What is the use of bananas?
One of the most effective products in this case is a banana, thanks to its multicomponent composition:
- A large number of pectins allows to absorb liquid and promotes normalization of intestinal motility.
- Thanks to the potassium ions, the electrolyte balance is restored.
- Inulin promotes normalization of intestinal microflora.
It is important to give preference to ripe bananas, since a green, unripe product will have exactly the opposite effect.
What berries can I use for constipation?

mors or jelly. Berries contain a large number of tannins, which eliminate the inflammatory process and have a fixing effect.

To strengthen the fixing effect of starch, you need to add fresh berries of blueberry, quince or bird cherry to the kissel. The substances in their composition have a beneficial effect on the digestive organs. Due to the mucous content of the jelly, if it enters the intestine, it will envelop the mucous membrane.
In the list of products with a fixing effect can be attributed porridge. Rice and oatmeal helps to eliminate diarrhea. They quickly saturate the child's body with useful substances.
Viscous porridges protect the digestive organs from the effects of unfavorable factors. The exception is pearl barley, which is digested long enough in the patient's stomach.

Diarrhea - when to sound an alarm
Can diarrhea be considered harmless to health? The answer is not in all cases. In fact, or the child is often caused by either the reaction of the intestine to a product, or a serious disease. And the disease does not necessarily have to be associated with a digestive system disorder. This may be a mental disorder or an oncological disease.
But mostly diarrhea is due to improper eating habits. We often eat foods that our digestive organs take with increased sensitivity. Also, sometimes the combination of any products is incompatible (for example, if there is pelmeni and drink it with milk). Subsequently, this, diarrhea begins.
If you experience diarrhea precisely because of food intolerance or incompatibility, you need to determine which foods stimulate your diarrhea. Then, replace them with food, which for the sake of its prevention. Sometimes the abuse of products with laxative properties, can also lead to diarrhea. If your breakfast, lunch and dinner are 90% only of sour-milk products, fresh vegetables and fruits, the cause of diarrhea is precisely in your diet.
To sound an alarm for diarrhea is when feces are observed 3-6 times a day for a long period (from 3 to 7 days). Prolonged diarrhea is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as malaise, vomiting, fever. It is important to pay attention to the consistency and color of feces. Probably, they can be found with blood or mucus. This is not good signs. In this case, self-treatment of diarrhea is categorically prohibited. It is urgent to see a doctor
The causes of protracted diarrhea are:
Prolonged diarrhea leads to dehydration. To prevent a large loss of fluid in the body, it is important to comply with the drinking regime. On average, an adult can drink 2 liters of purified water a day, a child 1.5 liters. The consumption of tea, coffee, juices and even the most watery berries such as watermelon is not taken into account
Symptoms of lack of fluid in the body are:
- General fatigue.
- Confusion of consciousness.
- Headache.
- Feeling of thirst.
- Dryness of the mucous membranes of the mouth, nasal passages and eyes.
- Urine is a dark yellow color.
If you suddenly have diarrhea and you notice other symptoms that affect your well-being, consult a doctor immediately. In such cases, self-medication and assumptions that in a couple of days will be better, can only exacerbate health problems.
What you can not and can eat with diarrhea
Observance of an individual diet is a prerequisite for the treatment of prolonged diarrhea. It is necessary to compose a therapeutic diet of food that can be eaten during diarrhea, and exclude from it those foods that are forbidden to eat with diarrhea.
Consider products that can not be eaten:
- Oily food. This includes food cooked with a lot of vegetable / animal oil or seasoned with sauces.
- Milk and its derivatives: butter, cheese, ice cream, kefir, sour cream, fermented milk and yoghurt. Refrain from dairy products, stay away from these products, even if you do not have problems with the tolerability of lactose. During diarrhea, the sensitivity of the intestines to dairy products increases, which can aggravate diarrhea.
- Alcoholic beverages and caffeine-containing drinks are not allowed for diarrhea, because they are "diuretics" - absorbers of liquid that lead to dehydration of the body.
- Vegetables, berries and fruits with a high content of natural acids. Strawberries, cherries, grapes, pears, tomatoes, onions, sweet peppers and all varieties of cabbage cause flatulence, swelling and diarrhea. Citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges and grapefruits stimulate fermentation and gases in the intestines.
- Baking, chocolate and sweets. Products containing artificial sweeteners have laxative properties.
- Nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds). These foods contain fats and insoluble dietary fiber, which weakens the stool. If you eat a handful of such nuts, it will only aggravate diarrhea.
- Seeds of sunflower and flax. These seeds, like nuts, have a laxative effect on the digestive system.
- Meat is lean (chicken, turkey).
- Chicken eggs without yolks.
- Yogurt is probiotic.
- Fish lean (perch, carp, herring, hake, pollock).
- The rice is lean.
- Potatoes (mashed potatoes).
- Vinaigrette is dietetic.
- Pasta.
- Apples.
- Watermelon.
- Quince.
Quince is considered effective in the treatment of diarrhea, if properly used for this purpose. As you know, quince contains a tart and very sour taste. Therefore, taking it in its raw form is not recommended. However, a useful tincture is obtained from it. If there is a quince growing in your areas, be sure to use it as a medicine for diarrhea. Before using this infusion, consult a doctor. Perhaps you may have more serious causes of diarrhea, and a quince drink will be powerless
How to cook an infusion? To do this, you need a fresh quince - 200 grams and 1 liter of hot water. In a glass bottle, place the fruit and pour boiling water. Insist for about an hour. Take a drink warm in 200 ml at one time every hour until the diarrhea ceases.
During diarrhea, you can eat salads with boiled potatoes. For example, a dietetic vinaigrette is allowed, which includes cooked beets and carrots. The benefit of such a salad with diarrhea, directly depends on what ingredients it will be. Today, there are many options for cooking this dish, the recipe of which can include beans, green peas, pickled cucumbers and cabbage. Dietary vinaigrette should not include these products. The listed ingredients stimulate fermentation and the formation of gases in the intestine. But in order that, such a vinaigrette was not at all fresh, it can be given a bit sour taste with the help of peeled apples.
Salad "Vinaigrette" is almost made up of boiled vegetables. Soft food is easier to digest by the body, which makes the stools loose and loose. Therefore, during diarrhea, you should eat boiled vegetables not more than 200 g per day.
