Turmeric

1 tsp. of turmeric spice to a glass of warm water once per day for 3 days cured chronic diarrhea and intestinal bleeding. All I can say is THANK-YOU from the bottom of my heart. Had your site not been there, I just don't know how I could go on another day, I thought I was dying.

After the first week of constant diarrhea. I went to see my doctor. We did blood tests and stool culture tests and all results came back negative. He then referred me to a Gastroenterologist who put me on antibiotics for 1 week, these pills did nothing except make matters worse. Then we scheduled a colonoscopy and he said that my colon was all inflamed and scared but could not understand why and that they would need to do more tests. I went on the BRAT diet in the meantime but that did not help either. I was so dehydrated and lost 25 pounds in this ordeal. After almost 8 weeks of constant diarrhea with no end in sight. I started searching on the internet for anything I could find relating to my symptoms. Then I stumbled upon this site and read up on the Turmeric cure. It WORKED!!!

It's a miracle! I have never been seriously ill in my entire life (I'm 46) prior to this. I am on my 4th day AFTER that 3rd glass of Turmeric and it's like it never happened, I am back to my old self!


Bread Pudding

My mom told me to try bread pudding for my daughter who was 5 at the time for diarrhea. I had no idea how to make so I just winged it. My mom told me the milk had to be scorched so I boiled enough milk to cover the bottom of the pot until it seemed to be over cooked and cubed a piece or two of bread, crust and all, put some cinnamon and brown sugar in, mixed it until it was thick and gooey and not only did she love it, her diarrhea was gone. Even my mom was shocked when I told her it worked. Any time my daughter has any signs of diarrhea, I make it for her and it's worked every time. I hope this helps!


Baking Soda and Fresh Lemon

Mixing a teaspoon of baking soda and a half squeezed fresh lemon or lime in 6 to 8 oz. of water, always helps me.


Apple Cider Vinegar

I was on my fourth day of extreme diarrhea and was becoming concerned because of no relief. I had recently completed taking antibiotics for a tooth infection and had started taking a probiotic with a high concentration of L-acidophilus. I'm sure that was helping. But when I started taking raw, unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar with the "mother" I saw immediate results. I also stopped eating any diary products such as milk, eggs, cheese, and also sugar. I always rejoice when I don't have to go to the doctor!


Blackberry and Raspberry Tea
Posted by Susan (USA)
★★★★★

Raspberries are rich in astringent tannins that may reduce intestinal inflammation and block the absorption of toxins. Raspberry or blackberry-leaf tea is also said to be effective, but should be avoided in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. You can make your own tea with leaves and fresh fruits. Drink one cup several times a day, between meals.


Radish

Katherine, do you mean a small red radish or the bigger black ones?

I ate a round, red radish, but it could be any kind.


Brat Formula

I love your sitet Thank you so much for it has helped so many times. I was just looking up for Diarrhea and noted the Brats formula which I have used for myself and others many times is written incorrectly. It says; (While you are suffering with diarrhea, eat simply. The traditional BRAT diet is a good one. (Bread, rice (white), applesauce, toast.) Dairy products, fried foods, and spicy foods are best avoided until the diarrhea problem is resolved.) It should say;"BANANA" rice, applesauce and toast. I use the baby cereal Non GMO Organic Whole Grain Rice cereal. That way it is always ready to go. Also Dry Baby food Banana should work too.

To cure diarrhoea my father said, boil cows milk, add a pinch of salt and pepper and full fat natural butter, then drink. It works. I don't know why.


Matchstick Remedy
Posted by Rw (Southwest Virginia) on 11/22/2015

I've not had the occasion to use this, but it was so intriguing I had to post it. If you Google "matchstick diarrhea Joepathy" you'll find more info on it, and the matchstick remedy is supposed to be good for other things. But here is what to do for diarrhea (and I haven't been able to tell if any matches will do or just the safety matches they have in Sri Lanka where Joe lives):

Take 2 Matches from a matchbox and light one.
Have the second match handy in your hand and light it from the first.
Dunk it immediately into a cup of water so that it will light and extinguish itself in the water.
Repeat the same process 3 times over with 3 sets of matches for best results.

