Diarrhea is the body’s way of removing toxins. One or two bouts of diarrhea is not anything to worry about or to try to remedy – I think recovery. Fasting is always my first reaction to diarrhea – you want the gut to clear and rest (12 hours per Dr. Krista’s recommendation). I encourage fluid intake (offer lots of fresh water, give ice cubes if he/she likes to lick them, I will even add a little broth to the water if I don’t think they are drinking enough).

Probiotics are always good to aid recovery.
