Dr. Oz talked about several of the ways that doctors help their patients with diarrhea. But there’s a Quick Fix that I think you might want to know about, because every minute counts when you’ve got the Runs.

Loose Stools are not pleasant…

Loose Stools are typically an indicator that the digestive system needs to get rid of some toxic material as quickly as it possibly can be done.

You may have eaten some spoiled food. You may have eaten something that contained a toxic substance that the body recognizes as poisonous. You may have ingested a pathogen which is disturbing your digestive system and needs to be rapidly eliminated. There are so many causes that we can’t possibly discuss them all here. But you are looking for fast solutions…

The fastest method that I have found is to make a Kudzu Pudding and nothing else until you have a normal stool. Of, course, you can drink pure water or freshly juiced citrus fruits to assist with the purification of your colon and to keep you hydrated properly, but you want to refrain from taxing the digestive system by not asking more of it than it’s already dealing with now.

Kudzu Pudding can be made as either a sweet pudding or a savory pudding, depending upon your personal preference. It’s the Kudzu Root that makes it work, nothing else. But you do want to like what you are taking, so it can be either sweet or salty.

Kudzu Pudding made from an organic fruit juice blend is ideal. It tastes great, especially for kids and it offers the body some extra vitamin C and other nutrients. I prefer Morning Blend or a sub-acid fruit juice blend with apricot, pear, strawberry, or peach blended with apple juice or orange juice. You can use papaya or pineapple juice if you wish. Even plain apple or orange juice works nicely.

First you bring the juice to a gentle boil, but be sure not to have the burner on too high or else you will ruin your mixture. Just a gentle boil…

Then mix in your Kudzu Root slurry that you have made with room temperature pure water and Kudzu Root powder. It usually come in chunks with some powder, so you need to take a spoon as make it into a smooth slurry paste. It should not be too thick nor too thin, just like a gravy consistency for the perfect mixability with the juice.

Now gradually stir the slurry into the boiling juice and keep stirring until it thickens. It will take a few minutes to thicken as you stir. Do NOT stop stirring too soon or else it will clump and you’ll have to strain it before eating it.

Turn off the heat and let it cool. When it gets to a temperature that is warm, but not hot enough to burn your mouth; then that’s the perfect time to start sipping your Kudzu Pudding.

If you prefer to eat it at room temperature, then wait about ten minutes before consuming and it will be lukewarm. It gets a lot thicker when you let it cool too long. So sometime between taking it off the heat and before it becomes to thick to be considered pudding is going to be your time frame.

The Kudzu Root will bind the material in your colon and stop the loose stools. It also soothes the irritated colon tissue. It won’t take long before you feel like you have enough time to get to the bathroom without risking an accident.

This works every time and yet you don’t want to overdo the Quick Fix if you have frequently loose stools. You must determine the cause. But while you are doing that, you can fix the problem very rapidly with Kudzu Root.

Kudzu Root powder can be found in Whole Food Markets and your local Food Co-ops. It is often expensive, but you don’t need that much to work for any bout of diarrhea. A few ounces should do the trick for one or two pudding sessions.

It’s a good idea to eat a large bowl at one session. This should be enough to stop diarrhea within a few hours while the pudding is making its way through the entire digestive system.

If you want to make a savory Kudzu Pudding, then use an organic vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Then add your Kudzu Root slurry and stir it slowly until it thickens. Take it off the heat and use it as a gravy over organic brown rice or mashed potatoes that are made without dairy or butter. You can use sea salt to taste.

While you are busy realizing just how important it is to keep your digestive system functioning properly, you can make any dietary changes by adding more fiber and better whole food choices to your diet. You can find dozens of excellent whole foods and healthy ingredients at Love Street Living Foods. Then you might just decrease the possibility that you will have to deal with diarrhea again any time soon…
