Q. I’d like to try coconut macaroons for controlling diarrhea, but I am trying to cut out sugar. Could I make my own macaroons using Splenda instead of sugar? Can shredded coconut be used by itself instead of eating the cookies?
A. Readers tell us that eating two coconut macaroons daily can ease chronic diarrhea. Some report that plain coconut also does the trick.
