Effective Natural Remedies for Managing Diarrhea

To stop diarrhea in adults, pour 1 teaspoon (for kids use 1/4 teaspoon) of ground nutmeg in a spoon. Fill a glass with at least 2 cups of water. Put the spoon of ground nutmeg into your mouth. Drink the glass of water and eat the teaspoon of nutmeg at the same time.

Wait two hours while drinking plenty of water. If you still have diarrhea at this point, eat another 1 teaspoon and 2 cups of water. If diarrhea persists then stop use and try something else.

This worked wonders when I was in grade school!

Was wondering if you are still taking the ground flaxseed for loose stools? My 82 year old mother is having severe issues in this area and am going to start her on this.

1 tbspoon of white clay in a liter of water, you let it rest for a few hours and then drink a bit once in a while. Helps me big time!

Hi, I have found in the past the best cure for Diarrhea was...... YOGURT....... Just eat 1/2 tub 500g of plain greek yogurt it worked for me. hope this helps someone.

My young baby daughter got really bad diarrhoea when I was in Europe. The doctor told me to boil rice and the gluggy water that was left after boiling the rice to add it to her milk bottle I added a quarter milk and filled the bottle with rice water. She was happy as she had her bottle, next day she was better two days she was fine.

I was in Egypt this past month and had terrible head and stomach ache from dehydration... i was given this red tea was so good to drink and in a 1/2 hour was no head ache nor stomach problems. The name of the tea is hibiscus.

This is the home remedy my mother always used for diarrhea: Boil one ounce of rice to one quart of water for twenty minutes, then strain and drink.

Another thing--

C diff colonizes in the bowel and should not be treated unless she is having symptoms (abdominal symptoms, fever or diarrhea).

C. diff is a bacteria--it couldn't hurt to use turmeric per the advice here on Earth Clinic.

According to The Peoples Pharmacy --

"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.

Thank you. And thanks for offering this wonderful resource for people! CSM

Diarrhea - wrote in 2009 and is published on this site. Had severe problems. The cures I took got rid of the diarrhea completely. Kifir a 5 oz. glass, 2 teaspoons of ACV in 5 oz. of water 2x a day. A pinch of all spice in warm water before going to bed. Acidophilus 5 million a day. I added butter milk also.

I have not been bothered since. I do not have to take these any more and have not after about 6 weeks.

The list of symptoms you describe suggest a bad parasite infestation. Try taking a parasite cleanse tincture that contains Wormwood, Cloves and green Black Walnut hulls. Worked very well for me. Check the dosage on the internet as you need to start slowly with 3 drops a day and work up slowly.

Eating as much white rice as you can will cure diahhrea.

What about people who are gluten intolerant, my friend told me about this remedy.

Diarrhea Remedies: Use of calcium montmorillonite clay, especially with silver nitrate can be a very good way to resolve the bacteria, and bowel irritation and help absorb extra fluids to form a more consistent stool. Use a premium, food-grade product that is made in the USA.

Just wanted to agree with using clay for diarrhea. After getting a severe case of gastroenteritis one year that kept me on a couch for a week, I vowed never to get it again. After doing some research clay, activated charcoal and olive leaf extract became my line of defense.

I always keep Bentonite Clay on hand, along with some pills containing a mix of clay and charcoal from our local health food store.

Just wanted to give a quick update to using clay for diarrhea. I am still using it, but found a simple way of drinking clay in it's powdered form as apposed to using the pills. I mix a half a cup to a full cup of milk, a half a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses, two or three level teaspoons of sugar (just to sweeten) and 3 or 4 teaspoons of clay or more. I put all this into one of those metallic "water bottles" and shake! Normally clay sticks a lot and is hard to get mixed well; you end up with clumps that's not a lot of fun. Doing it the way above mixes it evenly and it's just like drinking a milk shake; a dark, cloudy, evil looking milk shake, but a milk shake none the less. The taste is pretty good too. Works well for me! :-)

How often did you take the pickle juice & for how long? Hourly for 7 days? Once a day? 3x a week? I have the same symptoms as the lady in Montana & am dying-feel like I can hardly do anything ( especially in the am)... Anyway I love pickles so this will be easy! Please help me with dosage?

