I think if you follow that diet for only 2 days to stop your diarrhea problem you will not get "worse" problems down the long run!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Follow the BRAT diet and imodium as prescribed, but by no means take the pepto - it contains aspirin which can lead to Reyes SyndromeWww@Answer-Health@Com
Just be sure you get plenty to drink so you don't get dehydrated!.
If nothing else works, you could try it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First, how long have you been sick for!? If over 2 wks go see your doctor!.
Also with the foods you are eating no wonder you are not feeling better! Beef jerky! lol
Take the imodium, and stay hydrated, gatorade is good to replace lost electrolytes which you lose a lot of with diarrhea!. The following foods are good for an upset tummy: Bananas (high in potassium, something you lose a lot of with diarrhea), rice-plain (I don't know what rice meat is, and if there is meat in it I wouldn't eat it as meat is made or protein which is hard for your body to digest!.) applesauce, dry toast, saltine crackers, and ginger ale (ginger is a natural antiemetic, that is alleviates nausea)!.
You mom is just trying to help, and a lot of times ethnic traditions and remedies do work very well and for good reasons, but in this case I think I would skip on her suggestions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
