When suffering from diarrhea, it's essential to adopt a proper diet to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Here are some specific dietary tips to follow for effective diarrhea management.
Diarrhea causes a significant loss of body fluids, which can quickly lead to dehydration. It is therefore essential to drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Give priority to oral rehydration solutions (ORS), available in pharmacies. These solutions contain essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and glucose to restore fluid balance.
Rice is gentle on the stomach and can help thicken stools. Choose white rice, which is easier to digest than brown rice. You can prepare simple boiled rice or congee rice, a light rice porridge.
Bananas are rich in potassium, an essential electrolyte often lost during diarrhea. They're also gentle on the stomach. Eat ripe bananas to benefit from their potassium content while soothing your digestive system.
Apples, especially after being cooked or stewed, are a source of soluble fiber that can help thicken stools. Avoid eating raw apples, as they can be more difficult to digest.
Carrots are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that can help absorb excess fluid in the intestines. Cook carrots until tender to make them easier to digest.
Diarrhea can make it difficult to digest lactose. Avoid lactose-rich dairy products such as milk, cheese and ice cream. Instead, opt for lactose-free alternatives, such as almond milk or lactose-free yoghurt.
Spicy and fatty foods can further irritate your digestive system. Avoid spicy, fried and high-fat foods until the diarrhea subsides.
BRAT stands for Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. These foods are easily digestible and can help reduce diarrhea.
Instead of eating large meals, eat small, frequent portions. This reduces the pressure on your digestive system and facilitates digestion.
Caffeine and alcohol can aggravate diarrhea by stimulating the digestive system. Avoid coffee, energy drinks and alcohol until your condition improves.
In addition to oral rehydration, consume light soups and broths to replenish lost electrolytes. Avoid sodium-rich soups, as they can aggravate dehydration.
Everyone reacts differently to food when they have diarrhea. Write down what you eat and observe how your body reacts. This will help you identify the foods that suit you best.
By following these specific dietary guidelines for diarrhea, you can promote healing, minimize discomfort and speed recovery. Don't forget to consult a healthcare professional if diarrhea persists or worsens.

Health education advice
Diarrhea causes a loss of fluids and mineral salts.
This medicine treats the symptoms of acute diarrhoea in adults and children over 15, but does not dispense with rehydration, accompanied by dietary hygiene.
Drink plenty of sweetened beverages (fruit juices) and salty broths to compensate for these losses. Avoid milk, green vegetables, raw vegetables, fruit and spices until the diarrhoea disappears.
