Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Need some help halting DIARRHEA? *Here’s an old trick our grandmothers know…STEWED APPLE. It works like "blotting paper" in the bowels due to the pectins of the apple. The apple must be stewed in order to help. (Cut apples into pieces, simmer in small amount of water until soft. ~15min). Add cinnamon to aid digestion and taste. Apple also helps stimulate one’s appetite. If the sick person doesn't feel like eating, one will be amazed how easily this goes down and how great it tastes. (Better stew two apples, he or she might want more after eating the first)!Another trick is CAROB. It also contains ample pectins to act as "blotting paper" and halt diarrhea. Add 1-2 teaspoons carob powder to boiling water. This makes a nice drink (whether you have diarrhea or not). Carob is naturally sweet and nice alone, but if necessary add a little honey to aid flavour. It's also good added atop the stewed apple as mentioned above-double the power! The carob will also provide some nutrients, including protein. Good to have carob powder in the cupboard for those emergencies outside apple season or when there are no apples in the house!Becky I can't remember what I forgot to forget........
