    No " remedy" as such other than Immodium from the pharmacy, drink plenty of water,keep yourself hydrated .

    Imodium works for me.Grated apple also is an old home recipe.Drink plenty of water as you will be dehydrated & that makes you feel worse.

    Bismuth, the main ingredient in Pepto Bismal as well as extra fluids


    The body disposed of a lot of liquids when on has diarrhea to expels the organism attacking the digestive track


    I'm not a Doctor, but played one in Summer theater, back in my college days   ;)

    Good one ROMOS.

    The "BRAT" diet, bananas, rice, apple juice, and toast. It works on toddlers..........

    Bananas, though great for potassium are very high in sugar and sugar aid the production of diarrhea. Too much apple juice can do the same as it is also high in sugar. Boiled chicken and rice is good. He needs to re-hydrate so water is best.

    My sister, the nurse, always recommended the BRAT diet........

    And? This does not make her correct. Too much sugar feeds the diarrhea. Look it up. Besides, JDB is an adult, not a child. The way he digests foods is going to be different than that of a toddler. These foods could cause problems for him.

    I have always heard the BRAT diet is the one to use. Actually, none of use are qualified to give medical advice. We just do our best. I hope I didn’t hurt any feelings here.

    My sister corrected me, it's apple SAUCE, not apple juice. Juice will make it worse. Thank you for your comment @Itsmee.....

    Chicken and rice for eating and drink loads of water so you wont get dehydrated and if that doesnt work see your doctor also immodiume realy works for my Hubby good luck hope you feel better soon x

    An old wine cork always did the trick for me..

    Don,t point your a$$ at me when you need to blow...WHooooofff....lol..KOTF.

    If you drink black coffee, it will stop the diarrhea temporarily. Whenever you get the urge to go to the toilet, drink black coffee. A relative, who is a doctor, told me this years ago. Believe me, it works, but just remember, it is not a cure and if it continues, you should consult a doctor.


    I have travelled through Asia many times and have ended at some point with a dose of diarrhea.

    itsmee

    Chiangmai is going to Asia (off topic)

    Stop reading this site, that should be a good starter.

    Try cheese and bananas they have tendicy to bind, most likely go from Diarrhea to Constipation. lol.

    That's better...haha

    Immodium AD works pretty well, you can also try a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg, small amount of sugar, and some warm water.


    Stay away from sugary drinks.


     


     

    Immodium,an  Otc drug,BRAT diet,bananas,rice,applesauce and tea. 

    itsmee

    thought it was toast
    fjoel

    to itsmee, your correct it is toast not tea,thanks.

    Peptobismol.

    My goodness... ALL these answers!!!

    There are the medicinal cures, and the natural cures.  Tea if the coffee upsets your tummy more. I'm with Julie on this one....the BRAT "diet" of Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast.  Of course, you don't gorge yourself on any of these items. Melandrupert has a good suggestion with rice and chicken...although that was prescribed for a dog we once had that had THEEEEE worst gassss in the world. 
    Sure hope you feel better soon.   

    Thanks to all of you, I think its finally starting to subside today, Its been a miserable 2 1/2 days. I tried a few things that were listed on here early,  so I'm not sure  if anything worked or if it just ran its course. Thanks again, By the way daren 1,, I need a new toilet now..lol

    and something GENTLE for your booty
