what to eat or drink for diarrhea
To help you cope with your signs and symptoms until the diarrhea goes away, try to: 1  Drink plenty of clear liquids, including water, broths and juices. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. 2  Add semisolid and low-fiber foods gradually as your bowel movements return to normal. Try soda crackers, toast, eggs, rice or chicken.
Harmful Foods to Avoid. Include food high in pectin in your diet, like bananas, applesauce, and yogurt. Do not eat food that causes gas, such as carbonated beverages and chewing gum. Eat food rich in potassium, such as sports drinks, fruit juices, bananas, and potatoes without the skin. This helps cover loss of potassium through diarrhea.
