Boiled Potatoes
It is great to know that those small sweet tubers that take different forms are also foods to add to your diet when suffering from diarrhea. Typically, one would think such food as potatoes would be a potent supportive agent of diarrhea because of its sweetness. But this sweetness is not as a result of the addition of any sweetened agent but a natural property embedded in potatoes. Of course, there are different types of potatoes, and not all are naturally sweetened. How to be it, potatoes generally, whether sweet or Irish contain a variety of fiber called resistant starch. Resistant starch when consumed does not digest in the small intestine but instead proceeds to the large intestine where it assists in the production of good bacteria and improves bowel health.
