Offer clear liquids, for example, Pedialyte, Ricelyte, and Gatorade. Chicken broth, tea, flat ginger ale, and Popsicles; may be used in small quantities in addition to electrolyte supplements. If an infant is breast-fed, continue breast-feeding. Drinking clear liquids like chicken broth or juice provides nourishment but also lets the bowel rest. Clear liquids are easier for the intestines to absorb into the bloodstream, and they quickly replace the fluids being lost with diarrhea. Ricelyte, Pedialyte, and Gatorade have a balance of liquid and electrolytes (salts) which are easily absorbed and will maintain the proper balance in the body.
Serve fluids between meals. Taking fluids between meals keeps a steady amount of water and other nutrients going into the body. Drinking between meals is also less likely to cramp a sore stomach or lower intestines.
After 24 hours of clear liquids, add low-fiber foods, for example, bananas, rice, applesauce, mashed potatoes, dry toast, crackers, eggs, fish, and poultry. Low-fiber foods do not attract or pull water out of the body into the bowel. They are easier to digest than high-fiber vegetables.
Eat small meals throughout the day instead of three larger meals. Smaller meals are easier to digest. The person will take in more fluid and food this way if served more frequently than three times a day.
Increase high-potassium foods in the diet, such as apricot or peach nectar, bananas, and mashed or baked potatoes. People tend to lose potassium when they have diarrhea. This chemical is vital to the body and needs to be replaced.

Food that will bulk you up. No milk or cheese. But you could have an apple and some whole grain bread. Chew thoroughly and if it persists you'd better see a doctor. Oh, and drink Gatorade. When you have diarhhea you lose electrolytes and gatorade helps to keep you hydrated and keep your electrolytes in--or any other sports drink like that will do. But dehydration and loss of electrolytes is what makes diarhhea so dangerous.

Bananas are good for this. I recommend taking Maalox or Pepto Bismal as well. Drink lots of water to flush your system out, but stay away from sweet juices or drinks.

Keep hydrated is the main thing. Applesauce, bananas, and chicken broth come next. Keep it bland, and if it is really serious, stay away from dairy.
Yogurt has shown to produce enzymes that might help

Drink more water 'cause you're dehydrated.
Bananas, biscuits, anything non-oily and non-greasy.
oh and take anti-diarrhea tablets like Imodium or Diatabs.
Hope this helps. Godd luck.

discusting question, but hey you are brave to ask it on here. The best thing is not to eat too much dairy products. Try drinking Pedialite. I know its for kids but it helps.and if it gets too bad talk to your doctor. and always watch what you eat.

Avoid dairy and drink ginger ale. Definately not prunes because prune juice helps relieve constipation.
