I have had diarrhea every morning for a year and a half. Then I remembered that my mother use to give my brother diarrhea whenever he got it. I started to eat it at night before bed time, and it works. No more diarrhea in the morning. Cream of Wheat takes up water, and that is no doubt why it works. If you have it all day, eat it as often as necessary.

Searching Earth Clinic for something to halt my diarrhea this guy said his mom recommended Cream of Wheat. It would absorb the extra moisture. Then I read about cinnamon as a cure and read about various ways to use it. I decided to combine the two remedies and I make a serving of cream of wheat and I covered it in cinnamon; I probably used 2-3 tsp. I love cream of wheat, so it was painless to scoff this down. It has been 25 minutes. Before I took the remedy I was in the bathroom every 15 minutes or so and my stomach was rumbling so loudly; I never heard it sound so awful!! Now, 25 minutes later there is an occasional low sounding rumble and so far I have not run to the bathroom...no urgency!!

This remedy makes sense; absorbing the excess water causing the diarrhea, and the cinnamon has amazing healing qualities. It was used in the "old days" as a diarrhea/upset stomach remedy, an anti viral/fungal and it helps to treat UTI. I can not contest to these as I have not proven the results. But as for the UTI, that is how I got the diarrhea in the first place. My doctor put on one antibiotic that I was allergic to and then changed the medicine. My stomach was all out of wack and UTI is not gone~! I will keep taking the cinnamon and report that back later. My stomach is calmed down, I do not have cramping and rumbling. No bathroom trips in more than an hour. I am going to bed to get some sleep. And bravo to earth clinic for being there ONCE AGAIN in a middle of the night emergency. I love this website; advice you can rely on (take what you want and leave the rest). Sweet Dreams...Elaine in Chicago.

Diarrhea Remedies

Posted by Sasha (Uk) on 08/17/2013

Well, I've just had an MRI scan and I had to take some stuff that would show up during the scan. The side effects are yes, you've guessed it, diarrhea! Perhaps I've got a particularly sensitive gut but I didn't find the turmeric worked for me, nor the cider vinegar nor the cinnamon and apple cider vinegar. I'll try the stewed cooking apple and cinnamon and see how that goes. It's got to get better as I've got to do a hydrogen breath test when the 'd' finishes?.Wish me luck and more.

For the last few days, I have been taking a heaped teaspoon of food grade Diatomaceous Earth, stirred into a glass of water, first thing every morning ...

The chronic diarrhea, with which I have suffered for years, is already much less virulent ...

I have enjoying normal & comfortable bowel movements, of well formed stools, for the first time in much too long .........

I had problems with loose stools and the runs - I just took my food grade diatomaceous earth 1 tsp mixed in water 2x a day - and worked my way up to 1 tbsp in the am and within 2 weeks, problem completely resolved. This stuff has a constipation effect - which is great for the runs. I carry a small bag of this stuff when I travel overseas. Great stuff!

Curing diarrhea is so simple! Just do a clear liquid diet for 24 hours and you'll be fine again. No weird ingredients, no doses to take, just drink clear juices or broths and NO FOOD for 24 hours. My mother used to recommend sipping a rehydration solution of 1 pint water to 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt, stirred, but I can't say that I have noticed anything wonderful about that.

Hi Suzanne, Agree with you on the treatment but suggest sticking with clear juices and water or tea. Can't recommend anyone to drink broths because most all the broths or bulloin used to make your own are laden with that neurotoxin or excitotoxin monosodium glutmate. Also advise staying away from any diet drinks because of another neurotoxin (aspartame) in them.

Oh yes. PLEASE stay away from diet drinks of any kind! Homemade broth isn't hard to make. I have also discovered that I can eat rice, so I don't have to starve for 24 hours!

Curing diarrhea is NOT so simple. Bloody diarrhea is life threatening. Bloody diarrhea must be treated with cinnamon, and/or other antifungals, such as garlic cloves, tea tree oil, and coconut oil. Also problems may exist in the persons ketheric template and chakras from past life, (or current one).

I have tried over and again to send you info for curing diarrhea, cholera, but can't get it to go. It just comes back and wants me to re-enter the code. In gist if you'd like to check this out yourself. Cure for diarrhea/cholera is maintaining osmotic pressure/electrolytes. In 1 quart of water add I tablespoon of sugar (any sweet would do, maple syrup, honey, etc.,) and 1 teaspoon of salt. Drink continually until the infection has passed. This will save lives. Love your website. Great info! Sherie in TN

When I was growing up my mom had a great way to stop diarrhea. Mix a teaspoon or two of flour in a glass of water until smooth and drink it down. It will be about the consistancy of Maalox so don't gulp. Chase it with a glass of water. You can take a second dose after about 3 hours if needed, but usually only takes one dose.

