is lemon good for diarrhea - #17694
I am dealing with this annoying bout of diarrhea that just won't quit, right? Like, I had some street food last week, which I regret now, and ever since then things have been pretty chaotic. I remember my grandma always saying that is lemon good for diarrhea, and I kinda thought that was just an old wives’ tale. But my stomach feels like a mess, and at this point, I'm willing to try anything. I’ve heard that citrus can sometimes help, but is lemon good for diarrhea or will it just make things worse? I mean, I don’t wanna add to the situation, right? Also, I read somewhere that it could be too acidic or something? I’ve been sipping on some lemon water today to ease the nausea, but I'm not sure if that was a good idea or if I'm like, really messing things up. Could this actually help, or is it just giving me false hope? I guess what I really wanna know is, when it comes to digestive upset, is lemon good for diarrhea, or should I steer clear of all things lemony? Would love to hear what the docs think, really appreciate any help!
