I love this site where I have found many alternative cures. For diarrhea, I toast in a pan, at low heat, two tablespoons of sesame seeds, when they are lightly toasted, I add a cup of water to the seeds, let them boil for three minutes, and then let them cool. Then I put through a strainer and drink the liquid. It helps without fail to stop the diarrhea. But, if you ate something bad, let the stomach clean itself for a day, then take the sesame seeds tea. Hope it helps.

I am diabetic and for some reason not clear to me, eating too much, but also clearly a side effect of metformin, gives me bad diarrhea. This simple remedy is great to stop it.
I toast two tablespoons of sesame seeds when they are a little brown, and yes they pop! Then add half a glass of water. Boil for a minute or two, cool off, pass through a colander, and drink.
One time I had the seeds with me, but couldn't toast them, so I just ate them. It worked too!

Hi One remedy I have used consistently since childhood is one I learnt from my mother. Its a simple South-Indian remedy.
Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds in a pan till it starts popping. Once it starts popping nicely and starts giving out smoke, add half glass of water and let it boil for a few minutes. Cool and filter the liquid. Drinking this pale yellow liquid has been the most effective cure for diarhhea that I have seen. You can repeat it once more.
