foods to eat –
(1a) Plenty of fluids -Diarrhea dehydrates your body. To prevent dehydration,
you need to drink plenty of C L E A R liquids. (Water,
fruit juices, and sports drinks). Make your own sports drinks by adding a teaspoon of salt to 1 liter of
apple juice. A warm or normal room temperature drink is better than a cold
drink. Try to increase your fluid intake to at least (1 to 1 ½ Liter) per hour.
(1b) Lemon Juice / citrous juice cuts diarrhea (Tibb-e-Nabwi- Elgood page 35/161)
(2a) Mild foods (Bananas, boiled potatoes, Salty broth or eat salted crackers, dry toast) Stick to mild foods that won't aggravate your stomach, like crackers, bananas, dry toast, clear broth soups, and unseasoned rice. For proteins eat boiled egg, Baked, chicken (skinless) and plain boiled potatoes. Foods that contain potassium and fiber include mashed or boiled potatoes and bananas.

(2b) Old and grilled cheese heats the stomach and is beneficial
in cases of ulcers and diarrhoea. Fire makes it milder, softer and better
tasting and scented. Salted cheese on other hand is less nutritious and is bad
for the stomach and the intestines. [Medicine of
Prophet (صلى الله عليه
وسلم)] Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah Page 375 of
652)
(2c) Eat
Fiberous diet.(Barley
, brown rice, whole grains are good sources of insoluble
fiber - Cook the grains in a light
chicken or miso broth to help replace lost salts. Fiber can help absorb water and firm up stools. This can slow
down diarrhea. Another good source of fiber is Cooked carrots (whole or mashed).
