BRAT diet: We generally recommend the 'BRAT' diet for people with diarrhea, as it contains foods which help bind the stools. Things like Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, plain chicken, pastas, etc. Electrolyte solutions such as Pedialyte help prevent dehydration and are better than sugary sodas or juices, which can make diarrhea worse. Some people need to avoid dairy while they are having loose stools.
