5 out of 5 stars

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.

I'd been making 'golden tea' (1 tsp turmeric, half tsp each of ground black pepper, cinnamon and half tsp of honey, all blended together into hot milk and boiled on the stove for a few minutes) for help ease COPD (non smoker! ) but hadn't made it in a couple of weeks.

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!
