Dear lybrate user, *light, easy to digest food articles such as liquid rice, porridge are recommended. Soups made from lentils are also good in diarrhoea. Fruits like sweet lime, oranges, melons are allowed. *heavy, spicy, fried food is prohibited. Non-veg items, eggs are also not allowed. Sugarcane juice is also forbidden. *water is adviced to be boiled before drinking. *take 1-2 teaspoons of the pulp of a ripe bael fruit with water twice a day. It is very effective in relieving dysentery. *take a glassful of buttermilk with a pinch each of rock salt, black pepper, and roasted cumin seed powder twice daily with breakfast and lunch.