I have no idea of the cause but I had terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. Tried several natural remedies and nothing worked. Ate several pieces of candied ginger, laid down to rest for a bit and all cramping and diarrhea ceased within 20 minutes. Amazing!

I had chronic diarrhea and loose stools. Tried fiber, digestive enzynmes, apple cider vinegar, probiotics, nothing. Reading Ted's post on granulated soy lecithin I tried it, but I didn't try it as a remedy for diarrhea. I started taking one tablespoon in the morning and evening before meals and it did wonders. The second day of this regimen I had 5 solid bowel movements. After that my bowels, which I couldn't trust, are now normal.

Also, consider taking granulated soy lecithin first if coconut oil gives you bowel issues and you want to experiment with coconut oil.

Thank you EarthClinic, I sent Ted a donation in thanks for his effort and sharing of wisdom.

Ground Flaxseed

This method is for diarrhea caused by IBS, as I have not tried it for any other kind, and don't know that it would work. I started taking one tablespoon of ground flaxseed (same as flaxseed meal), in the morning and one in the evening. At first it didn't help, so I gave it more time, and after about a month (will be different for different peole probably), I have really noticed that things have improved.

For as long as I remember I have had loose stools every day, and at least twice a day. (Sorry if tmi.. ) But a month into taking flaxseed I have firm stools for the first time in ages! It's remarkable how it has helped.

Most people think of ground flaxseed as a laxative, and it apparently will get you moving if tend towards constipation, but it seems to do this by bulking up your stool, (making it less hard). And in the same way it stops too loose stools by bulking them up and making them more solid. (Apologies again for the detail I am going into. Not sure how else to explain it! )

I'm very happy with it. It's meant to contain loads of vitamins and minerals and to be really good for all sorts of disorders. I'm really happy with it, and will be taking it for a long time!

Just to update, this is still working. Not only has it completely changed my bowel movements from soft/watery and frequent to properly-formed and normal, it has also reduced the bad stomach pains I was suffering on a regular basis. This pain was especially bad in the weeks before my period and was put down to a mix of IBS and endometriosis. Either way, I have just had an almost pain-free month. I can't quite believe it, it's been so easy! Will carry on with the flaxseed and update this again in a few months to ensure that this hasn't just been a fluke. :)

Was wondering if you are still taking the ground flaxseed for loose stools? My 82 year old mother is having severe issues in this area and am going to start her on this.

Dear Jayne, thank you for the information about the ground flaxseed...I stopped buying it about two years and that is when I started having irritable bowel syndrome ..I am 72 so I chalked this to getting older..I began noticing that soon after I ate dinner I would literally run to the bathroom and many times not make it in time and have to change my clothes...but today, after a particularly bad round of diarrhea I came to this site ( EC ) and found where apple cider vinegar has really helped many people and then I read your testimony and so I am going to start back on ground flaxseed..I am so happy I came across your remedy and did you know that a 1/2 of ground flaxseed daily really shrinks tumors down to nothing in time?

I had chronic diarrhea for 15 years without knowing the cause. I was depleted of minerals to the point of losing hair/eyelashes, muscle and joint pain and lack of energy to the point I was bedridden for quite awhile. After hearing some information on HCl with Pepsin, I decided to give it a try according to the protocol of 1 at each meal of cooked food and increasing by 1 capsule at each consecutive meal until stomach burn is detected and then backing off by 1 capsule. Within 24 hours, my chronic fatigue was gone and within 30 days, my aches and pain were also gone. I have wondered if anyone else has given Hydrochloric Acid supplements (capsules only with Pepsin) a try? It worked for me since my digestive system was not able to break down minerals necessary for bioavailability. I have since given up all grains (wheat, rye, barley and oats) and have eliminated my chronic diarrhea of 15.

Lugo'ls Iodine is absolutely the BEST thing ever for diarrhea. Seriously, I've suffered off and on all my life with diarrhea episodes and have recently discovered that if I take 3 to 6 drops of Lugols in water my diarrhea will stop almost immediately! Works for food poisoning too! You must order on-line tho cause you can't buy that kind of iodine at drug stores any more thanks to FDA!

Dr. Hulda Clark said, “Six drops of Lugol's solution can end it all for Salmonella. If you have gas and bloating, pour yourself 1/2 glass of water. Add 6 drops of Lugol's (not more, not less), stir with wood or plastic, and drink all at once. The action is noticeable in an hour. Take this dose 4 times a day, after meals and at bedtime, for 3 days in a row, then as needed. This eradicates even a stubborn case of Salmonella.
