Dr. Whitaker on Natural Remedies

Just read through Dr. Whitaker's website and his page on digestive health. He has a page on treating diarrhea using natural remedies. Here is the abbreviated list of what he recommends:

• Drink plenty of water
• Add soluble fiber (the kind in fruits and legumes)
• Replenish the beneficial bactera (probiotics)
• Take digestive enzymes
• Eliminate foods you may have allergies to (perhaps via the Specific Carbohydrate Diet)
• Take the herb Una de gato (cat's claw)

One of the products offered on his website is PearlBiotics. It is a specially formulated probiotic supplement (in tablet form) that has a special coating (made in Japan) that allows the bacteria to survive the stomach so that they make it alive to the intestines.
