what foods stop diarrhea fast - #19375

Shaurya

I am really worried about this ongoing issue I've been having. For the past few days, I've been dealing with diarrhea, and it's really affecting my day-to-day life. I've tried a few things but nothing really seems to work. My friend said I should try eating bananas and rice and stuff like that, but like honestly, what foods stop diarrhea fast? I don't even know if I'm doing it right! Yesterday, I had some toast thinking it might help, but I was still rushing to the bathroom every few minutes. It's getting kinda embarrassing. I know they say to stay hydrated, but I'm not sure what foods I can eat that will not make it worse. I've heard about the BRAT diet – bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Is that legit? What about yogurt?? I thought probiotics were good, but some people say to avoid dairy when you have diarrhea. Like, how am I supposed to know what foods stop diarrhea fast if everything is conflicting? Should I be focusing on bland foods, or would something like plain chicken be a better choice? Any advice would be super helpful!
