Activated charcoal, carrot soup with nothing added mainly boiled carrots mashed up, or white rice cooking water i.e. the water the rice has cooked in.  Charcoal is good as it will absorb toxins.

It depends on what is causing the diarrhea. I've had problems with parasites (amoeba). That's not your average bacterial infection that goes away relatively fast. The only thing that worked for me was raw garlic. About 6 medium sized cloves, once a day every other day. Relieve started after a week or two,  but since parasites are notorious for hanging around I needed to repeat this every second week for months to get them out and not show activity again.
 
Arch enemy? I mean, I don't like you, but I don't think you qualify as "arch enemy". Here, try this tiny ad:
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
