Diarrhea in children is still one of the ten major diseases in chiridren. Diarrhea can cause undernutrition, while the undernutrition itself can also cause diarrhea. Until the year of 2000, the prevalence of diarrhe had been decreased, but due to multidimentional crisis it increased up to 27.5% in 2003. Giving the drugs which directly stop the diarrhea are not recommended, while knowing the definite cause of diarrehea to find the causative treatment still needs several days. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) which contained medium chain saturated fitly acid was used because of its contains of lauric acid and capriac acid, which had antibacterial, antiviral and antiprotozoal action. It also could increase nutritional absorbtion without using enzyme. This longitudinal study was done to know the the profile of duration of diarrhea in children who treated with VCO as an alternative therapy without waiting for laboratory result. Among 42 children under 5 years old who observed in this study, 37 and 5 of them were suffered of acute and chronic diarrhea respectively. This study was only done into the acute diarrhea children while the chronic diarrhea children were only been observed. One case was excluded as he consumed non-VCO drug. Among children with acute diarrhea, 18 were given a teaspoon of VCO two times daily and the other 18 children were given with diet therapy by assumption that the cause of diarrhea was viral. All subjects who drank formula milk, were given low lactose formula milk. Sixteen children which treated with VCO cured within 1 to 2 days and two of them cured within more than 3 days. Among children with diet therapy, 11 children cured within 2 to 3 days and 7 children within more than 3 day (p<0.05). The other five chronic diarrhea children (1-6 months) were cured within 3 to 9 days. VCO can decrease the frequency and duration of acute and chronic diarrhea in children.
