To stop diarrhea boil two cups of whole milk (IT HAS TO BE WHOLE MILK). Let it cool to a drink able stage. It forms a skim of "skin" on top as it cools on the surface---peel it off. Drink it. I have had it work every time for me." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/diarrhea.html&name=MILK_31592 /CURES/diarrhea4.rss2 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:14:42 EDT [YEA] Amanda from Osburn, Idaho writes: "I learned this from my great grandmother who used it all the time. If you have problems with diarrhea take two cups of whole milk (IT HAS TO BE WHOLE MILK) and boil it to a rolling boil. (It takes a long time to get to boil, but once it does...it will boil over so watch it close). Let the milk cool and as it cools it forms a skim over the top of the milk, peel it off and drink it. It works guaranteed. But as always if you continue to have problems see a dr." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/diarrhea.html&name=BJ_30959 /CURES/diarrhea4.rss3 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 04:18:19 EDT [YEA] Casondra from Denham Springs, La writes: "I would like to add that blackberry juice is great for diarrhea in children.

I wasn't getting any better. I began using pepogest and digestive enzymes and that helped a little. Then i read about acv on earthclinic so i bought some immediately (all i could find was unfiltered/pasteurized). I took a tablespoon in 8oz of water 3 times a day with each meal. After 1 day I am already feeling relief. I have much less cramping and gas and have only gone once today. I hope that this remedy continues to help me improve." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/diarrhea.html&name=ACV_29363 /CURES/diarrhea4.rss5 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:07:49 EDT [YEA] Heather from Phoenix, AZ writes: "Thank you for your tip on using apple cider vinegar for diarrhea.

I checked this site for remedies and tried Apple Cider Vinegar(ACV) (I already had in my cabinet) mixed with water. I mixed 2 tsp ACV in about 20 oz. of water. I smelled it in the glass and knew it would be hard to get my 2 year old to drink this!! I poured half into a glass for me to drink. I poured the other half into a sippy cup, opened up one of those take-along flavored pouches you shake into bottled water (hard to describe & not use a brand name)and used about half the pouch to flavor his ACVwater in the sippy cup. I did this a few times, maybe every 2 hours, each time using less flavor to make sure he was getting the ACV. It's been about 4 hours and neither of us has gone to the bathroom. It may be early but I'm gona call it and say this remedy actually worked." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/diarrhea.html&name=ACTIVATEDCHARCOAL_26299 /CURES/diarrhea4.rss9 Wed, 06 May 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Crista from Pekin, Illinois writes: "My husband and I are currently in school so our diet is not always the best because we are always studying. Because of this on the occasion food does not agree with us and of course the diarrhea happens, or even just a really upset stomach with maybe quite softer poo later. Anyways, I looked this up on the website and actually other websites as well. I found the activated charcoal in the stomach section of a pharmacy store. It really works. My husband had a particularly bad case so I made him take I think two capsules. He was reluctant, but after he took it he stopped having diarrhea and at the time he was vomitting as well. This stopped it all. It wasn't a miracle feel better, but the erradication stopped instantly. Because he was having an aweful time it took him till the next day to feel better. After that moment when either one of us has a thought of upset stomach we go straight to the activated charcoal. I usually just take one capsule and am done with it. Like I said it doesn't make you feel purfect, but it stops the problems out right. Not only did I use it for this, but because of its absorbtion properties I put it on a bug bite as a paste with water applied it to a bandaid and it stopped itching rather quickly. I think I made that to runny, but it worked well despite my mixing abilities." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/diarrhea.html&name=CWCC_24559 /CURES/diarrhea4.rss10 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Elaine Garcia from Chicago, IL USA writes: "Searching Earth Clinic for something to halt my diarrhea this guy said his mom recommended Cream of Wheat. It would absorb the extra moisture. Then I read about cinnamon as a cure and read about various ways to use it. I decided to combine the two remedies and I make a serving of cream of wheat and I covered it in cinnamon; I probably used 2-3 tsp. I love cream of wheat, so it was painless to scoff this down. It has been 25 minutes. Before I took the remedy I was in the bathroom every 15 minutes or so and my stomach was rumbling so loudly; I never heard it sound so awful!! Now, 25 minutes later there is an occasional low sounding rumble and so far I have not run to the bathroom...no urgency!! This remedy makes sense; absorbing the excess water causing the diarrhea, and the cinnamon has amazing healing qualities. It was used in the "old days" as a diarrhea/upset stomach remedy, an anti viral/fungal and it helps to treat UTI. I can not contest to these as I have not proven the results. But as for the UTI, that is how I got the diarrhea in the first place. My doctor put on one antibiotic that I was allergic to and then changed the medicine. My stomach was all out of wack and UTI is not gone~! I will keep taking the cinnamon and report that back later. My stomach is calmed down, I do not have cramping and rumbling. No bathroom trips in more than an hour. I am going to bed to get some sleep. And bravo to earth clinic for being there ONCE AGAIN in a middle of the night emergency. I love this website; advice you can rely on (take what you want and leave the rest).

