What foods should I stop eating when I have diarrhea? What should I pay attention to in my diet?

The main reason for diarrhea is our unhygienic diet. After the diarrhea is cured, we should also pay attention to our diet and eat more light and easy-to-digest foods, such as dried lychees and buckwheat noodles. If you are experiencing diarrhea, you might as well eat more fruits and porridge.

1. Foods that can be eaten after diarrhea include:

Dried lychees: 25g dried lychees, 6 dates, decocted in water. Litchi can promote the production of body fluids, strengthen the qi, relieve stagnation and eliminate dampness and cold. This technique can cure diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency.

Beef soup: Season beef with ginger and salt, cook it into soup and drink it regularly. Beef nourishes the spleen and stomach, cures all kinds of injuries, and can treat long-term diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency.

Yam and hawthorn: equal parts of fresh hawthorn meat and yam, add appropriate amount of sugar, mix well and steam until cooked, then press into thin pancakes and eat after cooling. Hawthorn nourishes the spleen, eliminates food stagnation, promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and stops diarrhea. This prescription can cure malnutrition and diarrhea in children and chronic diarrhea due to spleen deficiency.

Soba noodles: Cook and eat an appropriate amount of soba noodles for 4 consecutive days. Buckwheat relaxes the intestines and reduces gas, treats stagnation, and relieves swelling and pain. This method is specifically used to treat diarrhea.

In addition, patients with diarrhea can also supplement with an appropriate amount of Zangling Stachyose every day to help treat diarrhea.

2. What to eat for diarrhea

1. Eat fruit

You can eat some fruits as an auxiliary treatment for diarrhea, but not all fruits can be eaten. You can eat apples, pomegranates, etc. if you have diarrhea; you cannot eat pears, watermelons, bananas, etc. if you have diarrhea. Cut the apple into small pieces with the skin and core, boil them in water for 3 to 5 minutes, and eat them after they are warm. It should be noted that when eating cooked apples, it is not advisable to add sucrose for seasoning, because sucrose may aggravate diarrhea.

2. Drink porridge

If you have diarrhea, you can drink some white porridge with salt, but it is recommended not to add meat. Meat porridge will also increase the burden on the stomach and intestines. Although the pain will be relieved after defecation, the stomach and intestines will have varying degrees of edema due to inflammation. If you eat meat dishes, it will aggravate the condition. Therefore, within two to three days after diarrhea, the diet should be light. You may as well drink some white porridge with a little salt.

3. Eat pasta

If you have diarrhea, you need to eat some food that is easier to digest. Pasta is a good choice. Noodles are rich in nutrients and are relatively easy to digest and absorb, so eating noodles is a good choice for people with diarrhea. However, for people with diarrhea, the noodles they eat should not be too greasy, as too greasy noodles will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.
