Lucy seems to be better today. I will keep you posted.  I started mixing slippery elm and a kaolin powder for cats (like kaopectate but for cats) with warm water into a gel-like paste and giving her about a spoonful 3 times/day plus once a day an acidophilus pill. I also gave her some W/D wet food, which is supposed to be easy on the digestive system. I hesitate to say the diarrhea is all gone, but it seems like it is or almost is. I will let you know for sure tonight.  Keep in mind this was simple diarrhea from a change of diet and antibiotics for too long, so this remedy probably would not work for diarrhea caused by IBD.  Though slippery elm paste a few times a day did control the diarrhea of my cat Josephine who had intestinal lymphoma 3 years ago.

another thought:  my alternative vet uses apple pectin and my regular vets use Metamucil....unflavored.  Both have worked for my critters.
