Diarrhea Question- what can I eat?


So I'm on a medication that causes diarrhea as a side effect, I'm only on the medication for a few more days before I complete treatment, I can handle that which is why I'm not going to ask to be put on another medication.

But I'm wondering, since I have diarrhea, does this mean I can pretty much eat whatever I want guilt-free since my body will pass it very quickly?

bananas

Well, sort of, yes. But the best way to think of it is that since you are losing so many nutrients, you should be trying to eat as much nutritious food as humanly possible so you don't get malnourished! Eat bananas for the potassium and the binding help, and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

Yeah, so long as it's bananas. Diarrhea is always bad.

Eat whatever you want. That's the answer you were looking for. Seriously you should try some Immodium and a balanced diet. The balanced part is what your Doctor should have recommended to you. The Immodium will help with the diarrhea and also with the associated cramps.

I would say yes to a certain extent
