How To Stop Diarrhea Naturally And Effectively With Foods

Toast

The last food of the BRAT diet to stop diarrhea is toast. The better choice is naturally to go for a whole-grain option so that it will be richer in nutrients and won’t include many harmful processed grains and sugar that white toast often contains. You should refrain from using butter because its fats can make the diarrhea worse. You could eat the toast with a bit of honey if you feel like dry toast is too hard to consume alone.

Other helpful foods

There are also other foods that you could try to help stop diarrhea naturally. For instance, health and nutrition experts often recommend probiotic yoghurt.

The Five Remedies website also suggests you try dried coriander to stop the symptoms. The site recommends eating coriander not just to stop the symptoms but also to make sure you are receiving enough nutrients. Coriander is rich in calcium, vitamin C and potassium, for instance, and thus helps you boost your immune system.

Try clay to stop diarrhea

Dr David Williams also suggests in his 2012 article that you can try clay to stop diarrhea naturally. It is especially effective if you are suffering from diarrhea related to food poisoning. The article mentions a 1960s study on 35 people suffering from food poisoning or allergy. They took two tablespoons of smectite clay with water three times a day, every day. Almost all of them had their diarrhea stopped in about three days, with the number of daily bowel movements reduced by almost twice per day.

Dr Williams also suggests that you can take clay with a juice, for example apple juice. You shouldn’t take it together with foods because clay is so effective at absorbing nutrients and bad bacteria it might make you lose out on the healthy nutrients from food.

Re-hydration

You can also stop diarrhea by making sure you are staying hydrated. Diarrhea is a condition that will very quickly dehydrate you and thus it is important to add more water intake as soon as you experience symptoms of diarrhea. Try drinking water throughout the day and you can add, for instance, lemon to your water to help kill the unhealthy bacteria.
