Good luck this is an old home remedy for diarrhea that my mother always used and i still have used today.

ingredient - cornmeal

put cornmeal into a hot skillet and stir till it is completely parched (medium brown color). let it cool. then eat about 2 tablespoons of it (drinking as little water as you can). it tastes horrible (like eating sand), but it really does work. we have been doing this for years. if you do this treatment, the diarrhea will be gone within the next 2 to 3 hours. IT REALLY DOES WORK....

Ingredients: BLUEBERRIES
Instructions: I had a severe case of diarreah for 2 months with horrible gas constantly I was so ashamed at work and I thought I was going to die and was afraid to go to the hospital. I tried everything and nothing worked until I found this remedy in a library book. I thought it was crazy because I thought fruit makes diarreah worse, but it was unbelievably a CURE.

Ingredients: Cornstarch, water
Instructions: Mix two heaping teaspoons of cornstarch with half a cup of water. Stir thoroughly, and drink. Think of what cornstarch does to gravy, it will do the same to your "little annoyance". You shouldn't have another loose bowel, but if you do, just repeat. Not recommended for food poisoning or a severe stomach virus, as the toxins should be flushed out of the body in these instances.

If you want to help getting rid of diarrhea....Toast two pieces of bread.Then put peanut butter on it.The peanut butter will help to tighten your bowls back up.

If you have diarrhea drink some hot tea. Weak tea is okay, it doesn't have to be strong. I use Lipton's but any type will do.
The tannic acid in the tea will clear out your intestines of the stuff making you sick.ANDRES RONCHI

For Diarrhea we use the inner bark of the White Oak tree.

Take the bark and put it in a pan covered with water.Bring to a boil,and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.Strain through a coffee filter,sweeten to taste,and enjoy.

P.S.White Oak tea tastes good,but you don't want to drink to much as it might plug you up.
