Foods to Eat in a Diarrhea Diet
The best options for a diarrhea diet are the BRAT foods, which stand for bananas, rice, apples, and toast. These are bland foods that do not put too much stress on the digestive system. They are also binding, meaning that they can help make the stools firmer. Other foods to eat in a diarrhea diet include apple juice, applesauce, soda crackers, or cooked cereal. Since diarrhea may lead to dehydration, you should drink a lot of liquids to stay hydrated and replace the lost fluids and electrolytes. You may drink water, clear broths, electrolyte-enhanced water, or decaffeinated tea. Once the symptoms have improved, you can slowly add cooked veggies or scrambled eggs back to the diet. [4]
