Since HAPPY started this subject off with constipation I thought I'd post a home cure for the other side of the equation: DIARRHEA.
I'm not talking about a serious medical condition kind of diarrhea here that requires a doctor's attention, just your ordinary occasional bout of back-door trots. My mom used this to treat us when we were kids, and it always worked (and still does) within half an hour or so. It doesn't taste good, but it WORKS! The secret?
Ground nutmeg. First, have a glass of water handy. Then take a rounded teaspoon of nutmeg, sprinkle a little sugar on top to make it slightly more palatable, and shove it in your mouth. While you're making faces, wash it down with the glass of water (you'll need all of it!) That's it. I swear it works faster and better than that pink stuff that comes in a bottle.
