If you have had the unfortunate episode of diarrhea it is bad enough when you can get to the “facilities”. Not only can it be very bad while in the wilderness for several different reasons, but it can wind up being deadly due to dehydration.
This is what you can do to treat it if you don’t have any anti-diarrhea medication with you.
When your camp fire is burning or after it has stopped, pull out a thumb nail size of black charcoal. Crush it up and mix it with purified water. About two cups will do. The charcoal will actually absorb the bacteria in your stomach which is causing the diarrhea.
If you are constipated, use the gray ash and mix it into two cups purified drinking water. It will loosen you up.
Be careful not to use too much of the charcoal or gray ash at once. Use small doses the size of your thumb nail so your body will adjust as you need it to without harshness one way or the other.
So remember:
Charcoal to stop you up. Remember clumpy when handling. That’s the result of the bowel movement you want.
Gray ash to loosen you up. Remember thin and flowing when handling. If that’s the desired effect of the bowel movement you want.
