Brief Answer:
Easily digestible foods

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Most essentially clean water or ORS is to be taken after every loose motion as guided by thirst.
During diarhea, the patient can take liquid diet preferably. The diet has to be easily digestible and devoid of complex non-digestible proteins. Thus the diet can include items like khichdi, soft roti mashed in curry of sabzi, nicely mashed rice, mashed fruit, etc

I advise against non-vegetarian food during this period. The reason is that non-vegetarian food may have been handled by a vendor that may be a carrier of germs. It may also have been washed in water contaminated with the germs.

Raw food like salad and other raw vegetables can be avoided as the intestines are sore. Nutritious food and fruit should be taken. Food handler should thoroughly wash her hands before and after taking food. Patient should not prepare his own food during this period to avoid contamination from his own germs.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Dr Vaishalee
