My best suggestion for diarrhea in children as well as adults is to prevent it using probiotics, (you know, those friendly bacteria that live in your intestines?)
Naturally fermented foods that have been preserved without vinegar or heat processing contain them. Kim-chee, saurkraut, pickled beets, carrots or peppers, to name a few. Also many fermented, healthy beverages such as apple cider, kombucha, buttermilk, and many more.
I highly recomend the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. I learned how to make many healthy foods and beverages that my family enjoys.
It is important to note that initially when you introduce fermented foods into your diet, you may experience diarrhea symptoms as your body detoxifies. How severe your detox symptoms are is probably a good indicator of just how badly you needed the detox.
In this polluted world we could all use some help from these little buggers!
