Boiling apple water can stop diarrhea. Because fruit contains tannic acid and pectin, tannic acid can reduce the moisture in stool, thus achieving the effect of stopping diarrhea. At the same time, the pectin component of apple also has the function of stopping diarrhea after cooking, and can absorb bacteria and toxins. The pulp and peel of apple contain tannic acid, which is more abundant in the peel. Pectin is distributed in the pulp near the peel, so don't peel the apple when cooking, so as to avoid the loss of effective components.

Remember: eating raw apples not only has no antidiarrheal effect, but also may make feces smoother, because unheated raw pectin has the effect of softening feces and relieving constipation.

The method of boiling water for apples is very simple: first, prepare a fresh fruit, cut it into small pieces with a core, boil it in water for 3 ~ 5 minutes, and eat it after it is warm, 2 ~ 3 times a day, about 30 grams each time. Do not add sucrose to boiled apples, because sucrose will aggravate diarrhea.

However, the effect of this method in treating diarrhea is not obvious, but only plays an auxiliary role. This method is quite effective for children. Patients with severe diarrhea should go to the hospital for active treatment.
