1) Chamomile Tea
Chamomile is great for reducing intestinal inflammation. Add 1 teaspoon of chamomile leaves and 1 teaspoon of peppermint leaves into a glass of boiling water and let it steep for 15 minutes. Drink up to 3 times a day for maximum relief.
2) Yogurt
Take two bowls of yogurt (with live cultures) daily until your diarrhoea subsides. The “good” bacteria introduced into your intestines will fight off the “bad” ones and help you feel all better quickly.
3) Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar can also help kill off the “bad” bacteria that’s causing your diarrhoea. Dilute one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with one full glass of water. Drink the mixture up to 2 times a day until your diarrhoea goes away.
4) Ginger
Ginger is good for abdominal pain, stomach cramps and food poisoning. Drink ginger tea with a teaspoon of honey. Alternatively, slice up a small piece of ginger and add honey to it. Eating this mixture helps get your gastric juices flowing and improves digestion.
5) White Rice
Cooked white rice, because of its starchy nature, adds bulk to your stools. It’s also easy to digest. Include this in your diet when you’re battling with diarrhoea.
6) Blueberries
Blueberries are ideal as a diarrhoea remedy. They contain anthocyanosides, which have both antibacterial as well as antioxidant properties. They also have tannins. These aid you in your fight against diarrhoea.
7) Orange Peel Tea
This helps with your digestion. Boil the peel of an organic orange in about 500ml of water. Add a teaspoon of honey to sweeten. Drink it while it’s warm.
8) Fenugreek Seeds
Fenugreek seeds are rich in mucilage which helps combat diarrhoea. You can either mix them with water (½ teaspoon) and drink the mixture or sprinkle them (1 teaspoon) into yogurt and eat the mixture.
9) Bananas
Ripe bananas are high in pectin and potassium that are good for fighting diarrhoea. Eat up to 3 a day until your diarrhoea goes away.
10) Clear Fluids / Potato
Potatoes, like white rice, are starchy in nature and helps to relieve diarrhoea. Make sure you don’t eat them as fries though. It’s better to prepare them as baked potatoes.
