But too much sugar: Apple juice has too much sugar. Loose stools can be from variety of causes. People usually see their doctors if symptoms are bad or last more than 1-2 days. When diarrhea first starts, a person can benefit by stopping oral intake for a few hours, and then start just drinking small amounts (few ounces) of something like Pedialyte or half-strength Gatorade each hour. That should decrease diarrhea.

I've been having a lot of gastro problems. I took Pepto and my BS is dropping even after lowering my insulin, drinking apple juice and having saltines w/sugar jelly. It's like the Pepto is coating the gut not allowing the sugar in??
