Q. I heard a guy on the radio talk about easing his chronic, relentless diarrhea with coconut. I have had a very bad time with diarrhea also, so I have tried eating some raw shredded coconut.
I can’t believe how well I feel. My stomach does not bother me at all now, and it is liberating not to have to worry about staying really close to a bathroom.
Even better, everything with respect to elimination is more predictable and I don’t have to embarrass myself by scrambling (very VERY fast walking) to the restroom. Imodium did not work, Lomotil did not work, but coconut works wonderfully. Yay!
A. We have heard from hundreds of readers who tell us that coconut can calm chronic diarrhea. We still have no clear explanation.
