If your child has the runs and you cannot get to a chemist ---Cook a half a cup of rice in two cups of water.Overcook the rice till the starch starts to whiten the water,strain add a good pinch of salt and a teaspoon of sugar.Let the child sip this as often as possible. This remedy will stop the runs as well as helping to replace fluids and electrolytes.

Hey, If one of the younger cousins had diarrhoea I would hear my grandma say things like, that kid needs roughage or give him some bread or potato chips... So if one of my children had this sickness I would try my grandma remedies and if that didnt work then I would try your rice solution... So thanks in advance buddy
