Apple Pectin

[Guest guest]

I have heard anecdotal reports from people that apple pectin (like the kind you

buy a the grocery to use in jellymaking) helped their arthritis but no studies

on this. Pectin is generally recognized as soothing to the gut in diarrhea, it

is an ingredient in Kaopectate. Perhaps they figure anyone using acidopholous is

taking it to control diarrhea. Liz G

I've heard that " adult dose " is typically figured for someone who weighs 150

lbs. so probably 1/5 of a tablet or 100 mg?

PJ had the flu starting last weekend, and the diarrhea is never <BR>

ending now, stimming is up, etc. We're trying to get his intestines <BR>

back to where they were -- we're battling yeast and bacteria. <BR>

Someone recommended apple pectin for the diarrhea. Does anybody <BR>

know how much to give? I've got 500mg tablets, and an adult dose <BR>

per the label is one tablet after a meal. PJ is 30 lbs...<BR>

<BR>

Thanks!<BR>

Two things you might consider:

Probiotics, especially L Reuteri and believe it or not, coconut

macaroon cookies. I think it is the coconut part that stops

diarrhea. I believe aspects of coconut are anti-viral...

Get better!

I've heard bananas also help.
