loose motion mein kya khana chahiye - #16816

Aadhya

I am dealing with some pretty frustrating stomach issues lately. For the past few days, I've had loose motion and it’s driving me insane! I tried to stick to bland food but honestly, I’m not sure what the best choices are. I figured I’d do some research about loose motion mein kya khana chahiye, but every article seems to say something different. Some suggest bananas and rice, while others mention yogurt, but I can't really confirm if that works. Yesterday there was a point where I thought I was getting better, but at night the loose motion got worse again. I even had some ginger tea thinking it might help, but I don't know if that was smart or not. Should I be avoiding certain foods altogether? What about drinking water? I’m worried about dehydration too. Like, is there a specific combination that works best for loose motion mein kya khana chahiye? Should I focus on soups or stick with just plain food? I feel overwhelmed trying to understand what to eat or drink during this. Any advice for someone who’s just tired of constant restroom trips would be awesome!

Doctors’ responses

When dealing with loose motions, choosing the right foods is essential to help manage the symptoms and aid recovery. It’s generally recommended to follow a BRAT diet during episodes of diarrhea, which stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. These foods are bland, low in fiber, and can help firm up your stools. Bananas are particularly helpful as they not only provide energy but also replenish potassium lost during diarrhea. White rice and plain toast are easy to digest and can give your gastrointestinal system a much-needed break. Applesauce offers pectin which can help firm up stool.

Yogurt, specifically those that have live active cultures, can be beneficial as they introduce healthy bacteria to your gut, potentially aiding in restoring balance. However, if you suspect lactose intolerance, it’s best to steer clear as dairy might worsen your symptoms. Hydration is a top priority, so continue drinking plenty of fluids. Oral rehydration solutions are particularly good for preventing dehydration since they contain the right balance of salts and sugars to replenish lost electrolytes.

Chamomile or peppermint tea can also be soothing, but stick to decaffeinated varieties. Ginger tea is generally considered safe and may help soothe the stomach, although its effectiveness can vary from person to person. As for foods to avoid, steer clear of fatty, greasy, or spicy foods, dairy (if lactose intolerant), caffeine, and alcohol, as these can exacerbate the symptoms.

If your symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, you notice dehydration symptoms (e.g., dark urine, extreme thirst, dizziness), or if you have a high fever or severe abdominal pain, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly to rule out any serious conditions. Access to safe, effective treatment shouldn’t be delayed if the problem seems to escalate. Changing to a bland diet and focusing on hydration should provide some relief, but it’s also important to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional if your condition doesn’t improve.
