Herbs, Alternative Medications for Bowel distress ? Diarrhea?!


Question:

Herbs, Alternative Medications for Bowel distress ? Diarrhea?

92 year old woman (mother -in-law) presents with inability to control movement and is now losing control during sleep. She is otherwise healthy and active other than on medications for high blood pressure and depression. I am wondering if there is any safe alternative herbal suplements, vitamins etc. that I can get for her? She is really in emotional distress about this happening.
Is it possibly a diet problem? I do know her eating habits are not too good anymore.
Could this be a parasite? She does not suffer pain so I am thinking it is not IBS.


Answers:

Fenugreek seeds with unflavored yogurt usually helps. One heaped tea spoon of seeds and a couple of ounces of yogurt.

Any change in diet that could have caused this should be ruled out first.

Semi ripe banana also can help. Though some are allergic to this. Woodwards used to sell a product called Appleona that is said to control diarrhea in infants. This might work in this case also.
