Diarrhea and Chronic Diarrhea Natural Cures
http://www.blissful-wisdom.com/diarrhea-and-chronic-diarrhea-natural-cures.html
While spending time in India, on and off, for over 15 years, I discovered the natural cures for diarrhea which usually resulted from unclean drinking water or some form of food poisoning. Having the 'trots' is nature's way of removing unwanted ingested matter from the body. Frequent loose or liquid bowel movements are most commonly caused by viral infections, parasites or bacterial toxins. However, when the diarrhea goes on for more than a few days, then one must seriously consider stopping the process or else life-threatening dehydration and loss of necessary electrolytes will ensue. In poorer countries, death is often a result of untreated diarrhea.
Electrolytes are charged particles called ions that are dissolved in water. The most important electrolytes in your body are potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, hydrogen phosphate and hydrogen carbonate. Your body, and your neurons and muscles in particular, depend on the right balance of electrolytes in your body.
How to Make a Homemade Drink with Electrolytes

However, use sea salt, fresh squeezed orange or lemon, organic baking soda, and unpasteurized honey instead of sugar and artificial sweeteners when making your own electrolyte drink.
Recommendations when diarrhea is apparent:
* Hold off on solid foods for 12 to 24 hours. Avoid whole grain cereals, raw fruits, and vegetables.
* Drink lots of clear liquids. Diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration. Good beverage choices
include water, herbal teas, homemade electrolyte drinks, and diluted vegetable juices. Full-strength fruit juice can aggravate diarrhea. And milk is best avoided because you’ll likely have trouble digesting it.
*Bananas, active-culture yogurt, and low-fiber grains such as white rice are good choices.
In India, it was common to stop the loose stools by eating rice, yogurt, and bananas mixed together. Sounds strange, but it worked.
If the diarrhea is chronic, one must check for viral, bacterial or parasite infestations. There are now simple herbal tablets, such as "Organika Para-Free", which, by ingesting regularly over a period of 30 to 40 days will create an environment within the body which is non-supportive of parasite reproduction. It is a remedy which is well worth the minor $ investment. It requires a simple regimen of taking two tablets, 1/2 hour before meals. Parasites can exist in our bodies for years and eventually manifest as health concerns such as digestive upset, skin irritations, nutrient deficiency, and more. Often poor drinking water is the culprit, but contaminated food and unclean house-pets can also pass on parasites.

By the way, I am not affiliated with these products in any way.
Use live culture yogurt, or 'pro-biotic' tablets daily:
Lactobacilli are a type of bacteria normally found in the intestines. Studies show that taking various strains of lactobacilli can help prevent cases of , and improve recovery from, diarrhea caused by a virus called rotavirus. They work in several ways: by out-competing undesirable bacteria and preventing “bad” bacteria from clinging to the intestinal lining, by strengthening local immune response in the gut, and by stimulating white blood cells. Long-term use of probiotics lowers the risk of infection by H. pylori and development of ulcers. Common sources of probiotics are organic yogurt, miso, or tempeh. We use New Roots "Acidophilus Ultra", a probiotic tablet containing 11 billion live active cells of 10 different cultures. And the capsules are 'enteric-coated' to make it past the stomach into the digestive tract.

You can ingest these good bacteria when you eat active-culture yogurt or kefir (a yogurt drink). Just make sure the fine print on the label says the product contains live cultures. Or, take a pro-biotic supplement, usually in the form of Lactobacilli acidophilus, with every meal. This will replenish your good bacteria within your intestinal tract.
For elderly persons who seem to have persistent loose or liquid stools, it could be due to specific pharmaceutical medications hampering the digestive process....it could be due to an undiagnosed parasitic condition. In either case, I have discovered (while assisting with my mother's health care over the years) that the pro-biotic tablets taken at meal time briough back the proper consistency to her stools. In the meantime, by adding 1/2 teaspoon of "psyllium husk powder" to her puree'd meals it will help to give a "firmer" consistency to her stools...and thus, is far easier to deal with on a daily basis. It is usually available at any health food store. http://www.lifesource4life.com/psyllium.htm
At the first sign of diarrhea these are recommended remedies:
http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/diarrhea.html
Of the following remedies, the one most preferred was two tblsp. apple cider vinegar mixed with a glass of water.
-Bobbi from Auburn, California writes: "At the first sign of gastro-intestinal upset take 1/3 cup of pure, aloe vera juice. Relieves diarrhea and associated cramping within 15 minutes."
- Crista from Pekin, Illinois ... and Odilon from Palm Coast, Fl write: "Raw Activated Charcoal capsules, works like a dream for diarrhea, in hours not days." Take two capsules with meals.
-Janikaye from Bloomington, Mn writes: "The stomach flu ran one by one through every person in our family and it lasted for days. Eventually the throwing up stopped but I still had a terrible case of diarrhea and my stomach was gurgling constantly and full of gas. Very painful--even my ribs ached. So on day number five of this, I took my apple cider vinegar (with the mother). I used 2 Tablespoons mixed with some water. At first I wondered if it was helping, then I realized yes, it's getting somewhat better. The diarrhea stopped and so did all the gurgling. I took a second dose of the organic apple cider vinegar before bed and then next morning when I woke up, even the gas was gone.
