Suggest Diet That Helps Relieve Diarrhea
My wife has cancer and is on a weekly course of oral Navelbine (110Mg). Her last dose was yesterday mid-day since when she has bad diarrhea and is worried that the paracetomol that she takes to control the pain may not be good for her whilst the diarrhea lasts. Can you advise, and can you suggest a diet to get rid of the diarrhea

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, most of the diarrheal conditions are self limiting if is not due to any infection but care needs to be taken for dehydration, no need to have any special diet is there that could be helps in diarrhea, just care needs to be taken for spicy food and greasy food.
If the diarrhea is persistence then stool needs to be sent for culture sensitivity,
hope this information helps.
