Wikipedia says:
The means by which this appears to work is still not well-documented. It is thought to be some combination of:

- Retarding the expulsion of fluids into the digestive system by irritated tissues, by "coating" them.
- Reducing inflammation/irritation of stomach and intestinal lining
- Killing some bacteria that cause diarrhea
