Know any good home remedies for diarrhea and nausea?
My husband’s had diarrhea for a couple days and vomited once this evening (I suspect it’s a stomach bug he got from his mother a couple days ago). He feels absolutely lousy. The kicker? He doesn’t have insurance for a doctor, and the ER’s another day or so into the horizon. Does anybody know of a good home remedy for these kinds of stomach issues? What kinds of foods should or shouldn’t he be eating? Any suggestions, however silly, are welcomed.
For Nausea:
*You can use fresh piece of ginger in your tea and have it to get relief from this problem.
*You can have a mild tea or have gingerale which help to soothe your stomach. You can also have slippery elm, red raspberry as well as herbal candies.
*Morning sickness is a very common feature among pregnant ladies. To avoid this nauseating morning sickness mix 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar with 1 tbsp honey. Mix it in cold water and have it before going to bed.
*Acupressure can benefit provided you know the right pressure points. You can do this by applying pressure between the thumb and forefinger. This would help remove the queasy feeling and prevent you from vomiting.
For Diarrhea:
*Buttermilk is one of the most effective home remedies in the treatment of diarrhoea. Buttermilk is the residual milk left after the fat has been removed from curd by churning. It helps overcome harmful intestinal flora. The acid in the buttermilk also fights germs and bacteria. Buttermilk may be taken with a pinch of salt three or four times a day for controlling this disease.
*In case of diarrhoea caused by indigestion, dry or fresh ginger is very useful. A piece of dry ginger should be powdered along with a crystal of rock salt, and quarter of a teaspoon of this powder should be taken with a small piece of jaggery. It will bring quick relief as ginger, being carminative, aids digestion by stimulating the gastrointestinal tract.
*Cooked or baked apples are good for diarrhoea. The cooking process softens the cellulose. Much of its value as a regulating material is thus lost and it is effective in looseness of the bowels. A glass of fresh tomato juice, mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper, taken in the morning, also proves beneficial. Other starchy liquids such as arrowroot water, barley water, and coconut water are also useful in the treatment of diarrhoea. They not only replace the fluid lost but also bind the stools. *Other home remedies include bananas and garlic. Bananas contain pectin and encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria. Garlic is a powerful, effective, and harmless germ killer. It aids digestion and removes intestinal worms.

Try a couple of spoons full of Peanut Butter for the diarrhea!
A peanut butter and honey sandwich, and some orange juice.
A couple nips of some fresh Parsley in the event it was caused
by a ‘mycoplasm’. Staying hydrated can help offset the nausea.
red cordial has so many preservatives it kills the tummy bugs

You might want to try Bilberry Tea or Catnip Tea.
