antidiarrhoeal

Zinc sulphate Monohydrate is used in the pharmaceutical preparations as an antidiarrhoeal.

An antidiarrhoeic is an agent used to prevent or treat diarrhoea.

The actual nut is mostly used for culinary purposes, mostly as snacks but they are also used in cooking, particularly in Thai and Chinese food. The other parts of the plants are much more interesting. The high level of anacardic acid in the nut shell makes one of the byproducts in processing the nuts very useful for treating tooth abscesses. The bark can be used as an antidiarrhoeal after being process. The nut oil is a antifungal and the gum from the plant is used in varnishes.

Diarrhea certainly isnt fun! Foods that will help are bannanas, yogurt, and cheese. Medecine works better though. Some good medecine is Pepto, Maalox, TUMS, and anti- diarrea. (of course!) If none of this works you should probally go to the doctor because this may be an allerjic reaction or stomach virus.
