Diarrhea is defined as a condition of passing of loose or watery stools as a result of viruses (rotavirus, norovirus, etc.), bacteria (food poisoning, E coli), parasites effects, intestinal disorders, fat mal-absorption, laxative abuse ..., etc. alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and terpenes
Types of food to prevent and treat diarrhea
1. Yogurt
In the study to investigate Yogurt containing probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14 helps resolve moderate diarrhea and increases CD4 count in HIV/AIDS patients, showed that
he probiotic yogurt
group at baseline, 15 and 30 days had a mean WBC count of 5.8+/-0.76 x
10(9)/L, 6.0+/-1.02 x 10(9)/L, and 5.4+/-0.14 x 10(9)/L, respectively.
However, the mean CD4 cell count remained the same or increased at 15
and 30 days in 11/12 probiotic-treated subjects compared to 3/12 in the
control. Diarrhea, flatulence, and nausea resolved in 12/12 probiotic-treated subjects within 2 days, compared to 2/12 receiving yogurt for 15 days. This is the first study to show the benefits of probiotic yogurt
on quality of life of women in Nigeria with HIV/AIDS, and suggests that
perhaps a simple fermented food can provide some relief in the
management of the AIDS epidemic in Africa(1).
2. Ginger
In the study to demonstrate that ginger
significantly blocked the binding of LT to cell-surface receptor G M1,
resulting in the inhibition of fluid accumulation in the closed ileal
loops of mice, found that biological-activity-guided searching for active components showed that
zingerone (vanillylacetone) was the likely active constituent
responsible for the antidiarrheal efficacy of ginger.
Further analysis of chemically synthesized zingerone derivatives
revealed that compound 31 (2-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid)
significantly suppressed LT-induced diarrhea in mice via an excellent surface complementarity with the B subunits of LT(2).
3. Peppermint oil (in small dose)
The use of peppermint
oil in treating the irritable bowel syndrome has been studied with
variable results probably due to the presence of patients affected by
small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, lactose intolerance or celiac
disease that may have symptoms similar to irritable bowel syndrome.
researchers at the G d'Annunzio University, found that A 4 weeks
treatment with peppermint oil improves abdominal symptoms (abdominal bloating, abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhoea,
constipation, feeling of incomplete evacuation, pain at defecation,
passage of gas or mucus and urgency at defecation) in patients with
irritable bowel syndrome(3).
4. Garlic
In the study to evaluate the
antimicrobial s effect of the antimicrobial agents (garlic, ciprofloxacin and ampicillin) on Escherichia coli,
Shigella sp, Salmonella sp, and Proteus mirabilis using standard
procedures. Significant differences (p < 0.01), indicated that No isolates were resistant to garlic, making it a promising antimicrobial agent. It appears that antibiotics that interfere with DNA and RNA syntheses, such as garlic does, could constitute an effective partner in the synergic effect of garlic currently being investigated worldwide(4).
