Best Emergency Diarrhea STOPPER! Buy a can of Pumpkin (not the spiced for pie), and start with 1 tsp each meal for the first day. Increase by 1 tsp per day until diarrhea is under control, then immediately begin decreasing in reverse . REMEMBER: A little of a good thing is a good thing. A LOT of a good thing is a bad thing. Too much pumpkin will absolutely bung you up like a cork, so proceed SLOWLY. Also remember to put a sprinkle of Celtic Sea Salt in a minimum of 64 ounces of distilled water per day. The diarrhea will not kill you, but demineralization and dehydration can. |

Diarrhea
Health Alert Dr Bruce West
Diarrhea is a symptom. It can be severe, and even life-threatening. Medical treatments for diarrhea are often ineffective. And throwing antibiotics at every case of sudden diarrhea is usually bad medicine. But for most short-term cases, the use of adsorbent (montmorillinite) clay, chlorophyll, and healing herbs like allantoin and okra clear up toxic diarrhea quickly and easily.
The first order of defense against diarrhea is to have two products from Standard Process on hand at all times: Cholacol I I and Gasex (SP). Both products contain montmorillinite clay. Gastrex also contains healing herbs plus extract of duodenal tissue and silica to promote healing. Gastrex is also a product that is excellent in the short term to heal ulcers, especially in the stomach and duodenum.
Cholacol I I also contains purified bile salts. Many people are deficient in bile due to years of poor diet, prescription drugs. gallbladder surgery, and stale, sticky, congested, and even crystallized bile that flows from the liver, along the bile ducts, and into the gallbladder. If this is you, you will experience nausea, alternating constipation/diarrhea, gallbladder problems, difficulty digesting fats, light colored stools, and poor absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (with all the ramifications that go with this type of deficiency).

Purified vs. Refined Bile Salts
Purified whole bile salts are very different from refined bile salt extracts sold in health food stores. Cholacol 11 contains whole bile purified with charcoal. In addition to bile salts and montmorillinite clay, it also contains Collinsonia Root. This helps prevent hemorrhoids which can occur with bile salt therapy. All bile salt therapy is generally short-term treatment. You do not want your body to grow dependant upon supplemental bile.
So, for food poisoning, short-term diarrhea, toxic bowel, and other forms of bowel toxicity, especially with light colored stools-use Cholacol 11 by taking three to six tablets 15 minutes before each meal. If you are also having stomach acid (burning) at the same time, add two to three Gastrex capsules a few minutes before each meal.
Explosive Diarrhea;-Infants and Kids
For really explosive toxic bowel episodes, I use a special Gastrex therapy that can work wonders. Open about 20 Gastrex capsules into half a glass of water and use a hand blender to make it into a pasty liquid. Drink between meals for a day or two to stop almost all problems. This type of therapy can also be used with infants on a short-term basis. Food poisoning is not uncommon with infants, and explosive diarrhea can be dangerous to them due to potential dehydration.
Naturally your physician should be consulted with any serious diarrhea in infants. But immediate use of antibiotics is usually a poor therapy. This further damages the gut, and rampant bacteria in the gut is usually not the source of the problem. Even if you use antibiotic therapy, the following herbal therapy in conjunction with acidophilus should be used at the same time.
Take a handful of Cholacol 11 tablets and a handful of Lact-Enz (acidophilus) tablets from Standard Process and make them into a powder with a seed or coffee grinder. Give your baby half a teaspoon on a little apple sauce before each meal until the problem is resolved. And whenever giving your baby antibiotics, always use half a teaspoon daily of Lact-Enz (ground into a powder) as a supplement to help protect your baby's sensitive gut from permanent antibiotic damage.

Causes Of Chronic Diarrhea
All cases of chronic diarrhea in adults or infants and kids must be evaluated by a competent physician. Lab tests will probably be needed to rule out inflammatory and infective processes. Stool tests may be needed to investigate worms, parasites, or other microbe problems. Once these are ruled out and/or treated and eliminated, you need to look at other causes for the diarrhea. Food allergies, prescription drugs, and poor diet are prime causes of chronic diarrhea. Liver and gallbladder problems, as well as toxic bowel, are also major causes, as discussed above. In these cases you may need to use the Elimination Diet to determine food allergies. Use a drug handbook to identify prescription drug side effects. By the way, every household should have one of these handbooks on hand. And remember that mixing prescriptions or taking multiple prescriptions may induce side effects like diarrhea that may not be listed for the individual drugs you may be taking. |
Once these causes have been checked out, almost everyone would do well to eat a healthful Mediterranean-type diet with no wheat, gluten. or milk products for 30 days. Some people will need to eliminate wheat and gluten for a year. During the first 30 to 45 days use Cholacol 11, Lact-Enz, and Gastrex to stop even stubborn diarrhea. Unless you have a real bile deficiency and your body is not able to make adequate bile, do not use bile supplements like Cholacol 11 for more than 45 days.
After 45 days of cleaning up the diet and the gut, continue with three more months of Gastrex and Lact-Enz both taken two per meal). If your diarrhea persists, remember that a sluggish liver and sluggish or missing gallbladder can cause long-term fat malabsorption and chronic diarrhea. This will require a liver and gallbladder cleanup.
