10 Diarrhea Remedies
Diarrhea Remedy #5: Foods to Eat
Although it may seem as if eating may trigger your next episode of loose bowel movement, there are certain foods that can relieve diarrhea symptoms. Some of these foods are low-fiber foods that will increase the firmness of the stool as they are considered as “binding” foods. Some of the best foods to eat are bananas (B), white rice (R), applesauce (A), and toast (T), also known as the BRAT diet. The foods also help by replacing the nutrients that is lost through diarrhea.
There are also other foods that are usually well-tolerated such as boiled or baked potatoes without the skin, baked chicken without skin, oatmeal, and chicken soup. You can also sip clear juice or broth but avoid acid-based juices such as pineapple, citrus, and tomato juices. You can start with small amounts and increase gradually to drinking a cup every half an hour.
