I am unaware of marshmallows helping in any way with diarrhea. However, in medieval medicine, the leave the the plant, the Marsh Mallow (Althaea officinalis) was used for this purpose. Alternative Medicine advises this plant (not the confection) may be used as a treatment for Crohn's Disease. Standard or Empirical Medicine disputes this claim.