Give the patient a teaspoonful from the water every hour or every time after a bowel movement.

I'd love to know if this works. Would be an easy thing to take on an international trip.

EC: Interesting testimonials and discussion about what is contained in a match head found on above-referenced site here.


Ginger

I have no idea of the cause but I had terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. Tried several natural remedies and nothing worked. Ate several pieces of candied ginger, laid down to rest for a bit and all cramping and diarrhea ceased within 20 minutes. Amazing!


Baking Soda

Baking Soda for Upset Stomach:

1/4 teaspoon in 4 ounces water. Repeat once if that did not help. If that does not work, try another remedy, like peppermint tea.


Cayenne

Hello - In the spring I got some kind of apparent flu bug that caused unbelievable explosive diarrhea. Neither an otc product nor a prescription helped at all. For 2 weeks there was no let up. I read on the net that cayenne pepper can help as it kills bacteria. I began taking 2 capsules a day on a mostly, or totally, empty stomach with two glasses of water to prevent a burning sensation in my stomach. I started getting better in a day or two and in a week the explosive diarrhea was gone.

Thanks for your wonderful site!

Patricia


Pickle Juice

Hello Meme,

How do you make Black Draught syrup and Clover salve?

I love the 'Old" remedies.


Pomegranate Juice

Freshly made Pomegranate juice is a miracle cure for diarrhea. Make u drain out juice after juicing. Instead of juicing you can crush seeds in your mouth, take in juice and spit out seeds. That is what I liked to do since had no energy for juicing at that time. You can eat a porridge of tapioca root. Combination pomegranate and tapioca root works wonders.

My friend's two children have diarrhea and their mother took them to a doctor who gave them medicine and wanted to have them admitted to the hospital. She didn't have have the money for that. Their taking the medicine. Would it be alright for them to take turmeric along with the medicine?


Post-Diarrhea Diet
Posted by Alex (Albuquerque, New Mexico Usa) on 03/17/2013

Now that I have a bout with diarrhea sort of under control, what do I eat? When and how much etc, I am starved but concerned of a relapse. I am trying to understand gut flora, and such. I am 78 and this is the first encounter with diarrhea that has lasted now more than a month. All my life I've claimed a 'cast iron stomach' and could eat and drink any thing, no problem. Thanks Alex

Post-Diarrhea Diet

Alex, you might start with white rice, banana and/or grated apple (let it turn brown). These are some of the staples for firming up things. Remember to chew well.


Post-Diarrhea Diet
Posted by Anon (Anon) on 03/18/2013

Hi, you will need to bath in mineral salts like Epsom salts or Himalayan salt- or use footbaths ( or feet in washing up bowl). I would recommend a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses which contains vital minerals. Did you find out why you had diarrhea? This needs checking if you've not done so. Eat bland foods which are easily digestible like rice/ potatoes, maybe eggs.


Post-Diarrhea Diet
Posted by Kelly (Cinti, Ohio) on 03/18/2013

Hi Alex from New Mexico: forgive me if this post duplicates but I'm having some computer problems. Here goes. Don't fear diarrhea just go to your local health food store and get activated charcoal (AC). It works much better than otc remedies. Take only one at a time as it is a very powerful remedy. God created our bodies to subsist on veggies and fruit, so enjoy those. Even if there is a recurrence, the AC will stop it in its tracks. Actually, the AC can be a little constipating so you will need the fruits and veggie to balance out your system. Don't panic if your stool is black as that is just the AC. God Bless!

Multiple Remedies

Several people in my family got a stomach flu with diarrhea. 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. For my allergies I use a netti pot with 2 cups of water and a teaspoon of sea salt.


Apple

This totally didn't work for me :( I've had diarrhea for five days and this is the only remedy I can try until I get paid tomorrow, the apple has made the nausea worse, and my stomach feels like its burning. Glad it works for some, but will be steering clear from now on I think.
