Hello All;
Just as a bit of information here - and I don't know the medical reason why it works - but is does - with any type of diarrhea. Pure Blackberry Wine - made from blackberries - not blackberry flavored white wine. If you are just having a bout of minor diarrhea - take about 2 ounces and sip it down. You may have to repeat the dose once or twice within a 4 hour period, and of course - not drive at all. We always have a bottle of Maneschevitz (?sp) on hand. My gram used to give it to us when we were kids - and it has always worked. Sure does taste better than an immodium type product too!
Now - I am not advocating that brand - it's just the one we have used for generations.
When I did geriatric home care and hospice - it was one of the things that really helped the clients.
