I had a stomach virus and after 3 nights/days of diarrhea and stomach pain, I tried some over the counter drugs with no results. I was so desperate that I came across your website and I read the article on cinnamon tea. So I immediately tried it and it work about 3 hours after. So I continue to drink this tea for a few days and now I am perfect. Thanks for your information.

Apple Cider Vinegar

I had explosive diarrhoea for a period of 4 weeks travelling in China from Beijing to Xian. No chemicals did anything but treat the symptoms. Upon returning home and taking an anti-biotic the diarrhoe went from explosive to less explosive. Test came back a "virus". I was getting really down by this and starting trawling th intenet. I came upon this site and through I'd try the cider vinegar - what did I have to lose. After my first dose I felt a difference right away. My stomach felt "different". I continued with the cider vinegar and 3 months later, I am completely cured. It didn't happen overnight for me as I had 4 weeks in China to recover from. But I am so grateful for finding this site. I'm also thankful for all the comments that persuaded me to give it a try. Thanks to all those who posted comments as you certainly gave me the confidence to give it a go - your comments cured me!

Psyllium Husk

I suffered from chronic diarrhea and painful gas for two months after taking a 10-week course of Prevacid (a ppi). Stopping the medication didn't help and eating a simpler diet didn't help. I started taking a teaspoon of psyllium husk in a glass of water every day. Within 48 hours the diarrhea and most of the gas were gone. I plan to continue with the psyllium for a while. Thank goodness for small miracles!

after researching a lot of sites while literally having quick breaks to the toilet, i found that acidic item pop up in many forms, apple cida vinegar, vinegar.. but the first thing i tried was Lemon juice because it was the only acidic thing i had in the cupboard. God bless the person who showed me lemon juice. In a panic because i needed the toilet again, i drank about half a glass of lemon juice maybe bit under and sat on the toilet. It was around the 14th time today that i had been, when the 14th was done i sat there and drank it all and since then i sat for another 15mins and was satisfied enough that it did do something. and since then Im happy i had lemon juice. Give it a shot, you got sh-- to lose haha!

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!

Sesame Seeds

I am diabetic and for some reason not clear to me, eating too much, but also clearly a side effect of metformin, gives me bad diarrhea. This simple remedy is great to stop it.

I toast two tablespoons of sesame seeds when they are a little brown, and yes they pop! Then add half a glass of water. Boil for a minute or two, cool off, pass through a colander, and drink.

One time I had the seeds with me, but couldn't toast them, so I just ate them. It worked too!

Chronic diarrhea:

I used ACV and grinder tablets. I also used turmeric tablet. I went to my pharmacy and asked him what to do. He went to his refrigerator and got a probiotic and sold it to me. It contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium longum. I suffered with diarrhea for years on and off. I do not have it now. I take 1 tablet 2 times a week. I am glad to be done with it.

Parasite Cleanse for Chronic Diarrhea

Posted by Charity (faithville, Us) on 08/12/2021

Zinc boosts immune health and copper counterbalances zinc. Copper kills parasites. A good pumpkin cinnamon, clove, nutmeg treat would work wonders. Lemon and Ginger will help a lot for liver health and gut calming. I had c -diff once so I am very familiar with diarrhea. Barley water is said to help a lot. You are already suffering an extreme detox may be unwise. Another tip might be your body is trying to rid an imbalance. If you do a detox now you may really have a big problem. Electrolytes are key in diarrhea. Keep them in balance. I used a lot of Immodium.

Turmeric

I have had issues with soft stool for a couple of months, finally remember turmeric, and took it on Sunday November 3rd, in the afternoon. Had a decent firm movement that evening...felt great, had the turmeric before work the next day, another firm movement that day, same thing for tuesday a.m. wonderful feeling. Today, Wednesday, Nov 6th, I tested it by not taking any turmeric this a.m. before work, and had a small movement, a couple little ones is all that came out.

Later in the afternoon, I had some softstools although it seemed to try to firm up as I finished.

I'm going to get back to taking the warm water with a teaspoon of turmeric tonite, probably every day now....

Nutmeg

In my experience that much nutmeg is um, intoxicating. I would be careful with this one.

I just wanna help out humanity any way I can. Thanks, Joelle love earth clinic!!!!!

Ground Flaxseed

Posted by Jayne (London, Uk) on 02/18/2012

This method is for diarrhea caused by IBS, as I have not tried it for any other kind, and don't know that it would work. 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!
