@poushali While recovering from diarrhea, a person should eat bland, simple foods that are easy to digest and will help absorb some water from the stool.
Bland foods
People with diarrhea should eat bland foods, as spicy or complex foods can irritate the bowels. Bland foods that may help with diarrhea include:
hot cereals, such as oatmeal, cream of wheat, or rice porridge
bananas
applesauce
plain white rice
bread or toast
boiled potatoes
unseasoned crackers -
