丹溪治疗一位富家子十四岁，面色黄善于进食容易饥饿，不吃肉不饱，腹泻一个月，来求治。诊脉两手皆大，奇怪的是并不甚瘦倦，认为是湿热当脾困而食少，现在反而形体健壮而多食，且不口渴，我推测此疾必是疳虫作痢也，取大便查看，果然是蛔虫所为。恰好前往他处，有一小儿医在旁边，教他用治虫药治疗，禁止他用去积药，约定回来途中当为他一看诊而止痢。偶然未照做。到了次年春夏之交，其泻复发，腹部不痛而口干。我说，这是去年治虫而不治疳的缘故，于是用去疳热的药，浓煎白术汤送下，三日而泻止。半月后，偶然经过他家，见其子很瘦，我教他以白术为君药，芍药为臣药，川芎、陈皮、黄连、胡黄连入少量芦荟制丸，用白术汤送服，半月而止，禁止他不食肉物，三年应当自愈。

My family child suffered diarrhea for over 100 days, emaciated to skin and bones, unresponsive to myriad methods. Official Zhongli Jun saw him and asked, "Why not take Wupo San? It will cure immediately." I obtained the formula, prepared it, gave 2-3 doses, and it worked. My grandson also had severe Gan diarrhea; two doses stabilized him. For deep-seated illness, recovery within 1-2 days. This medicine is effective for Gan diarrhea; its nature is slightly warm, so it may not suit sudden hot diarrhea.
Danxi treated a wealthy boy, 14 years old, yellow face, voracious appetite, craves meat, diarrhea for one month. Pulse large in both hands. Surprisingly not weak/tired. Initially suspected damp-heat spleen stagnation with poor appetite, but he was robust, ate much, and was not thirsty. I suspected Gan worms causing dysentery. Examined stool: confirmed Ascaris. While away, a pediatrician advised using vermifuges and forbidding accumulation-resolving drugs, promising to check pulse upon return to stop diarrhea. Accidentally did not follow through. Next spring/summer, diarrhea recurred, no abdominal pain but dry mouth. I said, "This is due to treating worms last year but not Gan." Prescribed Gan-heat-clearing medicines, taken with concentrated Atractylodes decoction. Diarrhea stopped in 3 days. Half a month later, visited his home, saw him very thin. Advised: Atractylodes as Sovereign, Paeonia as Minister, plus Ligusticum, Citrus Peel, Coptis, Picrorhiza, and small amount of Aloe, formed into pills, taken with Atractylodes decoction. Stopped in half a month. Forbidden meat consumption; self-healing in 3 years.
*Doumen Jing* Formula for pediatric Gan diarrhea.
Use Chishizhi (Red Halloysite), grind/sieve to fine powder like flour. Mix with porridge drink, take half qian. Immediate cure. Or mix with Jingxiong (Ligusticum) in equal parts, even better.
*Zhuang Shi Family Collection* Formula for chronic Gan diarrhea unhealed.
Chishizhi (Red Halloysite) Lvfan (Green Vitriol) Duanshi (Calcined Lime) (each 2 liang) Liuhuang (Sulfur) (half liang)
Grind evenly. Put in jar, burn until flame turns green. Cool, remove, grind. Each dose: 1 zi or half qian. Mix with cooled millet drink, take before meals.
Another Formula

Grind into powder. Each dose: half qian, mixed with aged rice drink.
