Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Klerida Shehu Gastroenterologist and I am happy to help you.
With regards to you r question I can say that:
- burnt toast may help to improve diarrhea due to the fact that burned toast can absorb more water in intestine
- milk is not a good choice in cases of diarrhea, sometimes it can worse it.
Usually in my clinical practice I recommend yogurt and rice to improve diarrhea.
Hope it was helpful .
Otherwise if you have other concerns ,I would be glad to assist you further .

Brief Answer:
Please follow

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
the fact that diarrhea is a bit more solid means that you are recovering.
Most probably it has been related with an acute gastroenteritis.
Take plenty of water during this time.
Your stools will be normal formed after a couple of days.
Wish you health
