Just today, I developed unbearable diarrhea out of the blue so came hunting in here for a remedy and found this.
Never thought of using just plain Turmeric in hot water but after tie first sip, I'll never use anything else again.
Yes, it stopped diarrhea instantly but was also far superior in helping me breathe freely again rather than the 'golden tea' hot milk concoction.
And nope, it doesn't taste brilliant (like Laney above so accurately described, 'tastes like peppery mud going down') but considering it's immediate relief, I really don't care about taste.
Thanks for sharing that Laney!

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. Gnar (San Francisco, Ca) on 08/30/2017:

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....

I was taking the dreaded antibiotic, Clindamycin, which is legendary in it's reputation for not only horrible diarrhea, but also C. Diff as well. Anyway, I was starving becuase I basically crapped everything out all night. And, I decided to instead add 2 tablespoons of turmeric to my meal. Meal being: fried fish, collard greens, and mac and cheese... yup soul food..lol.
Ok, so I eat my meal with the turmeric added and voila! Like magic no diarrhea. And, most of all, the food tasted even better with it!
Also, for people who are having trouble drinking water with turmeric due to taste, you can also try making a wonderfully smooth and tasty turmeric drink using Almond Milk. Warm up your almond mik a little bit in the microwave first, then add 1 tablespoon of turmeric after you warmed the milk and umm hmm good! Tasty and no more diarrhea!
God Bless Earth Clinic!

I have also used it when I've eaten something bad (one night both hubby and I had steak that wasn't quite right, developed diarrhea early the next morning, took Turmeric and within 30 mins both of us were able to continue on our day) I mix between 1/2 to 1 tsp with very hot water, and let the turmeric sink to the bottom. I then drink the orange coloured water that remains, and have yet to have had this remedy NOT work. It's definitely on my list of go to remedies for intestinal ailments!!
Earthclinic has become my go to source for when I'm not feeling well!! Thanks!

WHAT WE DID
I simply said to her, let's try some tumeric. I have seen that work before for diarrhea, maybe it will work for you too.
We mixed half a tsp of tumeric into about a 5 ounce glass of water. I told her to mix it well with the teaspoon and then drink fast as it tends to quickly settle on the bottom.
"It tastes like dirt!" she said. "It isn't that bad!" I retorted with a chuckle. Then she drank about another 3-4 ounces of water as a chaser.
THE RESULTS
About 2 hours later we heard some good news from my sister-in-law. No more diarrhea! She was most impressed (and not to mention relieved!) that a simple herb could help - and fast!
Ok, that's it, just 1/2 a tsp of tumeric and 2 hours later - relief! Hope this info. helps someone else.
Cheers.
P.S. We used organic tumeric in powdered form.
