Advanced and clinically proven safe natural therapies an admixture of homotoxological formulations, vibrionic remedies, and nutritional supplements are known to reduce the chronic tendency for diarrhea or dysentery.* Biogetica offers safe effective products (N5, X4) for treating diarrhea*. They treat the causative factors and reverse the functional changes at the level of the tissue gradients and biochemical processes.* These products are absolutely safe and do not cause a swing in bowel patterns or constipation.*

#12 - Johan - Diarrhea Treatment - 12/24/2009 - 05:47

Cranberries work well too

#13 - Snomom - 02/28/2010 - 02:56

Yogurt works. It is simple and pleasing to eat:-D

#14 - bosh-o-rama - 04/19/2010 - 08:46

do not take yogurt! avoid all dairy products during diarrhea, it will only make it worse.

#15 - Janet - 04/27/2010 - 07:23

Diarrhea caused by viruses can often be quelled by first waiting until the stomach and intestines feel totally emptied of all fecal matter, then eat 5 or six green olives and several salty pretzels. They fill up the empty stomach and won't cause the diarrhea to return like it will if you begin to eat normal food too soon. I have done this many times and it always works for me. The important thing is to be sure you wait until the stomach and intestines are totally emptied out first.

#16 - Lola - 05/29/2010 - 21:06

Do not try the dill pickle juice remedy for the trots.You will feel like your shitting gl[@]!>-(

#17 - fullofcrap - 05/30/2010 - 21:35

i have stomach upsets now for nearly 15 days now and eldopar or lomotil is not working. Should try the cumin and methi seeds and curd. lemon juice, water and honey also not working.

#18 - v - 06/09/2010 - 11:05

Mix 4 Tbsp of raw-cold pressed Honey, 1/2 Tsp Ginger Powder and 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon Powder with 4oz warm Water. stir, stir, stir until well blended and Drink. Keep stirring to avoid Cinnamon and Ginger from settling.

Diarrhea is a condition that we commonly come across in our daily lives, but recurring diarrhea is quite distressing and debilitating ailment. OTC anti-laxatives and other remedies tend to upset the bowel habits of a person. However traditionally used and clinically proven safe natural therapies (Biogetica) and nutritional supplements are known to reduce the chronic tendency for diarrhea or dysentery and effectively treat their symptoms. These products are absolutely safe and do not cause any swing in bowel patterns or constipation.

#20 - Julia - Diarrhea Treatment - 07/06/2010 - 07:41

First and foremost it is important to recognize why you are having diarrhea. If it is caused from bacteria overgrowth in the colon, usually an antibiotic will be given. Probiotic pills aid in healthy bacteria and can help with the diarrhea along with gas.

#21 - corinna - 07/21/2010 - 18:12

warm strong tea WITH NO MILK or dairy such as cheese or butter as tea contains TANNINS which helps control diarrhoea .Also capsules of pomegranate, turmeric,and artichoke. But i think cranberries is aNO.NO it cures constipation however i have concluded that different things act for different people so try everything mentioned

#22 - terencec - 08/08/2010 - 13:51

If your diarrhea is a side effect of antibiotics, yogurt is definitely good because of the active cultures.

#23 - gorba - 10/12/2010 - 17:44

FIRST determine the cause ! Sometimes, your body needs to flush out something bad. In that case, drink lots of water and use the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple and tea) until things settle down. If antibiotics caused the diarrhea, yogurt is helpful, in addition. A call to your pharmacist will cost nothing and can be helpful in directing you to a cure, usually without the cost of anything exotic or even medical.

#24 - Contessa - 11/07/2010 - 08:11

I love your interest in helping others that suffer from diarrhea.

I do not have any absorption at all, and I have lost 70 pounds in a year.

Thank your and may God bless you,

i TOTALLY DISAGREE ABOUT THE PINEAPPLE- IT HELPS TO BREAK DOWN FOODS(PAPPAIN)- MORE DIAHREAH
HOWEVER FRESH GUAVA JUICE OR GUAVE NECTAR WITH OUT ANY OTHER BLENDS.
IN KOREA WOULD BE WHITE RICE PORRIDGE VERY OFTEN

#26 - kim - 11/11/2010 - 17:25

ONE MORE THING PINAPPLE IS NOT GOOD IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU MARINADE MEAT TO TENDER AND IF YOU LEAVE IT TOO LONG AFTER MARINADING IT, THE MEAT WILL FALL APART WHEN YOU COOK IT! THERE YOU GO. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE, TRY IT OR EVEN SEE MOST OF ALL THE DIGESTIVE ENZYMES -PAPPAINE.(BREAKS DOWN HARD TO DIGESTING FOOODS.

#27 - KIM - 11/11/2010 - 17:32

Bisto... it wont help but itll thicken it up a bit

#28 - andy - 12/07/2010 - 10:39

Strong black tea + 10 drops of lemon will stop usually. But, for virus treatment consult the doctor.
Even, Allopathy doctor will give anti-biotic & suggest for natural treatment only.

#29 - Shanmugan-kuwait - 12/17/2010 - 04:16

I can't believe hot chocolate is listed... For me, that actually causes explosive diarrhea.

#30 - Chichi - 12/19/2010 - 01:04

When i was young i had Diarrhea for almost one whole week. After trying everything else my mother went to an old fashioned remedy which was whiskey. you burn the alcohol out of it then when it cools you drink it. you probably need about a 1/3 cup to burn.. watch the blue flame, it's very hot. this remedy is also good for rotten belches.

