5 Tips to Help Deal With Diarrhea
Printer-friendly version
- Try eating small meals frequently rather than two or three large meals each day.
- Avoid greasy, fatty, and fried foods.
- If dairy products cause problems, try decreasing the amount you eat or drink at one time. Or eliminate them from your diet temporarily. Try using lactose-free medical nutritional products such as Ensure® to help meet your nutritional needs and calcium needs.
- Drink plenty of liquids, since diarrhea causes fluid loss.
- Talk with your doctor if you have diarrhea more than twice daily. She or he may want you to drink a special solution to replace important minerals lost in diarrhea. If you notice blood in the stool, be sure to tell your doctor.
