Healthy Tip Of The Day!
Natural home remedies you can try for diarrhea!
Instead of reaching for your Pepto-Bismol when you have diarrhea next time, try drinking a cup of chamomile tea. The herb has “an antispasmodic effect that stops contractions in the lower intestine.” (Source from Prevention Magazine)
Do you know of any other natural remedies that cure diarrhea?

BRAT Diet! Bananas Rice Apples Toast!
Peppermint oil is good for the abdominal discomfort. It's also good for IBS, sometimes. I feel that natural remedies don't tend to work for me though. Nor do OTCs. :(
That doesn't work. Just fucking eat healthy and don't eat meat and all the junk food and soda.
Cinnamon is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diarrhea, but I don't know if it actually works.
It apparently does help fight yeast infections, blood sugar imbalances, organ/tissue inflammation and LDL cholesterol, though.
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - how would you know it doesn't work if you haven't tried it? if you've tried it, then you're one to talk about eating healthy since not doing so is OBVIOUSLY the only reason anyone EVER gets diarrhea.
Well, anyone who has ever travelled or experienced old age or HIV or a host of other systemic disorders not related to eating badly will not make a statement that diarrhea is only caused by unhealthy diets. Secondly we are talking about treating diarrhea as apposed to curing it. The only way to cure it is to wait until all the offending bacteria have left or...the systemic problem is removed. Symptomatic treatments are many and one that works well is simply to drink rice water (the water left over after boiling rice). I learnt this the hard way while travelling in China. Always drink a lot of water and keep up your sugar and salt levels as these are rapidly depleted.
I wish I had known about the chamomile 6 months ago(Although I really don't care for the taste of it. Maybe I just found the wrong brand..). BRAT diet didn't do squat for me but I have stomach issues in general.
GINGER!!! ginger works miracles for me and like eases the stomach muscles that spasm when you have diarrhea
.@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - while i would normally agree with you, i will say one thing, i eat realatively healthy, as best as i can do, but i still get sick due to the fact that i cannot digest lactose. so any milk product is toxic to me and its hard to always stay away from it... i have meds for it, but sometimes not enough.
@rockawaysurfer45@xanga - Yeah. Milk is bad too. I eat ginger raw I think that shit is awesome.
