TREAT DIARRHEA WITHOUT MEDICATION


If you have ever been to a tropical country, you have probably experienced diarrhea: frequent and uncontrolled evacuation of liquid stool caused by bacteria in local water, milk or food.
 
Diarrhea can also be caused at home by excesses in diet (a diet that is too rich) or an allergic reaction to certain foods or medication or even by stress.
 
To treat diarrhea, avoid all solid food on the first day. Drink liquids like water, apple juice, meat or vegetable boullion and tea. These will compensate for your loss of water - dehydration being one of the main dangers of diarrhea - and will give your intestines a period of rest.
 
If you have stomach cramps, rub your hands together for about a minute. Then place both palms on your abdominal region. The heat
will soothe the pain.
 
On the second day, eat small quantities of solid food. Among the least irritating are cooked cereals (especially rice), biscuits and soft
boiled eggs.

You can also try charcoal. It comes in tablet or capsule form (you can also get it off burnt toast!)
