Please consult a doctor if your condition persists!
But here are some recognized home remedies to help in the meantime.
Natural Home Remedies For Diarrhea
Some common food substances have proven remarkably useful against diarrhea.
Carob powder
In a Canadian study of 230 infants with diarrhea only three were not cured by the addition of carob ‘powder to their formula. The treatment apparently worked because carob contains high levels of fibre which, as recent research has shown, can clear up digestive problems including diarrhea.
Apple cider vinegar
For a preventive measure start taking a teaspoon of vinegar and a teaspoon of honey in a glass of water half an hour before each meal a few days before your trip. Continue this regimen during your trip.
Yogurt
This seems to be beneficial in maintaining or restoring the health of the intestinal tract. ‘In many countries along the Mediterranean Sea and in the Balkans, yogurt has been used for years as a remedy for infantile diarrhea by both laymen and physicians,’ wrote Dr Molly Niv, Walter Levy and Nathan M. Greenstein in Clinical Pediatrics.
The three doctors fed yogurt to half of a group of children hospitalized with severe diarrhea. Those in the yogurt group ate a little less than 4 fl. oz three times daily, while the rest of the children received an anti-diarrhea drug. More children in the yogurt group than in the drug group recovered within three days.
Ginger -
Ginger tea can stop cramps and pain. Or take Ginger in capsules. Take a teaspoon of paste made from equal parts powdered ginger, powdered cumin, and powdered cinnamon mixed with honey three times a day.
Bran
The normal functioning of the intestinal tract depends upon the presence of adequate fibre - the kind that absorbs water and forms soft bulk. Fibre like bran. Bran relieves both constipation and diarrhea. It is not a laxative; It is a normalizer of bowel functions. Transit times - the amount of time it takes for food to pass through the body - are lengthened in individuals with chronic diarrhea who eat bran, but they are shortened in those with constipation. Bran thickens the loose, watery stools of diarrhea and softens the hard, dry stools of constipation. A few tablespoons (less for a child) followed by a glass of water should do the trick in a few days. If diarrhea persists, see your doctor.
Lemon juice
Drinking the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon in a large glass of water three to five times a day will kill off the pathogens causing the diarrhea. For prevention in case there is a stomach virus going around, take 1-2 tablespoons of juice before meals.

What did you eat? Is this food poisoning or stomach flu? I suggest if you aren't sure this is just a bug, to go see your doc, because you can get really dehydrated if you have constant diarrhea and vomiting. Anyway, how about peppermint tea or just sucking on a peppermint? Ginger is good, too, in tea, or chew on crystallized ginger. Both remedies are settling to the stomach. May I suggest sipping at watered down apple juice to stay hydrated, and if you can tolerate it, go with the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and dry toast). These are easy on the stomach and provide electrolytes.

Without knowing the cause, it's hard to say. Something mild for the stomach, like baked chicken meat (no skin, bones or salt) will help. NO Milk! Don't use human medications, a lot of those are toxic to cats. Get a vet's approval for over the counter meds. She should be checked, especially as it's been coming out both ends. Sometimes the longer you wait the worse the situation is to help fix.

Some people eat bananas to help with diarrhea. You might have food poisoning and need to call your doctor, or go to the ER if you are this sick.

Go to the ER, or a doctor, that is not something to mess around with. You could be severely dehydrated.
