Unfortunately, everyone experiences diarrhea on occasion. Here's how to treat diarrhea naturally.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

First it is important to know that if you are experiencing any signs of dehydration due to diarrhea, you should seek medical advice immediately. You may have a serious medical condition that needs attention ASAP. Children, the elderly and those with weak immune systems will suffer from dehydration quickly.
Step 2

Be sure to contact a doctor quickly if diarrhea persists, is excessive or contains blood and mucus. Three or more episodes a day is reason to call the doctor.
Step 3

Eat plenty of bananas. Bananas are a great source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Bananas also help regulate bowl movements with their high fiber content which makes this fruit the perfect food for times like this.
Step 4

Apple Sauce has been known for many generations to cure diarrhea. Apple Sauce contains vitamins, water and fiber.
Step 5

Carrot Juice in particular has been cited to be a cure for diarrhea. Drinking three glasses a day is advised. Fresh carrot juice is the best but bottled will work just fine.
Step 6

Drink plenty of fluids including fruit juices, sports drinks and decaffeinated teas. Avoid apple juice, carbonated sodas, coffee, dairy and alcoholic beverages which may aggravate diarrhea.
Step 7

Eat plain simple foods such as rice, toast, crackers and pretzels. Any foods that are saucy, spicy or fatty will cause diarrhea to increase.

on 8/24/2009 This is a very informative blog and I thank you so much for all the knowledge you are sharing with the world.
As one may be looking for the causes of diarrhea, it is also important to find out how to get rid of it. Because as we both know diarrhea which lasts about a week or more can become chronic and one must act upon it as quick as they can.

From my experiences with my children and my grandmother, I have always kept at home a jar of Nutritional Designs' "Nana Flakes".

Nutritional Designs Nana Flakes are 100% natural made from pure dried bananas. Nana flakes are a great tasting way to get the potassium you need, which is the natural way to control diarrhea and prevent heart burn!

You can use Nana Flakes to decrease the amount of fat in a recipe or to make great tasting banana smoothies, banana puree, thicken food and beverages, cake icing, and much more.

With Nana Flakes on...
