Diarrhea Remedy
Plain rice water — the starchy liquid left from cooking rice — has long been used to help settle the stomach and stay hydrated.
What you'll need
- 1/2 cup white rice
- 4 cups water
- A pinch of salt
Steps
- Boil rice in water until soft, about 20 minutes.
- Strain the liquid, saving it and discarding or eating the rice separately.
- Stir in a pinch of salt and sip slowly throughout the day.
Tip: Seek medical care if diarrhea is severe, bloody, or lasts more than two days — dehydration can happen quickly.
