A homemade electrolyte concoction:

Combine 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, one teaspoon of calcium/magnesium powder, one to two tablespoons of honey, one quart of spring or pure coconut water, and the juice of a fresh lemon or lime to taste.

Drink a cup slowly, every one to two hours. Even if you vomit it up, you will still get some.

After 24 hours of only liquids and as the symptoms improve, advance to a bland diet for the next day or two in addition to frequent fluids. Good food choices include bananas, applesauce, white basmati rice, dry white toast (they have gluten-free options), white rice cakes or crackers, hot rice or buckwheat cereal cooked in water sweetened with pure maple syrup or honey, and mashed potatoes with a little salt.

Continue to avoid fats and dairy products (other than organic, live-culture yogurt), spicy or sugary food, caffeine, and alcohol. An oil that actually helps relieve diarrhea is made from flaxseed, but you may prefer to take it as directed in capsule form. For now, stay away from high-fiber foods, like most raw fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Wait 48 hours after your symptoms resolve before eating these foods and returning to your normal diet. An upset digestive tract, like any other injury, needs time to heal.

For any type of dysentery, eat unripe green bananas and basmati rice with plain organic yogurt or kefir for optimal gut health. Also eat fresh papaya with a FEW seeds, as they contain substances that kill many types of causative organisms responsible for intestinal infections. However, don’t ingest more than one tablespoon of the seeds daily in pregnancy.

Herbs and Supplements

As with any infection, eat a bulb of garlic once per day. You can bake the cloves in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, or cut them up raw and swallow a few cloves as pills, but you are more likely to tolerate taking a supercritical extract of garlic capsules. It is wonderfully effective and very mild-tasting when encapsulated in supercritical form.

You can also try Gaia’s Echinacea Supreme herbal tincture, one to two dropperfuls, every few hours, daily in juice. This will help kill germs like viruses and strengthen your immune system.

Drink a strong red raspberry leaf tea, or even better, make your own infusion of red raspberry leaf by immersing one ounce of it dried in one quart boiling water, brew for a half an hour, strain it in a glass canning jar, and drink a half to one cup up to every 30 minutes to one hour, according to the severity of your diarrhea. Add fresh mint, juice of a lemon or lime, and honey to taste.

Drink kombucha, and eat lacto-fermented foods such as kimchi, as soon as you are able to tolerate vegetables. Take an excellent probiotic like Greens First, twice daily, for at least a few weeks to help resolve the diarrhea and replace healthy intestinal flora.

Slippery elm is reputed to be the best herbal remedy
