Answer 1

Seltzer water helps to settle your stomach because it is slightly alkaline and it partially neutralizes the acid in your stomach.

Lemon does not do the same thing. Salt water may actually make you throw up.

None of this is related to the "runs", unless you have a general stomach flu or similar which may give you diarrhea and vomiting.

If you want to stop the runs go to a drug store and buy some Lomotil (loperamide). It will dry you up fast.
