The best (most natural) remedy is teaspoon mixture of water and a bit of corn starch. This will work almost immediately. Not too much or else it will constipate you! If you have chronic diarrhea, however, please see your doctor! ~ T Answer MEDICATION for diarrhea include- "Pepto-Bismal" (Bismuth subsalicylate) and "Imodium" (Loperamide hydrochloride"). My suggestion is TWO 2mg. tabs of "Imodium" (generic is cheaper!) at the first loose stool. Drink plenty of water and take ONE 2mg. tab at next loose stool; NOT TO EXCEED FOUR tabs. in 24 hr. Good Luck!! There is a specific medication called Imodium which is made to stop Diarrhea. It is over the counter and does work.. another way is just to stay away from milk and milk products and have some binding foods, rice, potatoes, etc: which will help bind you.
Diarrhea is the passing of loose or liquid stool, more often than normal. Medicines for diarrhea that is not caused by parasites generally contain clay (kaolin) such as Kaopectate (R) to thicken it up.
You don't necessarily need medicine if you have diarrhea.
White rice is commonly used to combate diarrhea since without its brown husk, it contains no fibre. As such it tends to sit in the colon and not move. It's also sticky.
It's important not to eat too much rice after a bout of diarrhea since rice is heavy and the colon when empty is like an empty plastic bag. The weight of the rice can cause a twist in the colon preventing any further movement of fecal matter towards the rectum and exit. As pressure accumulates, it creates upward pressure on the heart and if not corrected surgically, results in fatal heart failure.
Used intelligently rice is a very effective cure for diarrhea to the point where it can also be used for the same problem with dogs and cats.
If the problem persists, you should see a doctor since dehydration from diarrhea can be fatal.
Diarrhea up until 1900 was the number one cause of death in developed countries. Diarrhea is caused by food and water poisoning. It is much less common now due to better water treatment facilities in urbanized areas and modern refrigeration.