#31 - wayne ollis - 12/19/2010 - 22:34

#32 - veronixa - 12/23/2010 - 01:10

Tea with lots of Honey seems to work for me...It was the 1st time in 3 days that i didn't have the feeling of running to the bathroom....Thank you for the suggestions, Some will come in really handy :-)

#42 - Jess - 03/01/2011 - 21:44

I'm thinking food allergies are the main trigger of this awful 'experience'. Maybe scheduling an appt. with an allergist will help. I just made some Tea, wish me luck! :-P

#43 - Laura - 03/03/2011 - 00:27

#45 - sick of running - 04/01/2011 - 08:21

Why is hot chocolate on the list?! I would think that dairy and chocolate would only make diarrhea worse!

Well I'm about to drink some arrrowroot water - I hope it works :-)

#46 - Done being sick - 04/02/2011 - 15:52

I had a diarrhea on time. As i remembered my mom, boiled rice. The best part was the upper portion which is called "lanot" or the sticky juice . I took it in a replacement of water. She put a pinched of salt in it. I continued drinking until my diarrhea was gone. I was almost going to the hospital for dehydration but for the help of Home cure remedies. Thanked God, i did not spend a penny...try it..

#47 - Got to Go - 04/04/2011 - 15:50

tried the honey and watter method cause alot of the otherones sound too grose ! and hot chocalate please that just makes it worse ! hope the honey and watter work !

#48 - in a rush - 04/11/2011 - 09:05

if your having diarrhea,dont try to stop it imediatley.
your having diarrhea becuase your stomach wants to expel something it doesnt want.
so let it go for 4 to 5 times.
then if you really need to stop it.
use arrow root powder in a gl[@] of water and boil it until its sticky.
drink it or eat it , it will be prepared as the type as you make.
drink twice a day.
its a great remedy for diarrhea.

#49 - jacky - 04/14/2011 - 08:46

when you have symptoms avoid eating comletely and munch three pards of raw garlic.it is anti-viral and it works wonderfully in my case.take at the interval time of two hours.it can destroy chicken kunia virus.

#50 - gamaliel david - 04/23/2011 - 11:28

drank my own piss and bingo its sorted me out! my wife is complaining though about the smell of my breath

#51 - daz - 04/24/2011 - 04:11

It always amazes me how people still believe in witchcraft/voodoo/magic potions/cauldron broths even in such a modern society.
I came here looking for good evidence of some proven theories, and the only evidence I see is evidence I shouldn't listen to natural health remedy websites.
Every one of you has a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SOLUTION for the SAME PROBLEM. Does that not make you think "hey hang on, they can't ALL be right" and even the main article is extremely conflicted on advice to give.
I'm sticking to scientifically proven medicine. One type of drug (many brand names, but same solution) and if ya allergic to it, there's one other drug that is slightly less effective.
No more stuffing around with this black-magic superstitious voodoo witch brew stuff for me. I'm surprised there was no call for "eye of newt" Haha

#52 - Evan - 04/29/2011 - 13:19

Natural remedies aren't "voodoo magic" they're what the world gave us in the first place to rid of these things. :/ Nature isn't a bunch of random green things. They have purposes and wonderful chemicals and fruits that give our bodies what they need to feel better. Modern medicine can only do so much for people. They don't even affect me anymore.

Btw, Honey and lemon in tea always works best for me. :)

#53 - Kaela - 06/02/2011 - 22:18

I know rice water is good for babys. Also, natural medicine is not voodoo. If you think so, sit outside a health food store for a while and watch the people that come out..then do the same at your local pharmacy. Who looks healthier?

#54 - Dana - 10/14/2011 - 17:07

This is my second day with the crud. I have a bacterial or viral form of diarrhea. So I used Pepto for a while, didn't eat anything but oatmeal with honey and cinnamon, and that concoction worked because oatmeal is an herb that soothes your stomach, honey kills nasty critters, and cinnamon dries and kills bugs, too. Then I ate something bad the next day, and the runs started again. So I'm on the honey treatment, and it is working so far. This isn't voodoo. Diarrhea has a variety of causes, and the remedies vary from person to person depending on their very individual constitutions.

#55 - juanito - 10/18/2011 - 22:18

I am cured of diarrhea. Last night, after eating honey and not getting good results, I tried some "Herbal Authority Echinacea and Golden Seal Root" liquid concentrate and two capsules of ginger root, and shortly thereafter felt much better. I repeated the dosages before bed and had a good night's sleep. The results were so immediate, they surprised me! Veritas est.

#56 - juanito - 10/19/2011 - 08:49

i cant stand this anymore

#57 - poop machine - 11/22/2011 - 09:35

i hv a serious case of the pooping going on right now, for the second day and came here to find sum remedies and i jus hv to say that guy who is callin g all this voodoo and witchraft is a big pile of poop himeself cuz dat comment made me even more sick

#58 - poop machine 2 - 12/05/2011 - 05:12

Some people (Evan) feel the need to rag out others, and that's too bad for them....but we need not make it our problem. We have a big enough one to solve, how in the heck do we get rid of the runs? lol. Usually, following the "BRAT" rule works, eat bananas, rice, apples and toast. Peace.

#59 - getyourwings - 12/06/2011 - 14:55

I havent heard of any of these remedies, I've always used a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Tastes horrible, but works. My aunt gave it to me once when I was younger swore by it ever since. I hate taking things like immodium and pepto as they make you stop shi*ting all together!

#60 - somegirl - 12/06/2011 - 21:44

been going all day & it now 12:03AM EST & on top of that my RLS has kicked in big time & my meds aren't helping..
