Excrement is the main external indicator of health and digestion.
Thanks to it, a person can learn if he is suffering from an infection, a digestive problem or even the initial signs of cancer.
One of the most common problems with stool is diarrhea, which occurs when food waste passes through the colon faster than it should.
In adults, diarrhea does not cause major problems, but in the case of children, it can be fatal due to massive fluid loss.
For example, in the case of diarrhea as a result of an infection, a person can lose up to 20 liters of fluid per day.
The golden rule of defecation according to experts is that three days should not pass without defecation and one should not pass food waste more than three times a day.
BOPB- The right regimen for eliminating diarrhea
BOPB is an umbrella term for: banana, rice, applesauce, and toast, as the perfect foursome to settle the stomach and treat diarrhea on the first day.
However, these foods are weak in terms of nutrients because to restore the situation to normality, the body also needs protein or fat.
Should fatty foods be avoided when suffering from diarrhea?
Fried and fatty foods tend to aggravate diarrhea if consumed indiscriminately.
But if you consume the minimum amount of fat, its digestion will alleviate the accompanying symptoms of diarrhea.
Half a teaspoon of butter, a little meat, or a teaspoon of mayonnaise at your next meal is enough to alleviate diarrhea symptoms.
Drugs that cause diarrhea
Diarrhea can be a side effect of using medications such as:
Those for cancer treatment
Antidepressant drugs
Diabetes medications
Medicines against high blood pressure.
Antibiotics
Sweets make diarrhea worse
Sugary drinks, even the sugars found in fruit, tend to worsen diarrhea.
This is because during digestion, sugar collects fluid in the intestines, diluting the stool.
Do not drink coffee if you suffer from diarrhea
The caffeine in coffee, tea, energy drinks, or chocolate doesn't leave the gut alone.
Caffeine acts as a colon stimulant, promoting its immediate discharge.
This is why if you have a problem with diarrhea, refrain from craving coffee.
Is yogurt good for diarrhea?
Yogurt, according to experts, can help you quickly eliminate this problem, because homemade yogurt contains live bacteria such as Lactobacilli, which contract the stomach and improve digestion.
Yogurt is especially beneficial if diarrhea is caused by antibiotics./AgroWeb
