ACV for diarrhea, relief might be a few hours
I just wanted to point out that while many posters found immediate relief from using ACV to stop their diarrhea, but this is not always the case.
After having symptoms for 3 days, I finally clued-in to what may be causing it; the fried chicken I'd eaten 1pc of every day. Doh. So I of course came here to read others' experiences with ACV and diarrhea relief, while drinking my cup of ACV and waiting for relief. I did experience quick relief in my tummy & bowels, but it did not instantly stop the diarrhea. I ended up drinking 2 Tbsp of ACV in a coffee cup of really cold water AND 1 packet of stevia. This was very palatable and refreshing. I ended up having 2 more cups that day, but still had it the next morning, but to a way lesser extent. So I have chugged another cup this morning and will see what happens. But I am so grateful to my ACV for getting me feeling better and ambulatory, both almost immediately - but it still took another 24 hrs (so far) to stop it completely. My point is: don't give up. This will help you cuz ACV is a miracle from our Maker, swear to Heavens.
Healthy healing, everyone.
Lemon Waterfor Diarrhea Helpyourself (Texas) on 02/13/2023
For diarrhea: Lemon water. I have found that drinking lemon water has stopped my 6 months of diarrhea. This is amazing. One 16 oz water bottle( drink some to make room for juice), squeeze one fresh lemon, pour into water bottle. Sip all day. Then do this again the next day and sip on this one bottle for 2 days. Keep making one bottle last 2days and always drink with a straw as to not damage teeth. Best results after about two weeks. This drink also alkalizes your body. Lemon turns into an alkaline after ingested.
Bonus: sleeping through the night.
Sesame Seed Remedy for Diarrhea Marilú (Houston , TX) on 12/11/2022
I love this site where I have found many alternative cures. For diarrhea, I toast in a pan, at low heat, two tablespoons of sesame seeds, when they are lightly toasted, I add a cup of water to the seeds, let them boil for three minutes, and then let them cool. Then I put through a strainer and drink the liquid. It helps without fail to stop the diarrhea. But, if you ate something bad, let the stomach clean itself for a day, then take the sesame seeds tea. Hope it helps.
Radish Cure for Diarrhea Katherine (Vacaville, CA) on 11/04/2022
I ate something that my body didn't like and immediately got diarrhea that lasted for two weeks. I tried many other suggestions on here that didn't work including 2 Tbs ACV, even though it has worked before, but eating one radish stopped it!!!! I read that the radish is a super food and good for digestion It has so many other benefits too. It was my miracle cure! Look it up!
Turmeric for Diarrhea Laney (TN) on 03/19/2022
My children caught a highly contagious norovirus from the schools. Within 24 hours, everyone had liquids coming out of both ends, and nothing would stop it...imodium, acv, electrolytes, activated charcoal...all of it did NOTHING to slow this down. In desperation, I experimented on myself with 1 teaspoon of turmeric in a cup of hot water. I wasn't even halfway through the cup when I felt the spasms start to slow, and then stop altogether. Literally minutes before I had been drinking gatorade on the toilet, and it was coming out my back end just as fast. The turmeric takes minutes to work. It's now been 12 hours, and everyone here is doing well. Not one mad dash to the bathroom all day. And mild carbs (rice, coconut water, and bananas) are staying down. It tastes like peppery mud going down, but it is sooooo worth it.

Sesame Seeds for Diarrhea from Diabetic Meds Malu (Texas) on 03/31/2021
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!

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.

Apple Cider Vinegar -
I had an issue where I was actually leaking water. I went on line and did some research and realized that it could be caused by either a virus or infection. I was going to make a doctors appointment but first visited Earthclinic where people were reporting good results with ACV. I took three tablespoons of ACV mixed in a cup with warm water and honey and within 15 minutes the gurgling in my bowel stopped. Took another one half an hour later then went to bed.
Woke up the next morning and had a smooth bowel movement with no excess water. Half an hour later had another similar BM. Nice and smooth. Problem solved. Thanks to Earthclinic and everyone who posted.

