A member asked:
During periods when i experience loose bm's, is it still ok to eat (sugar free) oatmeal or will that make it worse? what about dried apricots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oatmeal OK. Apricot: not so much. Dried fruits contain concentrated sugars which can aggravate diarrhea, and also frequently sulfur which could also contribute to gas. Bananas might be a good substitute at these times.
