I went to webmd.com, and got some info on diarhea (last week), and their suggestions included a home made brew of one quart water, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt and 4 tbsp. sugar.

I have type 2 diabetes, and cut down the sugar to 1 tbsp, and checked my sugar levels, and it was okay for me.

webmd suggested drinking a quart every hour, and small bites of salty crackers, until the episode was over, then abstaining from alcohol, fruit, spicy foods, dairy prods and maybe sugarfree gum for 36-48 hours.

Hope this helps!
