5 juices to help with diarrhea
Pear and banana smoothie
Soluble fiber is what you don’t see but which is still good for your gut and health.
The pectins in apples are one of them, for example. It is they who also make jam gel. They are water-soluble and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Not only apples, but also pears contain pectins!
Bananas also contain pectin, which is also good for diarrhea. In addition, the banana also contains magnesium and potassium – and this is exactly what is deprived of your body in the event of diarrhea.
For this soothing smoothie, you need a pear, a banana, some lemon juice and water.
If possible, refrain from peeling the pear, because the peel (also of apples, peaches, etc.) offers you an additional, good supply of fiber!
Because the peel of fruit is often treated with pesticides, fungicides, wax and other pollutants, make sure you buy organically grown fruit so that you can eat it unpeeled with a clear conscience!
Remove the core of the pear and peel the banana. Now add everything to the blender with a splash of lemon juice and water and puree a wonderfully creamy smoothie! If you leave out the lemon, you can flavor it with vanilla.
Apple with honey and lemon balm
To do this, you need a few sprigs of fresh lemon balm, a teaspoon of honey and an apple.
Pluck the lemon balm leaves from the branches, peel and core the apple and add it. If you have a few squirts of lemon juice, the finished drink will remain appetizingly light and the apple will not oxidize.
A shot of orange juice does it too! Then puree the ingredients all together into a kind of apple puree and add as much water as you like.
It is important to really puree the apple to a pulp in order to release as much pectin as possible. Melissa has a calming effect on your digestive tract, apple pectin is a tried and tested remedy for diarrhea and the honey contains sugar that your body is now lacking …
Coconut water
Coconut water is currently experiencing a revival, but has been used as a proven remedy for diarrhea for generations where the coconut grows .
Be careful not to confuse it with coconut milk ! This is very greasy and, in the case of diarrhea, stressful for your intestines and therefore counterproductive!
Coconut water is already packaged in tetra packs, so you don’t have to open a coconut to get the delicious drink. Make sure that the coconut water does not contain any artificial flavors. These would also irritate your intestines.
Coconut water is isotonic and ensures that the fluid is quickly absorbed by the body. In addition, it contains important minerals that are flushed out in the event of diarrhea and must therefore be replaced with the amount you drink.
Enjoy large quantities of this tropical drink when you have diarrhea!
Papaya juice
Papaya contains valuable enzymes that break down protein. This useful property is used, for example, in the tropics to tenderize tough meat. To do this, the meat is soaked in papaya juice for a while.
Buy a fresh, ripe papaya. If the papaya is yellow on the outside and has very few green spots or spots, it is fully ripe. The pulp should be dark orange and smell wonderful.
Cut the papaya in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Don’t throw away the seeds! There is more of this enzyme in the seeds than in the pulp!
Puree the pulp to make juice, you may need to add some more water. The kernels taste a little like cress, this comes from the mustard oils they contain. They are spicy and also have an antibacterial effect in your digestive tract.
In Latin America the kernels are also eaten against worms! Drink the papaya juice and chew the seeds with it. The kernels have to be chewed, only then will they work!
Blueberry smoothie
Hildegard von Bingen used and recommended blueberries or blueberries for diarrhea.
There are many tannins in blueberries that cause your intestinal lining to contract, release less fluid and become less sensitive to harmful bacteria. It is therefore important to use the whole fruit, not just buy the juice.
Puree the blueberries with water to make a nice smoothie that will help you feel better if you have diarrhea!
