Diahrrea still....

So I have been having diahrrea since Monday. I blamed the junk food I ate on Sunday for it but come on, it's Thursday night and I am still not better. I called my OB and she said do the BRAT diet. (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) I guess this is the best I can do although my belly wants spicy V8 right now! Any advice?

To give your stool some bulk, do the BRAT diet and advance your diet as tolerated.  You don't want to get dehydrated.  And something spicy may burn on the way out!  Get better soon.  Avoid sugary snacks and juice as this will make diarrhea worsen.

p.s. a baked potato may also be okay to try, no butter and no sour cream!

my advice is to NOT touch tomoatoes for awhile!!

 Maybe get some acidolpholis and use that daily to prevent these issues. Brat doen't have such great minerals and vitimins so hopefully just 1/2 a day will get you through?

I know exactly how you feel. I had terrible diarrhea last night. I was absolutely miserable. I spent all of today on the BRAT diet and it seemed to help. You can also eat yogurt. I'm sick of this bland way of eating too. I can't wait to get back to normal.
