10 Foods That Help Diarrhea
Helpful Diarrhea Food #8: Farina
Farina is a type of milled wheat made from the endosperm and germ of the grain. It is often prepared like porridge or hot cereal. It is a carbohydrate-rich food and one of the best sources of dietary iron if enriched.
To improve its taste, other ingredients such as honey, nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, chocolate, butter, salt, and jams can be added. However, for those with diarrhea, it is best eaten plain as the added ingredients may aggravate the intestines. Farina eaten plain can soothe the gut and become a binding substance that helps the stool become firmer.