It sounds like Crohn's disease. My sister suffers from this, so I am somewhat familiar with what you're going through. Unfortunately, my sister hasn't found any natural treatment for it and is on medication. I guess it's not the best thing for your body, but it stops the diarrhea and at least she can eat a normal diet. I wish you the best.

i had the same thing, lasted for a couple years. i lost weight like crazy and my family finally forced me to go to the doctor. He wanted to put me on hormone therapy and anti-depressants!! The only thing I was depressed about was having diarrhea 24/7. !!! SOOO, I came home, got on the internet, and read every thing i could find about bowel problems. I discovered probiotics was one thing that helped me. Of course I asked God to help me in my search, and He did. Suggest you do the same. Believe me, I know what you are going through. Hope this helps.

Hi Suzanne, Agree with you on the treatment but suggest sticking with clear juices and water or tea. Can't recommend anyone to drink broths because most all the broths or bulloin used to make your own are laden with that neurotoxin or excitotoxin monosodium glutmate. Also advise staying away from any diet drinks because of another neurotoxin (aspartame) in them.

Oh yes. PLEASE stay away from diet drinks of any kind! Homemade broth isn't hard to make. I have also discovered that I can eat rice, so I don't have to starve for 24 hours!

Curing diarrhea is NOT so simple. Bloody diarrhea is life threatening. Bloody diarrhea must be treated with cinnamon, and/or other antifungals, such as garlic cloves, tea tree oil, and coconut oil. Also problems may exist in the persons ketheric template and chakras from past life, (or current one).

Thanks for the information, I didn't know about the Turmeric or the flour either but right now I am drinking a drink made of white clay. You mix two tbspoons of white clay in 1l of water, let it set for 2 hours and then drink a few glasses a day of the water without mixing with the clay again or else you might get too much. It helps me..... Next time I will try Turmeric. It is interesting that flour works as well!

China Brown sugar is effective for diarrhea, vomit and stomache.

Blueberries are effective for severe diarrhea. China brown sugar is useful for diarrhea too.

Dear Earth Clinic - Last week I had an awful stomach flu (throwing up, diahrea). The vomiting stopped, but the 'hrea stayed around all day. I found the tumeric cure on Earth Clinic. I remembered a friend told me about it years ago, so I tried 1/2 teaspoon tumeric in a cup of hot water. It didn't taste that badly (maybe I'm used to taking herbs). I had one or 2 more loose stools, but the 'hrea stopped and I was able to start hydrating properly again. I recommend it.

I have been experiencing very rough diarrhea the past week, and haven't been able to sleep in four days because I was kept away from my bed. I saw the remedy of cinnamon and made my own meal, simple toast with cinnamon sugar on top, and immediately my internal system calmed down. It's a very easy process that has helped me get back into a routine life.

I would like to know how much cinnamon on toast Jeff took and if there was anything else he did. I am having diarrhea with fever & am being treated for bladder infection.I am on antibiotics and I am trying to treat diarrhea naturaly. Appreciate comment.

It really works! After trying everything I could get my hands on, and six days of constant diarrhea, I tried the turmeric - and within hours I am back on track. Thanks for saving me the Doctor bills. I used one teaspoon in an 8 oz glass of warm water. Had to hold my nose to get it down but it was worth it.

Does one drink the broken up pieces of cinnamon stick or just steep them?

Thank you for that helpful info but does Biotin help with diarrhea as well?

I love this website! I added some Tumeric Powder with water and stuck it in the microwave for about a 1 min. I drank it as quickly as I could before it became cold again, and it cured the diarrhea instantly!

Hi One remedy I have used consistently since childhood is one I learnt from my mother. Its a simple South-Indian remedy.

Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds in a pan till it starts popping. Once it starts popping nicely and starts giving out smoke, add half glass of water and let it boil for a few minutes. Cool and filter the liquid. Drinking this pale yellow liquid has been the most effective cure for diarhhea that I have seen. You can repeat it once more.
