Hi,

For diarrhea, the best treatment is fluid and electrolyte replacement which we are losing. Medicine is for the infecting quality of diarrhea and it helps very well.

As for food; apple, toast, and biscuits can be taken. For diarrhea, you can take Sporlac DS or Racecadotril which bulks the stool and reduces the frequency.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
