In the case of diarrhea, it is recommended to eat foods that slow down intestinal transit and to use natural remedies that help restore the intestinal flora to speed up recovery.
Cooked rice
Cooked rice is a great remedy for diarrhea as it remineralizes the body and increases blood glucose levels.
Cooking water is ideal for diarrhea because it contains a lot of salt, which acts as a water retainer and prevents dehydration.
Cooked carrots
Raw vegetables should be avoided when you have diarrhea, because they contain a lot of fiber, which has the effect of speeding up the transit.
However, if diarrhea occurs, we would rather try to slow it down. For this reason, cooked vegetables are welcome, especially carrots and beets, which contain carbohydrates.
Thyme Herbal Tea
Thyme herbal tea is ideal for treating diarrhea because thyme has many benefits at the intestinal level: it is a natural stomach and intestinal cleanser.
Combined with water, it deeply hydrates the body.
To make it, simply boil a cup of water, add 2 sprigs of thyme, wait a few minutes, strain and drink.
banana
Bananas contain pectin, a type of soluble fiber that absorbs excess fluid in the gut and slows down stool transit.
Therefore, it is ideal for diarrhea.
Prefers it very ripe, cooked or mashed to enjoy all its benefits.
Phytochar
Vegetable charcoal is a natural purifier of the gut.
It fights intestinal fermentation and regulates transit.
Once the first symptoms appear, it is mainly taken in the form of capsules, with an average of 2 capsules per dose.
candied apples
Applesauce, like bananas, contain pectin, so it slows down intestinal transit.
On the other hand, raw apples should be avoided as they can cause gastrointestinal upset and sustain or trigger diarrhea.
broth
Broth is an interesting ally in cases of diarrhea, as it helps retain water in the body and provides mineral salts.
Chicken or vegetable broth is easy to digest while helping to rehydrate. On the other hand, avoid bread as an accompaniment.
essential oil
Essential oils with primary anti-infective properties can treat so-called “mild” cases of diarrhea.
This is the case with basil, lemon, cinnamon, clove, savory or oregano essential oils.
For each of them, it is important to learn about the administration method and dosage from a professional.
Psyllium
Black, brown, or golden psyllium seeds contain mucilage. Mucilage is a plant substance that swells with water to form a viscous liquid.
They soothe irritated bowels and promote good transit.
clay milk
Clay contains silica and trace elements. It absorbs viruses and microbes and acts as a poultice by calming the irritated area.
To make clay milk, simply mix 1 to 2 c. Pour green clay coffee in a wooden bowl (avoid glass and stainless steel), pour in demineralized water, mix and drink.
