Cookies Tame Dreadful Diarrhea

Q. Archway Macaroons are back! Just wanted to let you know, so you can inform your readers. I found them back on my grocery store shelves just today and bought out the macaroons they had. This will be great news for other readers who couldn’t find relief from chronic diarrhea without coconut macaroons. Thank you for keeping us all well informed about health issues.

A. Others have also reported that Archway Coconut Macaroon cookies are once again available on grocery shelves. The original manufacturer filed for bankruptcy last year. Lance, Inc., bought Archway and brought the original formula coconut macaroon cookies back to the market.

We first heard about using coconut cookies to quell chronic diarrhea in 1998 from Donald Agar. As a Crohn’s disease victim, he was pleased to discover that two Archway Coconut Macaroon cookies a day eased the diarrhea that had plagued him for decades.

Since then, we have heard from hundreds of readers who have found coconut helpful: “I had a kidney transplant (donated by my beautiful daughter Lizzie) and the medicines I have to take really do a number on my stomach. I was having disruptive diarrhea daily. When I read about the coconut cookies, I tried them and they worked!”
