Diarrhea Remedy safe for Children and adults

White spending time in Pakistan visiting friends i observed a child with diarrhea. The thinking is that children dehydrate faster than adults, but because this remedy causes a full stop and those in Pakistan believe if you have diarrhea you are needing to purge your body of some toxins. They allow 2-3 bowl movements before administering this remedy.

Add 2.5 cups of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil (do not add salt)
Add 1 cup of plain white long grain rice (or in a pinch any rice you have)
Boil for 5 minutes (just half cooking the rice is all you need)
Strain the rice into a bowl and pour the water into a drinking vessel (cup or glass, sippy cup, whatever you are going to use) and let it cool. Once cool, drink at least 1 cup of the water. The starches in the water work even better than bananas! I have used this remedy on my husband, my kids and it works like a charm every single time. I find it DOES NOT cause any constipation or a sluggish bowl making it hard to have a bowel movement at all.

Hope this treatment helps some of you out there!
