Barley Water for Diarrhea
Kathleen (Chicago, Illinois) on 12/30/2009:
Briefly, I wanted to share with you a family remedy for diahrea. As an infant, my nephew had a severe case and mentioned it in front of my Irish immigrant grandmother. She suggested barley water. My sister, of course, ignored her and got a prescription which didn't work. She then tried barley water, and it worked like a charm. Barley water is simply boiling barley (you can buy it dried at the grocery store) and using the water. Do let it cool off a bit before you give to baby or anyone else for that matter!
