Home Remedies For Diarrhea

Question:
Is there any home remedies for diarrhea and if so what are they?

Answer: Drink plenty of water and clear liquids to prevent dehydration.

Avoid milk, citrus fruits, alcohol, and high-fiber foods for a day or two after having diarrhea; eat bland foods, such as bananas and white rice.

When traveling to suspect areas, eat only cooked foods. Avoid ice cubes and use bottled water, even for brushing your teeth.

You can eliminate most risks with a few commonsense practices: Wash your hands with warm water and soap before preparing foods or after handling raw meats. Defrost foods only in the refrigerator or microwave; marinate meats only in the refrigerator. Wash plates and utensils used with raw poultry or meat before using them for cooked meats or other foods. Promptly refrigerate all leftovers.

Supplements -Blackberry/Raspberry Leaf : As a tea, 1 cup up to 6 times a day. Use 1 tbsp. of leaves per cup of hot water; let it steep for 15 minutes and strain. Drink throughout the day as needed.

Psyllium : 1-3 tbsp. powder dissolved in water or juice a day. Be sure to drink extra water throughout the day.

Acidophilus : 2 pills 3 times a day on an empty stomach. Get 1-2 billion live (viable) organisms per pill.

When to Call Your Doctor -If diarrhea persists for more than 48 hours.

If fever is higher than 101F and is accompanied by severe abdominal cramps; dizziness and light-headedness; or no urination.

If there is blood in the stool or stool is black.

If there are signs of dehydration, such as persistent thirst, dry lips, or sunken eyes.If diarrhea recurs often -- this could be a sign of a serious condition, such as colon disease