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.

Apple Cider Vinegar works for diarrhea.
I developed terrible runs from antibiotics..Runs lasted two weeks with no help in site except for over the counter temporary fixes.. Read the post about ACV and tried it out full strength three times a day ..After two days, I'm happy again, things are back to normal.. It's not an immediate fix so just keep doing ACV until the breakthrough.. Thanks be to God and thank you all for the recommendation..
Apple Cider Vinegar for Diarrhea from Food Poisoning Katie (Wisconsin) on 02/20/2018
I was hit with some kind of stomach bug/virus and initially thought it was food poisoning. Just diarrhea and very tired. No vomiting but some nausea. Duration was about 2-1/2 days of straight bathroom, followed by 1-1/2 days of slowly recovering. For 48 hours I ate nothing. I added a teaspoon of ACV to a glass of water and was extremely nervous that my stomach wouldn't respond well, but it handled it fine. I just wanted to lend my experience to reassure people that your stomach can handle it, even in a really fragile state. Just make sure it's diluted; a small bit in a large glass of water. I also had a few little sips of plain kefir.
Turmeric for Diarrhea Gnar (San Francisco, Ca) on 08/30/2017
Had a stomach bug from Mexico. Non-stop diarrhea. I took 1 tsp. turmeric in water, and 6 hours later mixed another tsp. in my dinner. Diarrhea continued until the turmeric had all passed the next day, then I was back to normal. Diarrhea is a side effect of turmeric, but turmeric is also antimicrobial, so as it runs through you it seems to kill any pathogens. Amazing stuff.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Diarrhea Chris (Dighton, Ma) on 07/11/2017
ACV does work for diarrhea. It acts very quickly. Starts you burping within 10 minutes. 1 tablespoon in 4 oz. of water. I used it 2 times a day.
Indigestion goes away almost immediately. It has to be the non filtered type of ACV.
Boiled Milk for Diarrhea Gus (Ireland) on 01/31/2017
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.
Apple Folk Remedy for Diarrhea Suseeq (Sydney, Australia) on 10/07/2016
An old fashioned cure for diarrhea is to peel an apple, throw away the peel, grate the flesh let it go brown, then eat. Especially good for children. The flesh takes on change which seems to cure the diarrhea. My passed mother in law told me this years ago and has always worked..
Coconut Macaroons Cures Diarrhea Kellison (Oregon) on 07/12/2016
Eat 3-4 (small) coconut macaroon cookies after your first episode and that will stop your diarrhea. I keep some in my freezer and just eat them when I need to. Works better than Imodium or anything else.
Apple Cider Vinegar Cured Chronic Case of Diarrhea! Bill F. (Maitland, New South Wales, Australia) on 07/12/2016
My wife had a case of chronic diahhroeah. In the past, with loose or runny motions, one or two junket tablets, taken with a glass of water has done the trick. This time, not so lucky and after three days, went to the chemist - still nothing worked.
Finally at 5.30am this morning, remembered this site and had a look - apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoons in a glass of water! My wife dislikes the taste of ACV, so I suggested she take it in a glass of flat lemonade. 15 minutes later - No diahhroeah. 10.30am had another dose and all seems fine.
Thank you Earth Clinic. Hope this helps someone else.
Milk for Diarrhea Lou (Tyler, Tx) on 02/13/2016
My mom's home remedy for diarrhea was to boil a cup of milk and drink it - no sugar. Hold your nose because it tastes awful. Let it cool down a bit first.
Diatomaceous Earth for Diarrhea Myway (Usa) on 01/31/2016
I had problems with loose stools and the runs - I just took my food grade diatomaceous earth 1 tsp mixed in water 2x a day - and worked my way up to 1 tbsp in the am and within 2 weeks, problem completely resolved. This stuff has a constipation effect - which is great for the runs. I carry a small bag of this stuff when I travel overseas. Great stuff!
MyWay :D
