my Mom isn't an alernative medicine person at all, but she may be ready to listen to me if this keeps up!!
She is over 80 now, and has PD [Parkinsons]. This diarrhea started about a week ago, and it hit her 4 times now. It comes onSuddenly, and explosive she says. Almost accident, definately a big urgency, "get outta my way".
I can't stand it. Many of you know this feeling - Mom is having trouble and I gotta help her. I don't do well with this stuff!! I over-react. Ok, settle down. good.
I think there is a Red Clay , it may be in Kaopectate, an OTC anti-diarrhea. I have not found it referanced yet.
I found this definition and these herbs suggested:
"Antidiarrhea": An alterative*. Examples are: *Blackberry, comfrey, gentian, *red raspberry, and yellow dock, black pepper, and ginger.
But precious little else so far. This must be a common thing....
Other suggestions, please?

MoreThis is a reply to # 371,110Raw fruits, exercise, and distilled water.. that should be her only diet.
I, too, suffer from what she has.. :/
I thought, 'Fruit? Exercise?? NOW??' when you're SICK to your stomach,
but it works!
The problem is.. convincing the person to do it.

MoreThis is a reply to # 371,111This is not good advice for anyone who is diabetic or pre-diabetic. Fruits raise your blood sugar, no matter what kind of fructose it is. As a diabetic, I cannot eat apples or grapes anymore; they taste WAY too sweet to me. And they hurt my stomach if its empty. Oranges raise my blood Sugar dangerously. So do bananas.

This is a reply to # 371,110Natual remedies may not be useful for your mom due to her age. By then, things tend to wear out. Ask for a prescription for Questran powder if Lomotil doesn't work. It is not a heavy duty medication. It merely binds up the bile acids. It has been a miracle cure for many people with chronic diarrhea. If she is not in Depends at her age, she has escaped much. I ended up in them at 51!

This is a reply to # 371,115Thanks for the suggestions, she has yet to try anything. Its so hard to work at a distance...
Her Doctor finally asked her to stop milk and other LACTOSE in her diet. That was something I can agree with!
Milk should be the first to be stopped with almost any digestion/gastro related problem.
Didn't help, in fact it got worse this week, the first week of quitting milk. More liquidy, more explosive, no warning at all. Sorry if its graphic...
I doubt it is the lactose, but if it was, could this be a healing crisis? From stopping lactose, then a final spurt for another week or so as things normalise? That doesn't sound right but I thought I should ask...
Other than lactose, I am surpirsed to hear of your diarrhea being chronic, I just didn't know. Sorry for your hardship, now that I see what mom is going thru with cleaning up and social embarasements etc.
Thanks, any more suggs or testimony is appreciated.
