BRAT Diet /Home Remedies

[Guest guest]

Don't forget to check out the files under 'Home Remedies' for the

recipe for 'Homemade pedialite-Fluid repenishing drink.' This is so

inexpensive compared to the store bought drink and works great. At the

first sign of diarrhea in children or adults start on BRAT diet

and 'pedialite'. The BRAT diet for adults and children is; B-ripe

mashed banana, R-cooked rice,A-applesauce and T-plain-decafinated

tea/plain unbuttered toast.

With severe diahrrea or vomiting one should take only small amounts of

the 'pedialite'(one or two tablespoons for a child) until the

intestinal tract calms down and then slowly start the BRAT diet.

When you make the 'pedialite' use purified or boiled water with no

chlorine or floride if possible. Use sea salt and organic white sugar.

Be careful not to change the amounts of sugar and salt.
