Diet with diarrhea
The following is a description of which diet is best for diarrhea:
Apple peeled with peel, left to stand briefly before eating until it turns brownish. In apples (especially in the shell) is pectin (works, inter alia, similar to gelling, but just purely vegetable) that can bind liquids in the intestine.
By rubbing you get a larger surface than would be possible by chewing (unless you chewed every bite an estimated 1000 times) and it is released more pectin (usually that would probably take over the gastrointestinal tract, but in diarrhea he does not work normally anymore). In addition, let stand briefly until the Mus tans (= oxidation with the air). Not more than 2-3 grated apples a day!
NO CITRON JUICE AND SUGAR! Sugar and acid is enough in it, still would be nice for the tongue but not nice for the ailing stomach!
Otherwise good:
Except tomato soup, pretty much all Instantsuppen from chicken to asparagus soup (here comes to good times, that there is nothing fresh, etc. in it, which could harm the intestine even more) or other salty soups / broths without meat and vegetables (except chopped Carrot). To replace the lost fluid and lost minerals, especially salt.
- Salted potato flour (WITHOUT milk!) And grated carrot (also like mixed)
- Rusks, pretzel sticks, etc. (dry, salty pastries with little fat, because the liquid binds)
- Peppermint, chamomile and fennel tea with a little glucose or just plain sugar
- From time to time a cup of slightly sweetened, not too strong brewed (after 3 minutes tea bag take out) black tea (black tea has a dehydrating effect)
- No milk and milk products (that's all from yogurt to cheese) nothing greasy, nothing acidic (exception: grated apple)
- Only a little (!) Sugar (best glucose, which goes directly into the blood and must not be "processed" by the stomach yet as table sugar) to sweeten the tea, etc. - the same applies to honey.
- No juice or fruit / vegetables (raw food except the grated carrot and apple is to be avoided because more digestible and the acids and fruits of many sugars do not do the battered digestive tract well.)
- Cola / soda in case of diarrhea / vomiting is a myth, cola is taken only on foreign leave by necessity as the last alternative to possibly contaminated tap water (because for the cola normally "clean" water is used) - in this country you just drink tea. Otherwise, cola does not help at all (even carbonic acid does not do well in diarrhea, but especially the extreme amount of sugar).
- No carbonated drinks.
- Please avoid spicy or otherwise "strong" spices.
- Nothing cold (meaning from the fridge or freezer) and not boiling hot to take, but preferably warm to lukewarm.
Otherwise, bed rest if possible (unless you're in the bathroom again ...), and try not to infect other people (no one else prepare food, shake hands, of course, always wash your hands, etc.)!
In children, it is best tried with the above-mentioned herbal teas (a variety is enough, if the child, for example, no fennel or chamomile tea, just do not sing!) In small (!), Alternating portions of grated apple, pretzel sticks and potato chips and maybe occasionally some instant soup. This is usually (by taste) most likely to be accepted.
Not too big portions at once "reinzwingen" - it is the child even worse. Make sure there is enough fluid (if the child does not like tea any more, then broth or soup for a change, the main thing is getting enough fluid).
PS: Diarrhea can have many causes, from "eating something wrong (or in the wrong combination)" to serious viral diseases.
If the thing with the above tips does not noticeably / visibly improve or maybe even gets worse despite the tips, if possible go to the doctor from the second day (if it is known that a gastrointestinal illness in kindergarten / in at school / at work "bypasses" rather then on the first day)! Because if a persistent virus (such as Noro virus) is responsible for diarrhea, the recommended diet above will fight the symptoms (diarrhea) but not the cause!
