Natural remedies for severe diarrhea
When you have severe diarrhea, first thing you gotta do is visit your doctor. Your doctor will prescribe the necessary medication, run the tests and diagnose whatever the reason for the diarrhea is.
After that, go and buy your medication immediately, because you should take this condition seriously. Although it may seem like a normal thing, if your diarrhea doesn’t stop after you’ve taken the proper medication, then there’s something more serious going on with your health.
Next, of course, is avoid certain food that generally irritates the stomach. If there are particular foods that you know irritate your own stomach, strictly avoid them during this period. However, the most common diarrhea causers are: beans, broccoli, chickpeas, corn, peas, peppers and prunes. Also, spinach and cabbage can be quite risky for your stomach.
What you should eat instead is yogurt, steamed potatoes, bananas, double-baked white bread and drink a lot of mint tea (sugar-free, of course). The thing is, some of these foods act as probiotics, live bacteria that certain foods contain, like for example yogurt. Due to the fact that antibiotics kill off all the good bacteria in your intestine and cause your diarrhea, this probiotic restores the good bacteria and gives your stomach the balance back.
Another thing: look at the package of the medication. See whether they contain saccharomyces boulardii, an yeast that is most effective for these antibiotic caused diarrheas.
Clay and chamomile are also good, quick solutions for the time being. Drinking chamomile tea or consuming two tablespoons of clay (smectite) with distilled water can immediately stop your watery stool and give you space to check in at your doctor’s office.