I have tried ACV before, and i am a believer in it, but i was amazed that despite taking pepto bismol and immodiam ad, ACV finally gave me relief. after being stuck at home for 2 days i was able to go out to watch a basketball game, go out to a nice dinner (couldnt eat much but at least i was not running to the restroom).

C. diff is a bacteria--it couldn't hurt to use turmeric per the advice here on Earth Clinic. According to The Peoples Pharmacy -- http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/archives/herb_home_remedy_qa/coconut_saves_patients_life.php "Shredded Coconut and coconut macaroons can be lifesaving for relief of diarrhea from several conditions. The response can be immediate or can take several weeks" From the same source--consider adding pineapple for inflammatory properties. In my experience, C diff can cause lactose intolerance at least for a while after the infection. Try a lactose free diet. Earth Clinic-- Would you please add my response to any diarrhea treatment forums you have? C diff should be suspected in any case of diarrhea now (because of the use of antibiotics in man and animals) and, according to MSNBC, a superstrain of C diff may be in 40% of grocery store meats.

Some of the people noticed a difference within two to three days. My question is along with the turmeric tea once a day, I noticed that no one has mentioned what type of diet they followed? Could Ted or some of the people that have used this method answer as to what they ate? Do you drink the turmeric tea on the first day and follow a liquid diet for one to three days or what did everyone do or eat? I have a friend that has had diarrhea for two weeks and none of the over the counter products have worked. Could someone please answer? I stumbled onto this site today and I think that it is wonderful that so many people have been helped. I am hoping to be able to help my friend.

The sharp pain behind my belly button and the diarrhea stopped. It has been two days and its never returned! I was seriously considering going to the ER and Pepto was doing nothing for me.

Doctor thinks it is a form of colitis. It got so bad I couldn't leave the house. Took Apple cider vinegar 2 teaspoons in water 2x a day. Then Tumeric 1 teaspoon in water. 2x a day. pow! It stopped. Then went on to make sure. Kefir fortified with 10 billion acidophilis 2x a day. No more rumbling and colon sensitivity has subsided. Then went on to a pinch of allspice in warm water before bedtime. I went after this think with both barrels. Have not been bothered since. I think that it was a yeast infection in the intestines. They can not screen for a yeast infection unless it has gotten into the blood stream. At which time you are in serious trouble. Manifested: ringing in ears diarreha sensitivity in colon outbreaks of eczema skin rashed that came and went. Itching in the ears. A nagging cough. Cough is still there, it has only been 2 days now, but it is subsiding. Oh yes, outbreaks of atheletes foot, from time to time.

I've reccomended this to my co-workers who all think I'm crazy, but it works! Thank you for posting, I'm so glad that I tried the ACV.
