milk during loose motion - #16102

Shivansh

I am really confused about this whole thing with milk during loose motion. Got hit with some bad stomach bug a few days ago and let me tell ya, it was not pretty. I started feeling awful with all the loose motions, and yesterday my family suggested drinking milk to help calm my stomach or something. Like, I get that milk is supposed to be soothing sometimes, but I remember my grandma always saying, “never have milk during loose motion.” Now I’m stuck here worried like, am I making it worse if I drink milk during loose motion? I’ve read a few things online, and they kinda contradict each other. Some say it might help, while others say it’ll totally mess me up, like why? Also, is it just regular milk or should I be looking at something like buttermilk? Do I even want to be mixing any dairy when I’m dealing with this? Because honestly, the last thing I want is to end up on the toilet even more! Anyway, could it be safe to have milk during loose motion or should I just avoid it altogether? Any thoughts on what’s really going on here would be super helpful!
