Does Lime Juice Treat Diarrhea?

I have been plagued with diarrhea for years now, I have completely cut out all sugar for about 2 years now and that helps a lot. I have notice recently that when I have lime juice it firms me right up, even better than taking anti diarrhea pills. Why do you suppose that is? Could it be PH related? I know that my system is pretty alkaline, has been every time I checked it. The doctors I've talked to about this are no help, now I don't have insurance, I live on a small island in Hawaii. I am 58 years old, super fit in every other way, I cycle long distances, ride horses, grow a lots of the food that I eat too.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.

I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms omeprazole, ofloxacin, ornidazole,lactic acid bacilli, and loperamide hydrochloride when ever necessary.
Lemon juice is acidic, and have the antibiotic property as well.
I advise you to avoid milk and milk products, wheat, and barley.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
