BRAT Diet and : Try brat diet for 4 days. First day clear liquid and then banana, rice, apple sauce, toast for next 2 days. Yogurt and cooked boiled vegetable with brat 4th day. If diarrhea improves, good continue with probiotics for a few more weeks. If this fails talk to your doctor for checking for antibiotic induced diarrhea.
