If you continue to maintain the usual eating habits and eat a lot of dry and hard food, it will make the intestinal lining more damaged, causing abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea to become more severe. Therefore, people with diarrhea are often told to eat porridge in case of illness. In addition to minimizing the burden on the digestive tract, porridge also helps to replenish fluids, prevent dehydration and ensure adequate nutrition for the patient.
To supplement the nutrition, patients need to eat nutritious food, processed in liquid form, soft and easily digestible, such as e.g. porridge: chicken porridgelean pork cooked with carrots, potatoes, pumpkin, etc. for easy digestion, absorption, and does not cause irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Porridge for people with diarrhea should cook slightly lighter than usual. You should not add too many spices porridge, especially pepper or chili, or add a lot of oil. These spices can stimulate peristalsis to contract harder and worsen loose stools.
