Question 10

should sodium rich food be taken in diarrhoea?what are they?

Accepted Answer

No: During diarrhea, you lose a lot of fluid and you can get dehydrated. We recommend lots of fluid to compensate but to have some with electrolyte so as not to dilute your system but not high sodium. Alternating water and juices or use pedialyte or even gatorade is adequate. No one wants to drink Normal Saline but that would be ok, lol. Just hydrate until the diarrhea goes away. Drink up, lol.
