Diarrhea causes
Most people have diarrhea at least once or twice per year. You could have a food allergy, a bacterial illness or just eat something that doesn’t agree with you. Stress can also cause diarrhea. It is usually not a big deal and will resolve within a few days. Probiotics and a BRAT (bananas, rice, and applesauce) diet can ease symptoms. Avoiding fatty foods and difficult-to-digest food can also help.
Diarrhea is a common condition that requires specific food recommendations.
Recommended foods
- Buttermilk, pomegranate seeds, pigeon peas, Shasthi, old sali, and fresh bananas are all recommended.
- Yogurt is a good choice (unless you have lactose intolerance, in which you will need to reduce consumption).
- Pretzels, toast, plain crackers, saltines, grape juice, boiled potatoes, and rice
- Every day, drink 8-10 glasses of clear liquids.
Foods to Moderately Consume:
Moderation is the key to eating meat soup, boiled white egg and corn. Drink only the right amount of water.
Avoid these foods:
Avoid wheat, barley, and honey. Also, avoid drumsticks, ash gourds, drumsticks of all kinds, grapes/raisins, and green leafy vegetables. Avoid sugarcane and its juice
Home Remedies:
- To overcome diarrhea, boil pomegranate skins in water and reduce by half. Drink this mixture frequently.
- The decoction is made by boiling one teaspoon of cumin seeds in a glass of water. It’s then mixed with a tsp fresh coriander juice and a pinch of salt. Take this twice daily, after eating.
- As a remedy for diarrhea, nutmeg powder (about 5-10 grams) is mixed with apple or banana juice.
