Tried fiber, digestive enzynmes, apple cider vinegar, probiotics, nothing. Reading Ted\'s post on granulated soy lecithin I tried it, but I didn\'t try it as a remedy for diarrhea. I started taking one tablespoon in the morning and evening before meals and it did wonders. The second day of this regimen I had 5 solid bowel movements. After that my bowels, which I couldn\'t trust, are now normal. Also, consider taking granulated soy lecithin first if coconut oil gives you bowel issues and you want to experiment with coconut oil.

I was taking the dreaded antibiotic, Clindamycin, which is legendary in it\'s reputation for not only horrible diarrhea, but also C. Diff as well. Anyway, I was starving becuase I basically crapped everything out all night. And, I decided to instead add 2 tablespoons of turmeric to my meal. Meal being: fried fish, collard greens, and mac and cheese... yup soul food..lol. Ok, so I eat my meal with the turmeric added and voila! Like magic no diarrhea. And, most of all, the food tasted even better with it! Also, for people who are having trouble drinking water with turmeric due to taste, you can also try making a wonderfully smooth and tasty turmeric drink using Almond Milk. Warm up your almond mik a little bit in the microwave first, then add 1 tablespoon of turmeric after you warmed the milk and umm hmm good! Tasty and no more diarrhea! God Bless Earth Clinic!

I didn\'t get the stomach flu but got a bad case of diarrhea. After 2 days of this I started bleeding a lot of bright red blood when having a bowel movement. I searched the web for possibilities then came to earth clinic and found cures for all the likely possibilities it could be. I found a few post that described similar symptoms. I combined these to come up with a cure that worked for me. Every morning I would make a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, after eating the oatmeal I would drink a glass of water that had 1/3 cup of aloe vera juice added. As I drank this I would take 2000 mg of garlic capsules, 2000 mg vitamin c, 1500 mg tumeric capsules, and I would chew two papaya enzyme tablets. After this I would drink a glass of water that had 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar added. For lunch and dinner I would drink the water with aloe vera and take the garlic, tumeric, vitamin c and papaya enzyme but not the apple cider vinegar. At meals and snacks I ate high fiber foods mostly. I did this for 10 days. In less than 24 hours I felt much better. After 48 hours I had no bleeding and my appetite returned. After 6 days I felt back to normal but continued the treatment for the full 10 days. It has now been over a week since I stopped this treatment and still feel good. I am a 51 year old male and I have been taking 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water for over a year every morning and I take 1000 mg vitamin c at each meal.

Within 24 hours, my chronic fatigue was gone and within 30 days, my aches and pain were also gone. I have wondered if anyone else has given Hydrochloric Acid supplements (capsules only with Pepsin) a try? It worked for me since my digestive system was not able to break down minerals necessary for bioavailability.

Some take a few tablets, some put a teaspoon of powder into glass of water. It is amazing how much it helps. My husband\'s diarrhea has probably decreased also because he doesn\'t consume much dairy. Ice cream more than once a week always gets him started again. He can tolerate raw goat milk from our goats with no problem. Keep charcoal on hand at all times and read about what it is good for.

I started taking one tablespoon of ground flaxseed (same as flaxseed meal), in the morning and one in the evening. At first it didn't help, so I gave it more time, and after about a month (will be different for different peole probably), I have really noticed that things have improved. For as long as I remember I have had loose stools every day, and at least twice a day. (Sorry if tmi.. ) But a month into taking flaxseed I have firm stools for the first time in ages! It's remarkable how it has helped. Most people think of ground flaxseed as a laxative, and it apparently will get you moving if tend towards constipation, but it seems to do this by bulking up your stool, (making it less hard). And in the same way it stops too loose stools by bulking them up and making them more solid. (Apologies again for the detail I am going into. Not sure how else to explain it! ) I'm very happy with it. It's meant to contain loads of vitamins and minerals and to be really good for all sorts of disorders. I'm really happy with it, and will be taking it for a long time!

By the end of the trip, I had a classic case of traveler's diarrhea (caused by the presence of E. Coli in the water). My stomach started to bother me and a few days after I left Morocco, I was experiencing excruciating cramping, had liquid bowel movements about 11-12 times per day, had a burning/queasy feeling in my stomach, had chills, could not eat, and was generally miserable. Every anti-diarrhea medication that I tried or was prescribed (I tried 5) had absolutely NO effect on me. It wasn't too long before my fiance's parents knew ALL about my bowel problems (to my embarassment), so my fiance's mom gave me apple baby food which seemed to help a little. I suffered for another 3 days, and on the final day I had to travel home for over 24 hours, including a 11-hour flight, and with my condition it seemed like it was going to be a disaster. the trip I looked up remedies on EC and bought some ACV (couldn't buy the kind with the mother, because I was not in the US at the time). I took the ACV about 3 times that day and the cramping and nausea disappeared and the frequency of my bowel movements greatly decreased. When I got back to the US I was able to take some ACV with the mother, took some coconut oil in chai (which contains cinnamon), ate some applesauce with cinnamon, and in one day my problem was completely GONE, finally putting an end to my 10 days of suffering. Thank you EC!!!! And readers, PLEASE do not drink the water in developing countries ;) N.B.: Coconut oil might have been effective in my case because my diarrhea was caused by a bacterial/parasitic infection, but coconut oil generally has a laxative effect on most people, so use with caution!
