ArmyOfFive4God Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) For those wishing to treat diarrhea, please keep i mind that diarrhea is usually the body's way of naturally flushing toxins & you're best bet is to let it run its course & keep WELL-hydrated!!

CrabGrassAcres Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I take activated charcoal to adsorb the toxins and get rid of the symptoms at the same time. Quote Link to comment
AMarthaByHeart Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Mother--after having a stomach virus, I have been eating yogurt. Is there anything else that I can do naturally to restore the proper bacteria? I am trying to do things more naturally without popping a bunch of pills and letting nature run its course. Being a diabetic, I did have to be careful. I ate applesauce and toast and checked my blood sugar. I guess I am trying to get back to the old fashioned ways. Quote Link to comment

GirlNextDoor Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Tannic acid--not too much. Lethal dose is about 6% of your body weight. http://tannicacid.info/ Remember this big old, long thread nobody really read? http://chestofbooks.com/health/materia-med...annici-Tan.html Internally. - Digestive System. - By coagulating the albumins tannic acid imparts a dryness to the mouth, accompanied by a sensation of puckering. It partially paralyzes the sensory nerve-572 endings, thus blunting the sense of taste. Large doses produce vomiting by an irritant action, while diarrhea, followed by constipation, may be present. By its action on- the stomach, pepsin and peptones are precipitated, unless the stomach contents are markedly acid, albumin is coagulated, and the secretion of gastric juice diminished, all of which actions tend to impair the digestive function. The tannates formed are all susceptible of digestion, however, and tannic acid is set free. There is a partial conversion of the tannic acid into gallic and pyro-gallic acids. To facilitate absorption there must be a preliminary conversion of tannic into gallic acid, and this reaction takes place in the intestine. A diminution of peristalsis is followed by constipation. Circulatory System. - Its astringent property makes tannic acid a valuable hemostatic. It arrests hemorrhage partly by preliminary contraction of the blood-vessels, but more particularly by coagulating the proteid of the blood. Nervous System. - No special effect has been observed. Absorption and Elimination. - As tannic acid combines so readily with the proteids of the intestinal canal it is not absorbed, as a rule, in large amounts. Some of the ingested tannic acid is eliminated unchanged by the intestines. Most of it is converted into gallic acid in the intestines, and as such is eliminated by the urine and stools. The tannate that is absorbed may be found in the blood, possibly a sodium salt of tannic or gallic acids. Sodium tannate may be found in the urine. Much of the tannic acid taken up is completely oxidized.

Violet Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I find that the acidiphilous capsules work much better than eating yogurt. I take some capsules each day. Quote Link to comment
