Another source (http://goo.Gl/ywlflm) says there's insufficient evidence for using pomegranate for diarrhea & dysentery. So from an evidence-based perspective, looks like it's still up in the air.

If you notice the staining from food, have your dentist check for enamel defects, cracks, or unremoved biofilm and get a recommendation for tooth paste
