Coconut Cookies Rescue Diarrhea SuffererPosting Date: 05/13/2002 Q. Your suggestion of coconut macaroon cookies for diarrhea was a godsend for me. I?d had diarrhea for three years, and it was controlling my life. I tried various medicines, but none helped. I stopped eating when I was out. If I had an appointment in the afternoon, I didn?t eat until I got home. This made for a long day. When I read about the macaroons, I tried them. They worked so well, I couldn?t believe it. I could even go out to dinner and not be embarrassed. I told my doctor about the remedy and she said she would pass it on. Later she told me it helped two of her patients. A. Thank you for sharing your story. Many people have found that eating two coconut macaroon cookies daily can combat chronic diarrhea. We first heard about this remedy from Donald Agar in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. His powers of observation and his report of his experience have helped countless folks afflicted with Crohn?s disease or other conditions causing chronic diarrhea. We can?t explain why some people get such relief and others don?t. We suspect that coconut is the relevant ingredient. Q. I am 62 and have been on Premarin for ten years. I?d like to come off the Premarin because four relatives have died of breast cancer. The doctor says I need this pill for my bones and my heart. I?ve tried to get off Premarin three different times over the years. After about two weeks, I go crazy with hot flashes, night sweats and lack of sleep. Someone suggested black cohosh. I?ve started taking it, but I would like to know more about it. Could you please send me information on this and other supplements that would help hot flashes? A. When your body is suddenly deprived of its accustomed estrogen, it may respond with hot flashes and night sweats that can awaken you. As you have discovered, this might happen after years on Premarin as well as at menopause. Related StoriesRelated Videos |
