1. In diarrhea/loose motion one tend to loose lots of water from his/her body, so whatever that contain water is good. [Cucumber contain water.]
2. but taking them now and then, can/may lead to gas problem [being rich in cellulose make them indigestible] with resulting bloating and loose stool [so avoid in excess]
3. maintain good hydration: ORS [oral re hydration salt] is important part of treatment.
. avoid fruit juice,wheat products, coffee, milk, raw vegetables/fruits, spicy/fried food
. liquid diet or plenty of fluids are essential: electrolyte solution, coconut water, daal water, mashed banana, dry toast without butter, rice, cooked veegtables
