can banana stop loose motion - #16555
I am really at my wits end here! Last week, I started having this awful case of loose motion, like seriously just non-stop trips to the bathroom. I didn't eat anything weird, but I remember having a smoothie with banana a couple days before it all started. I heard a friend say that "can banana stop loose motion?" and it got me thinking — could it have helped if I had some banana during this whole mess? Anyway, I have been avoiding solid food since my stomach is just a mess, but I feel like maybe a banana could make things better, right? I've read that bananas are supposed to be good for the stomach and can help with diarreah, but I don’t know how it all works. Should I really try eating banana, or is it better to stick with the bland diet of rice and toast that everyone tells me about? Also, if banana can stop loose motion like they say, how many do I actually need to eat? Ugh, I just want to feel normal again, like can banana stop loose motion surely? Feels like a silly question, but I'm really desperate at this point, and I just want to figure out what's best for me. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice!!
