Probiotics : I have found the use of probiotics to be very useful to treat many forms of diarrhea. Probiotics are the good kinds of bacteria that are needs for proper function of your intestines. Probiotics may be obtained by drinking kefir. Eating yogurt or various fermented vegetables like sauerkraut . There are also probiotic supplements available from health food stores.
