Try Chamomile tea.
Also, use wholemeal bread as opposed to white.

Try these changes for a week and then get back to me.

I’ve had diarrhea for a little over 2 years now. I’ve had a bunch of tests from my gallbladder, stool samples and even a colonoscopy. My main triggers are dairy, greasy foods, and spicy foods. I’ve tried the BRAT diet as well but it always come back. I work with a person that has the same thing and the doctors can’t find anything wrong with her either. You would think I’m losing weight with this but I’m getting bigger and bigger. I’m willing to try the flour and water. The ginger, teas…anything! I can’t tell you how sore I am some days from going so much. I don’t get stomach cramps with my diarrhea.

I don’t doubt that most of the suggestions offered have worked for some. However, things like flour won’t usually be found on the list of remedies for this condition. What I also find alarming is that it appears some have had diarrhea so many times that they have been forced to invent or develop a method of treating it.
I suggest that you do what you can to soothe your stomach and your gastrointestinal tract.The gastrointestinal tract is “one” system that begins with the mouth and ends with the anus. Once the stomach or bowel has become inflamed or irritated it becomes more difficult to heal if you don’t stop putting the things in it that have caused or have contributed to the problem to begin with.
Diarrhea isn’t always a disease of pathogens or irritation. Intestinal problems may arise out of emotional problems or stress, as with Colitis.Any emotional strain on the body affects the intestinal tract. Nervous tension causes contractions of all of the orifices in the body. Very often diarrhea is actually caused by constipation–which is the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorder. When the colon becomes compacted with fecal matter the body will liquify the contents of the intestine as a last ditch effort to eliminate the toxic condition in the bowel. Recognizing the conditions that are causing constipation, and addressing them, will result in the elimination of diarrhea.There have been cases where a severe restriction has required surgery to relieve the blockage.
When nature calls, don’t put it off. Waiting or indifference to the call may cause constipation.Lack of bulk in the diet or the absence of exercise may cause constipation. The physical integrity, or muscular health of the intestine way cause unhealthy intestinal conditions and deficiencies of required nutrients may cause a sick colon and decreased peristalsis, which slows transit time of fecal matter which may also increase bowel toxicity.
Stomach and bowel disorders may be helped by eating and drinking what I call “BRATT” foods: Bananas, (brown)Rice, Applesauce, Toast and (medicinal)Teas.
Also remember that insufficient hydrochloric acid (HCL) inhibits the body’s ability to digest protein. Low levels of HCL (antacids/Proton pump inhibitors) means protein goes undigested and ends up in the small intestine as a “putrefied train wreck” and causes auto immune disease and “diarrhea.” Eating too many Carbohydrates can cause diarrhea because they end up,undigested in the large intestine.The body senses this and sequesters water from the blood into the large intestine to take care of the undigested carbohydrates, which manifests as too much water in the intestine, or diarrhea.

I just tried that flour in water, and I feel so much better. I had never heard of that before, but it is working sooooo much better than the Immodium.
Thanks so much to everyone who posted that suggestion on here!
Simple, Easy, and Effective!

I always use 1 teaspoon of raw custard (the 1 that you buy from the supermarked to cook) mix it with a cup of cold water. It works like magic. I also give it to my kids when they have diarrhea.

Peppermint tea,ginger and lemon juice. Natural peppermint or tea bags, grated ginger and a dash of lemon juice, helps reduce diarrhea, abdominal pains,and the ginger is good for reducing fever. This remedy comes from the Tiano, tribes of Southern Central Puerto Rico .

For me, swallowing the contents of one normal tea bag (black tea, for instance Lipton’s) with the help of some water cures my cramps and diarrhea usually within 30 minutes. I lerned this method from the Bedouins in Saidi Arabia.

lomotil. this is better than anything else. however only 1 should b taken unless symptoms persist..perhaps another can b taken after at least 6hrs…too many will cause nausea..this was specifically done to prevent over dose
