Diarrhea can be caused by indigestion, food poisoning, emotional stress, legumes, pancreatic disease, cancer, laxatives, acidulants, caffeine, parasites, colitis, viruses, germs, or other microorganisms, drinking unclean water, eating spoiled food, and food or chemical allergies.
Patients with diarrhea must drink plenty of fluids, such as saline, carob tea, carrot juice, and green drinks (which contain chlorophyll). If the situation does not improve, or if there is blood in the feces, it is important to see a doctor. An allergy test can be done to find out if you are allergic to a certain food.
Home remedies
●Drink plenty of water
Diarrhea patients must be hydrated with large amounts of water when their bodies become severely dehydrated and electrolyte disorders occur due to heavy bowel movements. Rehydration salts containing sodium chloride, potassium chloride and glucose, sodium citrate are ideal because they can replenish the body's loss of glucose, minerals, and regulate potassium, sodium electrolytes, water acid-base balance; and carrot juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc. not only replenish the water, but also replenish the essential vitamins, which is also a good supplement. They are all good remedies to prevent dehydration and defecation of the organism due to diarrhea.
●Do not rush to take medication
Unless the diarrhea is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, or severe diarrhea produces complications, ordinary diarrhea does not require medication to treat it, and its symptoms usually do not last more than 48 hours. Therefore, do not use medication to stop diarrhea for at least two days, as diarrhea is the body's way of eliminating toxins. Today, doctors mostly discourage the use of antidiarrheal agents when a patient has acute diarrhea, unless there is some other urgent need to control it. Otherwise, it may be more beneficial to let it drain and speed recovery.
●Check the medications used
Diarrhea can sometimes be related to medications you take, such as an acidifier that condenses heartburn. Acidulants are the medications that most often cause diarrhea. To avoid heartburn-related diarrhea, it's recommended to use an acidifier that contains only aluminum hydroxide. In addition to acidulants, medications such as antibiotics, quinidine, and colchicine (an anti-gout medication) may also cause diarrhea. If you suspect that these or other medications are giving you diarrhea, you should ask your physician.
●Go with the flow
Many people like to treat diarrhea with pectin, acidophilus, carob powder, barley, bananas, Rituyu cheese, and an assortment of odd foods. These things constrain the intestines and slow down their peristalsis. But in reality, this only prolongs the time the source of the problem stays in the body; what you really need is to get the substance that triggered the diarrhea out of the body, and the best way to do that is still to let nature take its course.
●Stay out of the kitchen
It's not a good idea to cook for your family during a bout of diarrhea, and you should do so until the symptoms are gone. Remember to wash your hands after using the toilet to avoid spreading germs to others.
Diet and Nutritional Remedies
● Drink 3 bowls of rice soup a day
Rice soup is beneficial in treating diarrhea. Boil 3 cups of water with ? cup of brown rice for 45 minutes, strain and drink 3 bowls a day. Also, eating rice can help form stools and provide vitamin b.
●Take charcoal tablets
Take 4 charcoal tablets with water every hour until things improve. Use in the evening. Never combine with other vitamins or medications.
● Eat a light diet
During diarrhea, you should eat a light, liquid diet, such as chicken broth or other clear liquids. This is because during diarrhea, your intestines need plenty of rest. Once you're sure the chicken broth is okay, gradually add rice, yogurt (with good bacteria), lettuce, and other easy-to-digest foods to your diet while your symptoms improve.
●Avoid the following foods
The most important foods to avoid when you have diarrhea include beans and kale. Other foods that contain large amounts of carbohydrates that are not easily absorbed can also worsen diarrhea. These include fats, wheat and gluten-containing foods such as bread, pasta and other flour products, apples, pears, plums, corn, oats and potatoes. Avoid carbonated beverages, which contain gas that may add fuel to your diarrhea.
●Replenish minerals
Take kelp powder capsules, five a day, or eat kelp soup to replenish minerals. Take 100 milligrams of potassium daily to replace lost potassium.
●Sterilize with garlic

●Be careful with milk crystals
Lactose intolerance is an important cause of dysentery. Lactose intolerance can occur in infancy, or it can appear suddenly in adulthood. If when you drink milk you then experience gas and abdominal pain followed by diarrhea, you may be allergic to lactose. The best remedy is, of course, to avoid foods that contain lactose, which means staying away from most dairy products, with the exception of yogurt and certain aged cheeses. When you avoid these foods, the diarrhea stops naturally.
●Testing Methods
Since lactose intolerance is related to how much or how little of a dose you get, and because it has a tendency to come on suddenly, how can you tell if your diarrhea is related to lactocrystals? One way is to have the patient completely abstain from dairy for 1 to 2 weeks to see if that helps. If stopping dairy really works, the patient can then gradually add milk crystal back into the diet. In the meantime, when the amount of dairy reaches a certain level, lactose intolerance will return. Therefore, you will avoid diarrhea if you take dairy at no more than this dosage.
●Natural Herbs
If occasional diarrhea occurs, try blackberry root, chamomile tea, and raspberry leaf. You can also add medicinal plants to applesauce, bananas, wind pears, or wood dish juice. Take fenugreek capsules or fenugreek leaf tea two to three times a day. Ginger tea is beneficial for cramps and abdominal pain. Slippery elm bark is also good, 6 capsules or 3 teaspoons of slippery elm bark powder per 8 ounces of water.
