1. Rehydrating
Loose motions causes a deficit of fluids, making it vital to rehydrate.
Hydrating the body is essential to recovering from diarrhea.
Diarrhea/loose stools causes a deficit of fluids, including water. This causes the body to lose electrolytes such as sodium and chloride.
To support recovery, it is vital to restore fluids. Otherwise, a person may become dehydrated.
Dehydration can be dangerous in children and older adults, so it is crucial to encourage them to drink water if they are experiencing diarrhea.
Drinking water is the first step to rehydrating. A person can also to create an oral rehydration solution by mixing 1 liter of water with half a teaspoon of salt and 6 teaspoons of sugar.
Consuming sugar and salt with water helps the intestines to absorb fluids more efficiently. This solution more effectively rehydrates the body after a bout of diarrhea than water alone.
Other drinks can also be beneficial. For example, drinking sports drinks can help rehydrate the body and restore potassium and sodium. Fruit juices can also help restore potassium.
Avoid drinking anything that will further irritate the digestive tract, such as:
caffeinated drinks
alcohol
carbonated beverages
very hot drinks
2. Eating a recovery diet
A diet of small, frequent meals can be better than eating three larger meals a day when recovering from diarrhea. A good diet for someone with diarrhea may involve:
foods rich in pectin, such as fruit
foods high in potassium, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes
foods with electrolytes, such as miso soup and sports drinks
cooked, soft vegetables
adequate amounts of protein
Some people find that having a liquid diet for the first 24 hours of diarrhea helps settle the digestive system. This may include salty broths, bland soups, and drinks.
Adopting this diet for the first 24 hours may prevent the bowels from working too hard.
Another option for people with diarrhea is the BRAT diet. This consists of:
Bananas
Rice
Apple sauce
Toast
This diet combines bland foods that are low in fiber and high in starch, which may help produce more solid bowel movements. It also contains helpful nutrients, such as potassium and pectin.
It is essential to note that the BRAT diet is highly restrictive and does not provide balanced nutrition. People should only follow this diet until they are feeling better and not any longer than 2 days.
3. Avoiding certain foods
A person with diarrhea should avoid eating greasy foods.
It can help to avoid foods that could irritate or put pressure on the gastrointestinal tract, such as:
high-fat foods
greasy foods
spicy foods
foods containing artificial sweeteners
foods with high levels of fructose
